Risk Analytics Operations Lead (Remote)

Events in recent years have made us all too familiar with the havoc that natural disasters can wreak, and the increasing frequency and intensity with which they are occurring. Despite record levels of losses, conventional methods of risk modeling continue to paint at best an incomplete picture of these threats.

ZestyAI ingests novel data sources such as high-resolution aerial imagery, building permits, real estate transaction data etc., and leverages Artificial Intelligence (AI) to produce unique insights about risks to properties and communities from natural catastrophes like wildfire and severe convective storms. ZestyAI provides customers in insurance, real estate, financial services and government sectors valuable intelligence that helps communities better prepare for and navigate catastrophes.
