Got Predictive Modeling Skills...?

The U.S. Department of Labor tracks statistics on the number of new types of jobs being created. Our opening for a Senior Predictive Modeler might not make that list as apparently it has been around for some time, but it was new enough to me that I was intrigued when I first found out we were looking for someone with this skill set.


What we are looking for is a strong self-directed individual who can work well both independently as well as part of a team and who has the ability and experience to create predictive models based on our data warehouse. This position will develop advanced, multivariate predictive models that identify profitable/unprofitable risks and enhance our ability to match rate to risk. It will also develop statistical and mathematical models to identify drivers of insurance costs and predict numerous other business outcomes and will provide expertise and assistance in implementing model results in ongoing business processes and analyze the impact of these models on the company’s growth and profitability.

If you are still with me and your eyes aren't glazing over then you might be a good fit for this unique opportunity. What also intrigued me was that the right candidate for this position could come from many different backgrounds including Actuarial, Information Technology, Economics, Advanced Mathematics/Statistics, or Insurance.  A graduate degree in statistics, applied mathematics or other quantitative fields along with a minimum 5 years advances statistical modeling experience in the financial services/insurance industry is required. Property and casualty or other related insurance industry experience would also be a plus.
