This will lead to improved customer experiences and Suncorp becoming a more efficient and agile organisation. Therefore, we are looking for great people with the right skills, high energy and innovative mindset to help us in this mission.

    You will have access to market leading AI and GenAI tools and models and Suncorp's extensive data assets. You will work with business leaders in a collaborative way to develop these solutions.

Additionally, the role carries significant accountability in championing best practice methodologies within the Data Science & AI community, acting as a recognized thought leader, and effectively communicating with key stakeholders to drive impactful outcomes.

    Suncorp places great importance on leveraging its data to enhance business performance, with the Data Science & AI Centre of Excellence dedicated to optimizing the value that our Group extracts from its investment in data and AI. This involves fostering robust business relationships, offering strategic counsel, and championing the development of Data Science & AI initiatives, both those we build internally and through external collaborations.

    What you'll do

  • Delivery of high-impact Data Science & AI Initiatives, including Generative AI models and Intelligent Process Automation for improved business processes like customer service, claims processing, sales processes, risk and cost base optimization.
  • Bringing in cutting-edge external Data Science and AI concepts, effective communication across technical and executive audiences, and active participation in industry forums.
  • Solving business problems through innovative technical solutions, collaborating with senior stakeholders, and ensuring deployment and scalability of solutions.
  • Building strong relationships with senior stakeholders, showcasing value through presentations and prototypes, and illustrating potential impact across the organization.
  • Providing insight into emerging AI trends, offering counsel to the Data Science technical job family, and contributing to the Group's Data Science strategy.
  • Cultivating a significant industry network, engaging in relevant industry forums, and contributing to the broader Data Science community.
  • Measuring success through tangible improvements such as revenue increase, cost reduction, enhanced customer satisfaction, and decreased complaints, while fostering excellence across all initiatives.
  • What you'll bring

  • 5+ years of experience in Data Science, AI, or closely related disciplines, demonstrating practical expertise and proficiency in the field.
  • Bachelor's Degree in a technical field (data science, machine learning, statistics, actuarial, engineering, mathematics, etc.) (mandatory).
  • A practical focus on using your technical skills to generate tangible business value.
  • A can-do attitude to 'getting things done' that deliver value. A proactive mindset that takes the initiative to move things forward.
  • Experience in developing and implementing Data Science pipelines involving Machine Learning algorithms is mandatory, with experience working on Databricks being highly valued.
  • Knowledge of Generative AI and experience in developing proof-of-concepts or building prototypes using GenAI is desirable
  • Proficiency in Python programming and expertise in developing ML models and/or pipelines are mandatory requirements.
  • Thorough understanding of Machine Learning algorithms and deep neural networks is mandatory.
  • Proven track record of successfully productionizing Data Science solutions and familiarity with advanced tools and technologies such as Databricks and Generative AI.
