POSITION OVERVIEW
The Senior Director of Data Science leads the technical vision, strategy, and
execution for AI capabilities that power Asurion’s next-generation customer
experience. Leading a team of approximately 20 highly skilled data scientists and machine learning practitioners, this leader provides deep technical direction

The role partners with Product and Engineering to deliver production AI systems while establishing best practices for AI evaluation, LLMOps, governance, and responsible AI. Success is measured by customer outcomes, agent productivity, sales enablement, operational efficiency, and the long-term technical health of the AI platform.

LLMOps, Responsible AI, and continuous experimentation.
• Continuously evaluate emerging AI research, vendors, and platforms to ensure
Asurion adopts scalable technologies and avoids dead-end architectures.
