Build Prototypes: Create and test AI models and tools using predictive and generative AI technologies.


Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Partner with actuarial, data, and finance teams to identify impactful use cases and ensure AI efforts align with business goals.


Establish Standards: Define and implement processes, best practices, and governance frameworks for secure, ethical AI usage.


Drive Adoption: Promote AI tools within the organization, gather feedback, and continuously improve implementations.


Ensure Compliance: Align AI solutions with internal standards around data privacy, security, and responsible AI use.



Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field.


2+ years of experience in AI/ML development and deployment.


Hands-on experience with generative and predictive AI models.


Familiarity with tools like Microsoft Copilot and GitHub Copilot.


Excellent communication and collaboration skills across technical and non-technical teams.


Self-starter with the ability to drive projects independently in a dynamic environment.


Experience in actuarial, life insurance, or financial services is a plus (but not required).



Who You Are

A builder and problem-solver with a passion for applying AI to real-world business challenges.


A strong communicator who thrives in cross-functional settings.


Equally comfortable rolling up your sleeves to prototype and shaping high-level strategy.


Curious, entrepreneurial, and motivated to innovate in a legacy organization.
