ROLE


Deploy is Akur8’s rating engine, the final step in our end-to-end vision, where all steps of pricing - from data analysis, to modeling, to ratemaking - are streamlined into one modern, powerful and efficient software.


As a new product under active development, there are numerous opportunities and challenges, providing a bridge between two key functions in insurance.


Whilst on the actuarial side it focuses on extracting insights from data and making statistical decisions for the business; on the IT side it concentrates on maintaining and producing reliable systems.


In insurance, the different skillsets and perspectives required for these two sides are currently are solved via inefficient processes and handoffs, which Deploy aims to solve in order to provide synergy and alignment so as to increase time-to-market. Solving these challenges requires a deep understanding of both IT and Actuaries objectives, how they are organized, and mapping the complex ecosystem that is behind an insurance product and its pricing.


Akur8 is looking for a Senior Product Manager motivated by problem solving, capable of deep diving on details, and who shows innovative approaches to finding intuitive solutions to seemingly complex problems.


We're looking for a profile who is highly focused on product definition, problem solving and design skillset, rather than solely a person whose main responsibility is to align priorities across the stakeholders.


The Senior Product Manager position is a cross-functional role, providing a wide range of interactions with various internal teams such as Product Design & Engineering, as well as Sales & Marketing.


Being a Product Manager in our organisation requires acquiring knowledge of how the different parts of our platform interact, and then abstracting customer problems in a framework so as to find clean solutions with solutions to complex challenges.


Main responsibilities:


  • Constantly acquiring a deep understanding of actuarial ratemaking, and IT deployment challenges(product models, Policy Admin System design)
  • Leading user interviewsto deeply understand end user challenges and objectives
  • Defining frameworks and solutions to solve user challengesby prioritizing what matters and what doesn’t
  • Collaborate with Engineersto codesign and scope the features for internal development squads
  • Animating training sessionsfor clients, prospects and colleagues




PROFILE


For this key role within our Product Management team we’re keen to speak to applicants that meet the following criteria.


You have:


  • A Masters degree or PhDin a quantitative discipline
  • 3+ years experience in Insurance industry, with interactions with either pricing actuarial teams or IT (pricing or policy admin systems)
  • 3+ years experience in a quantitative position, such as Data Scientist, Engineering or Product Manager.


  • A sound understanding of machine learning concepts, models, and algorithms
  • Excellent quantitative & analytical skills


  • Very strong problem solving skillswith a focus on providing and creating robust solutions
  • Ability to provide detailed, focused and deep product requirementsand system reactions
  • Team leadership or management experience


  • Effective communication skills (to exchange with both technical & non-technical stakeholders / clients).
  • A collaborative mindset(capability to work as part of a team in a dynamic environment)


  • Fluent English language skills


Important: You must possess the authorisation to work in the relevant country (whether France / USA / Canada or the United Kingdom).


In exceptional circumstances / for exceptional candidates, we are equally open to the visa sponsorship as long as they meet the above criteria & are already in possession of their final diploma / attestation of their final academic results.

Rural-Remote AI Jobs: A Breath of Fresh Air in the UK Tech Scene

A New Horizon for AI Professionals For years, conversations around tech careers in the UK have hinged on a central theme: to succeed in artificial intelligence (AI), you must be in or around London (or other big metropolitan areas like Manchester, Bristol, or Edinburgh). But times are changing. Technological leaps and the rise of flexible working are paving the way for AI professionals to live and work well beyond the capital. From the rugged coastlines of Cornwall and Pembrokeshire to the rolling hills of the Yorkshire Dales, we’re witnessing an exciting trend of AI remote countryside roles that allow you to work at the forefront of tech innovation—all while enjoying the tranquillity of rural or seaside living. At ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, we’re seeing a marked increase in job postings and applications for these sorts of positions. A growing segment of job seekers is actively searching for “tech jobs by the sea” or “AI remote countryside,” driven by a desire for better work-life balance, lower living costs, and a healthier lifestyle. And it’s not just employees who stand to benefit; employers eager to attract top-tier AI talent are discovering that offering remote or flexible roles widens their candidate pool and enhances diversity. If you’re enticed by the idea of logging off from a day of coding neural networks and taking a stroll along a coastal path—or stepping outside your converted barn in Northumberland to soak in some fresh country air—this article is for you. Below, we’ll explore the benefits and challenges of rural-remote AI jobs, the specific roles best suited for remote work, and how to position yourself for success in this rapidly evolving sector.

When Qubits Fuel Neural Networks: The Emerging Frontier of Quantum-Enhanced AI

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has soared to unimaginable heights over the last few years, revolutionising sectors ranging from healthcare and finance to logistics and entertainment. But while deep learning models have grown more sophisticated and powerful, they remain tied to the limitations of classical computing systems. Enter quantum computing, a burgeoning field that leverages qubits—quantum bits—to achieve processing speeds that could leave even today’s most advanced supercomputers in the dust. What if we combined these two forces? Quantum-enhanced AI aims to integrate quantum hardware and algorithms into AI workflows, potentially unlocking efficiencies and capabilities that are currently out of reach. Although this domain is still in its infancy, experts predict it could reshape entire industries in the not-so-distant future. For professionals in AI, this is more than just an interesting development; it’s a pivotal shift that could spawn new roles, research areas, and opportunities. In this thought-leadership piece, we will: Outline the basics of quantum computing and why it matters to AI. Examine how quantum resources might supercharge neural networks. Highlight the career paths at the intersection of quantum and machine learning. Discuss the long-term outlook and what it means for AI professionals looking to stay ahead. Whether you’re already immersed in AI or just beginning to explore its potential, strap in—this new frontier promises a radical transformation.
