Description

In a large enterprise of talented data scientists, how do you lift all ships and help us all to do better? In a world of Generative AI, how do you leverage the bleeding edge while keeping us ahead of regulatory changes? How do we maximize the value of our scientific excellence, while minimizing the risk to customers, privacy, complicated code, and sophisticated predictive models?

You are the kind of scientist who puts integrity first. You want to help an entire enterprise succeed. You want to help create tools and techniques that make our models more reliable, and don’t just slow innovation via excessive governance. You create best practices to help Data Science (DS) get to market quickly. You find ways of measuring talent and tech debt, and you are excited to build a culture around continuous improvement with your colleagues. You don’t just see a problem in code – you see a technique to avoid it, a process to prevent it, and a talent development program to carry the torch forward.

We are the Office of Data Science in Liberty Mutual, a central group whose mandate is to make it easy for our DS talent to excel across all markets. We help build advanced AI solutions, create a culture of learning and collaboration, and curate an ecosystem of tools used by all our scientists. We work cross-functionally with business leads, compliance, and platform developers to bring the whole enterprise to bear on Liberty’s most challenging data and predictive challenges.
