Milliman is among the world’s largest providers of advanced analytics and financial risk management related products and services. Founded in 1947, Milliman is an independent firm with offices in major cities around the globe.

The culture within Milliman can be described as knowledge and result driven. We are continuously looking for new challenges in various quantitative fields. One day you might be assisting our clients developing a new predictive model or performing an NLP project, the next day you might advise one of our clients on implementing a new risk model.

As a Data Scientist & Engineering Consultant at Milliman you’ll be helping our clients make the most of their available data. Some of the projects we’ve done in the past include anomaly detection on large scale Point-of-Sale data, building and improving data (quality) pipelines and improving the underwriting processes of insurers through image recognition. Most of our projects are “hands-on” and executed as a Milliman team, however you may also be called upon to take up a more advising role or to support a team at a client directly.
