Role Overview

The Senior Data Scientist will design and implement machine learning and NLP solutions for a claims and incident mitigation analytics project.

Apply NLP and text-processing techniques to claim and incident

narratives to extract useful risk signals.

Develop record-linkage approaches to connect incidents and claims

when a unique identifier is not available.

Build and validate models that rank incidents by likelihood of

becoming claims or requiring Risk Management intervention.

Build and validate claim severity models that classify claims by

likely financial impact and high-dollar claim risk.

Collaborate with Risk Management, Legal, Data Engineering, BI, Data

Governance, and MLOps partners to deliver usable business outputs.

Monitor model performance, drift, scoring quality, and retraining

needs.

Document modeling assumptions, feature logic, validation results,

and limitations.

Present findings, model results, and recommendations to business and

technical stakeholders in a clear, actionable manner.

Required Qualifications

Education:Masters degree in computer science, statistics, industrial engineering, or a related field is required; a PhD is preferred.

Experience:5+ years of experience in data science, operations research, or a related area (2+ years for candidates with a PhD).

Technical Skills:

Expertise in operations research modeling (LP, IP, MIP) and tools

such as CPLEX or Gurobi.

Expertise in building machine learning models, including supervised,

unsupervised, and deep learning methods.

Expertise in feature engineering, model evaluation, and

hyperparameter tuning.

Expertise in Python, SQL, and Spark, and a broad array of machine

learning frameworks (Scikit-Learn, XGBoost, Tensorflow, PyTorch, MXNet, LLM).

Experience developing and deploying solutions in a cloud environment

(AWS, Azure, GCP) with large datasets.

Experience with streaming data architectures.

Experience operating in an Agile environment.

Experience with DevOps and CI/CD concepts.

Excellent communication and teamwork skills.

Preferred Qualifications

Exposure to hospitality, travel, or service industry data and

A strong understanding of data architecture and MLOps best

practices.

Proven ability to translate complex analytics into business impact.

A passion for continuous learning and innovation in applied data
