Root Company Presentation - Telematics and Actuarial Sciences

Root is a car insurance company founded on the belief that people who drive well are less likely to get into accidents, and that those people should pay less for insurance. With that in mind, Root set out to reinvent a broken industry — an industry that was still assigning rates based primarily on demographics and had an archaic agent structure.

Our telematics data has opened the door to new ways of auto pricing; new data everywhere, new analytical approaches, and the massive computational power to finally put the two together. We have logged billions of miles and our datasets are growing at an exponential rate; computational and statistical challenges abound. We’re looking for actuaries that are ready to toss their templates aside, roll up their sleeves, and get their hands dirty building better models and analytics from the ground up.

Join Bryan Croft, Root's Candidate Experience Manager for Actuarial and Data Science; Ryan Voyack, Actuarial Analyst; and Moriah Librun-Sawyer, Pricing Actuarial Analyst to learn more about how telematics is used in pricing, as well as upcoming opportunities with Root's Actuarial team.
