Job Description

Who are we?
We call ourselves Allstate Marketings Strategic Analytics team. Think exploratory, predictive, and causal. We are all things marketing analytics.

We are on a journey to build out the best-in-class team and are looking for enthusiastic, driven professionals. We hire people with passion, who love what they do not skill sets. So, heres a litmus test:

  • Are you picky about pulling your own data and applying an analytic layer on the data for answering a business question?
  • Does the thought of working hands-on with industry leading digital data sets excite you (think Google, Facebook, marketing attribution)?
  • Do you have a very specific POV on the best approach for conducting an experiment, creating a predictive model, or performing an unsupervised clustering analysis in tools like R and Python?
  • Have you helped junior data scientists, with freshly obtained Masters degrees in hand, apply their newfound skills to create real world business solutions?

If you answered Yes to 3 of the 4 questions above you are likely an ideal candidate to join the Strategic Analytics team at Allstate, and we look forward to meeting you! (Additional points if you like batman more than superman!).

  • You are consumer-obsessed, leading your team to create deep insights that translate into actionable strategies that aim to deliver the right message to our target audience, in the right place, at the right time.
  • You will lead the development and creation of consumer segmentation clustering analyses, propensity models, churn models, customer lifetime value models, etc.
  • You will work with the team to turn complex analyses into compelling, simple stories that inspire action with meaningful impact.
  • You will remove data barriers by leveraging our Data Engineering team and/or enabling the team to build datasets on-demand by directly querying, cleaning, transforming, and staging data for modeling needs.
  • As you become an expert in Allstates business needs, you will proactively identify business problems and improvement opportunities, where new analytical solutions can positively impact the bottom line through customer growth or operational efficiency.
  • You will be supported by a project manager, working in an Agile environment to break down projects into meaningful steps, ensuring progress is continually made and deadlines are met.
