Risk Analytics Expert (Remote, Canada & USA)
Events in recent years have made us all too familiar with the havoc that natural disasters can wreak, and the increasing frequency and intensity with which they are occurring. Despite record levels of losses, conventional methods of risk modeling continue to paint at best an incomplete picture of these threats.
ZestyAI ingests novel data sources such as high-resolution aerial imagery, building permits, real estate transaction data etc., and leverages Artificial Intelligence (AI) to produce unique insights about risks to properties and communities from natural catastrophes like wildfire, hail, wind and water, along with property characteristics like roof condition and age. ZestyAI provides property and casualty insurers valuable intelligence that helps them, and the communities they serve, better prepare for and navigate catastrophes.
As a Risk Analytics Expert, you thrive in a collaborative and solution oriented culture. You enjoy working with cutting-edge data driven products and finding ways to help customers and prospects understand and realize value from these products. You are a pacesetter who wants to set the standard; you are organized, self-directed, and committed to innovation. More importantly, you can solve the complexities of Property and Casualty insurance analytics while also advising clients on optimizing their implementation strategy around the usage of ZestyAI's products.
What You’ll Do:

- Advise prospects on how to navigate the regulatory filing process associated with ZestyAI’s products by working and owning the relationship with our actuarial consultants

- Manage client facing projects from conceptualization to realization within cross-functional client teams to ensure that deliverables are on time, accurate, and exceed client expectations

- Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative field (actuarial science, statistics, economics, engineering, data science or similar)
- 5+ years in P&C insurance analytics, actuarial, underwriting, product, or a vendor role serving carriers

- Comfortable writing SQL and Python against large datasets (BigQuery or similar)
- Daily use of AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot or similar) for analysis, research and writing, with the judgment to check what they produce
- Working knowledge of rate filings, class plans, and how carriers bring third-party data into rating and underwriting
- Strong communication and storytelling with data, from analysts to the C-suite
- A track record of owning client deliverables and delivering on deadline
