What you're applying for

We're looking for an AI Data Science Manager to help lead the future of machine learning-driven pricing at Lemonade. You'll sit within our Data Science team, owning the direction of a group of talented data scientists while pushing the technical boundaries of how we build, ship, and scale ML solutions that directly shape our products.

We believe three things matter for every role at Lemonade: drive to push through challenges, efficiency that keeps standards high while moving fast, and adaptability that lets you pivot with data and AI insights. These aren't buzzwords, they're how we actually work.

Our AI-first approach isn't just a tagline either. We're building the future of insurance with AI at the center, and we need people who are genuinely excited to learn and grow alongside these tools.

In this role you'll

• Lead a team of data scientists, setting technical direction and helping each person grow in their craft

• Own projects end-to-end, from framing the business question all the way through to production

• Build and ship machine learning and deep learning models that directly influence pricing decisions

• Partner with product managers and translate complex findings into clear, compelling narratives for internal stakeholders

• Champion AI adoption across the business, inspiring teams to think differently about how data science can solve real problems

• Contribute to the continued evolution of our ML infrastructure, tools, and best practices

What you'll need

• 1-3 years of experience leading an R&D or Data Science team

• 3+ years working as a data scientist, ideally at a startup or fintech company

• A Master's degree or higher in Statistics, Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field

• Fluency in Python and/or R

• Solid understanding of both relational and NoSQL databases

• A track record of delivering high-scale, production-grade projects

• Experience building insurance pricing models is a strong plus

• Ready to work in an office environment most days of the week
