Data Science Manager

New York, United States | Tech Development

Not your everyday company

Lemonade completely reinvented how insurance works. As a customer-centric tech company, we created an insurance experience that is smart, instant, and delightful.

At Lemonade, you’ll be working with a group of like-minded makers, who get a kick out of moving fast and delivering great products. We surround ourselves with some of the smartest, most motivated, creative people who are filled with positive energy and good karma.

Unlike most publicly traded companies, we’re nimble and efficient. We take pride in the fact that we still think and operate like a startup. We don’t care much about titles and hierarchy and instead focus on innovation, bold moves, and challenging the status quo.

We’re built as a lean, data-driven organization that relies on a common understating of objectives and goals to provide teams with autonomy and ownership. We don’t like spending our days in meetings and we skip committees altogether. At Lemonade, there’s no such thing as going over someone’s head. We have zero tolerance for bureaucracy, office politics, and lean-back personalities.

As a Public Benefit Corporation and a certified B-Corp, we deliver environmental and social impact using our products and tech. Through our Giveback program, we partner with organizations such as the ACLU, New Story, The Humane Society, Malala Fund, American Red Cross, 360.org, charity: water, and dozens of others, and have donated millions towards reforestation, education, animal rights, LGBTQ+ causes, access to water, and more.

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

Please note that we are unable to sponsor applicants for work visas.

Unfortunately, we cannot consider applicants from these states: Alaska, California, Colorado, Montana, Hawaii, New Mexico and Puerto Rico.

Lemonade's US base salary range for this full-time position is $210,000 - $230,000 plus equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Speak to your recruiter to hear more about the specific salary range for your preferred location.
