Dotsure Statistical Modeller

Are you passionate about data, analytics, and transforming how risk is understood in the insurance world? Do you thrive at the intersection of statistics, technology, and real-world decision-making?

At Dotsure, we’re using cutting-edge telematics data to reshape how we evaluate driving behaviour and risk. We’re looking for a forward-thinking Statistical Modeller to join our dynamic, data-led team and help us push the boundaries of smart insurance.

What You’ll Do

As a Statistical Modeller at Dotsure, you’ll play a pivotal role in designing predictive tools and data-driven frameworks that inform key business decisions. You’ll work with telematics and insurance datasets to reveal meaningful trends, build robust models, and contribute directly to pricing, product design, and risk assessment strategies.

Your key responsibilities:

• Develop and enhance telematics-based scoring models to evaluate driver behaviour and risk profiles.
• Conduct deep statistical analysis on large insurance and telematics datasets to identify trends and risk signals.
• Build predictive models for pricing, claims forecasting and behavioural insights.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure model outputs drive effective product and business strategies.
• Improve driver risk indicators (e.g. claim probabilities, first notice of loss accuracy, behavioural flags).
• Present complex analyses and modelling results in a clear and compelling way to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

What we’re looking for
Education and experience:

• Bachelor’s or Honours degree in Actuarial Science, Statistics, Data Science or related quantitative field.
• 2–4 years of experience in statistical modelling, actuarial analytics or insurance data.
• Previous work in motor insurance or telematics-driven roles is a strong advantage.

Technical and analytical skills:

• Advanced knowledge of statistical modelling techniques (e.g. GLMs, correlation studies, distribution analysis).
• Proficiency in Excel, R, SAS or similar actuarial/statistical tools.
• Experience working with SQL and large-scale datasets.
• Python skills are a bonus but not required.

Soft skills:

• Strong analytical thinker with a solid grasp of behavioural data and risk modelling.
• Excellent communicator—able to explain complex insights with clarity and precision.
• Self-driven, collaborative and thrives in a fast-paced, high-impact environment.
