- Communicate technical concepts, milestones, and project outcomes to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Work closely with legal, compliance, and security teams to ensure adherence to healthcare/insurance regulatory standards.
Innovation & Research
- Stay informed on cutting-edge research in AI, especially as it applies to healthcare and insurance (e.g., predictive analytics, fraud detection, patient segmentation).
- Drive innovation by encouraging the team to experiment with new models and methodologies, promoting a forward-thinking approach.
- **Operational Excellence (MLOps)**
- Implement best practices for deploying, monitoring, and maintaining AI models in production, ensuring high availability and performance.
- Establish CI/CD pipelines, version control, and model governance to maintain quality and traceability.
- Monitor system performance and proactively address bottlenecks, optimizing infrastructure for scalability and cost-effectiveness.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, Data Science, AI, or a related field.
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in machine learning or data science, with a strong portfolio of successful AI projects.
- 2+ years in a leadership or managerial role, leading multi-disciplinary AI teams.
- Proven track record in the healthcare or insurance sector is highly preferred (e.g., experience with claims processing, patient data, risk modeling).
Technical Skills
- Expertise in programming languages such as Python, R, or C++.
- Proficiency with AI/ML frameworks and libraries (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn).
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
- Familiarity with large-scale data processing tools and databases (SQL, NoSQL, Spark).
Leadership & Communication
- Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to guide, motivate, and develop technical teams.
- Exceptional communication skills for effectively collaborating with non-technical stakeholders in healthcare and insurance.
- Demonstrated capability in project management to deliver AI solutions on time, on budget, and with measurable business impact.
- Experience managing vendor relationships is a plus.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with claim adjudication, healthcare analytics platforms, or fraud detection systems.
- Background in NLP, computer vision, or other specialized AI disciplines relevant to healthcare applications.
