Job description

Connect to your Industry

Take your career to the next level by joining one of the world's best and most recognised professional services firms.

We are seeking to hire experienced Senior Data Modellers in the Insurance practice of Deloitte's AI & Data service offering.

Data is the key enabler across the insurance industry, across a range of business functions. Without a solid data foundation, clients struggle to achieve their vision for a data-powered future, including implementing advanced analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. Our team delivers transformational data solutions to our insurance clients that benefit our clients, their customers and regulators.

The Insurance industry is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by the increasing importance of data and analytics. As enterprises seek to leverage data to drive better business outcomes, they are turning to decentralised data management approaches such as Data Mesh and choosing disruptive technologies to build innovative and domain-oriented data products.

A well-crafted data modelling strategy forms the foundation of our clients' approach, facilitating the efficient implementation of advanced analytics and AI models to achieve a competitive edge in their industries and enhance the quality of their products and services for customers.

Our Data & AI Architecture team specialises in 'designing for data': how to source it, how to store it, how to structure it, how to transform it, and how to consume it for wide variety of data-centric functionality, including data APIs, data monetisation, Gen AI, machine learning, management information, and reporting.
