Data Science Product Manager

New York, New york city, 10001 New york city USA

Vacancy expired!

When you join New York Life, you're joining a company that values development, career growth, collaboration, innovation, and diversity & inclusion. We want employees to feel proud about being part of a company that is committed to doing the right thing. Through various resources and programs, you can grow your career while developing personally and professionally.

The Center for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (CDSAi) is the 50-person innovative corporate Analytics group within New York Life. We are a rapidly growing entrepreneurial department which aims to design, create, and offer innovative data-driven solutions for many parts of the enterprise.

In the 5 years of the existence of CDSAi we have created a lot of predictive modeling solutions that are being used by various areas in the company. We have also built a modern model deployment platform that allows our models to be accessed in real time or batch (via APIs) from any production system in the company.

We have now reached a level of maturity where we want to (internally) productize many of our solutions, continuously improve them and find incremental use cases. The product manager will look after a number of such products by setting and managing internal branding and upgrade schedules and doing internal business development to increase the value and usage of our products.

The role reports directly to the Chief Analytics Officer and is non-technical (no hands-on coding). However, a good understanding of predictive analytics, technology, and life insurance (or at least consumer financial industry) is essential. Assuming this product manager is successful in the role, there is the possibility to hire additional product managers in the next 1 - 2 years who this person may lead.

The first data science products (roughly in order of priority) are below. There are many more that could follow.
  • Customer retention models (for multiple products, segments and tenures)
  • Agent productivity models (predicting both sales and agent retention)
  • Geospatial analytics for agency distribution (helping the field organization to optimize office footprint, recruiting and various other efforts)
  • Customer cross-sale and up-sale models
  • Underwriting mortality risk prediction

You will apply your analytical and technical skills to understand our products in detail and plan/manage product upgrades with incremental data, features or for incremental use cases.

You will apply your marketing/business development skills to brand and promote our products internally with the goal of creating additional use cases and value.

  • Follows industry trends in insurance and related data/analytics processes and businesses. Contributes ideas and actively participates in proof of concept tests of new processes and technologies.

    • Strong written and oral communication skills, including experience in developing and making influential presentations. Ability and executive presence to communicate persuasively with stakeholders at all levels in our organization as well as external partners. This is essential since you will have a lot of exposure to different internal groups such as Agency, Technology, Marketing, Service, Data, Legal, government relations, etc. as well as third-party data partners.
    • Familiarity with consumer financial regulatory environment, especially around data privacy and algorithmic bias issues.
    • Deep familiarity with the consumer financial data vendor landscape.
