Statistician

Insureware

Insureware is a growing company with an impressive client list that spans the globe. We are looking for an energetic person to join our world-class team of statisticians. You will be providing support to our global client base, which may involve some international travel.

We develop sophisticated and innovative statistical software packages used in general insurance. Internal research and development and response to client needs drive the continual evolution of our products. Your mature statistical skills will allow you to take part in these developments, helping the team of statisticians/developers in understanding the problems faced by our clients and designing creative and original solutions to those problems.

Your skills in technical documentation, user requirements design and software testing, together with the ability to explain complicated statistical concepts in layman's terms, will help make our software even better and keep our customers satisfied. An increasing part of our business is now consultancy. Your involvement would be as part of a team importing, analysing and reporting on client data.

Compensation: TBA + negotiable depending on experience and qualifications.

Note that you must be already authorized to work in Australia.

You must have an M.Sc or Ph.D with a strong component of applied statistics, particularly statistical computing, and a top class academic record. Very good knowledge of Microsoft Excel is required and programming experience with Visual Basic for Excel is highly desirable. We expect you to have excellent verbal and written communication skills, meticulous attention to detail and considerable experience using packages like R, S-Plus, Matlab or SAS. You will have frequently used normal-based regressions, GLMs and time series modelling, both Box Jenkins and structural modelling. Knowledge of Kalman Filter type algorithms or a background in general insurance will be an advantage.

There will be opportunities to grow with the company as we expand into new areas.
