What the job involves
- As a Data Scientist at Attune, you’ll work closely with stakeholders across Actuarial, Underwriting, Claims, Product, Revenue, and Customer Experience
- You’ll develop predictive models, test hypotheses, explore new data sources, and integrate your findings into the tools and workflows that power our business. You’ll also contribute to improving our internal data infrastructure, ETLs, and dashboards
- Partner with teams across the business—from Underwriting to Customer Experience—to understand their goals and identify how data can drive better decisions. You’ll translate business needs into analytical approaches and communicate findings in a clear, actionable way
- Analyze customer and broker behavior to improve engagement, retention, and conversion. This includes usage patterns, and anomaly detection to flag unusual or risky behavior
- Investigate business problems and test hypotheses using rigorous data exploration. Examples might include: What types of risks are associated with higher loss ratios? How do product usage patterns correlate with retention? Where can we find operational efficiencies?
- Develop predictive models and statistical analyses to support pricing, reserving, underwriting, and claims initiatives. You’ll apply a mix of statistical and machine learning techniques (e.g., regression, classification, clustering) to solve complex business problems with real-world impact
- Explore new internal and third-party datasets, evaluate their usefulness, and incorporate them into models and dashboards to unlock new insights or increase model performance
- Operationalize your work by integrating models into tools and workflows used by other departments. Collaborate with engineering and product to ensure insights are accessible, scalable, and reliable
- Contribute to the improvement of our internal data infrastructure, helping to optimize our reporting and dashboarding ecosystem
- Support ad-hoc data requests and deep dives, helping teams get quick answers to pressing questions and identifying longer-term opportunities for automation or model development
Our take
Small businesses require insurance to ensure they are protected in the event of financial risk, but accessing the right insurance plan is a time-consuming process. Brokers must manually file paperwork, use antiquated software applications, and deal with time-consuming underwriting paper trails, convoluted processes that greatly reduce the speed of access to insurance and ultimately lose brokers' clients.
Attune builds insurance products for brokers to sell to small businesses, helping to provide rapidly accessible coverage whilst minimizing the work required by brokers. The company achieves this by leveraging data to underwrite financial risks in minutes, fully digitizing direct billing and signing workflows, whilst providing live customer support from specialized underwriters.
Whilst the company faces competition from many other broker-focussed insurance providers, Attune has smartly focused its efforts on reducing insurance binding times through data-driven underwriting and digital workflows. The company claims that it can provide an insurance quote to clients and bind it within five minutes, across a wide range of products including policies for general liability, business owners, cybersecurity, and workers' compensation.
