Data Scientist (George)

ENVIRONMENT: Our client is on the hunt for a Data Scientist who can make machines think smarter than humans. Based in George — where your models run fast and the coffee runs faster — you’ll join a team that’s redefining how data drives business. They’re not here to build pretty dashboards — they’re here to solve real problems with machine learning that drives smarter decisions, cuts costs, and fuels innovation. If you can turn messy data into powerful, production-ready models (no handholding required), this might just be your next great adventure. DUTIES: • Prepping, cleaning & shaping raw data into machine-learning gold • Finding hidden patterns no one else sees • Building, validating & deploying ML models into production • Keeping an eagle eye on model performance (and spotting drift before it drifts too far) • Retraining and upgrading models so they stay sharp • Designing intuitive dashboards & tools that make complex results look effortless

REQUIREMENTS: • Have a Degree or Honours in Data Science or Actuarial Science. • Have 3+ years in insurance or financial services (short-term insurance = bonus points). • Have 3+ years taking ML projects from raw data to deployment. • Can wrangle Python or R, SQL or Snowflake like a pro. • Have hands-on claims modelling, survival analysis & statistical modelling chops. • Understand time series forecasting like the back of your hand. • Are curious, independent, and allergic to “good enough”.
