About the company: Alpha Direct is an exciting and vibrant young company, operating in the insurance and insuretech space in Africa. Located at the Botswana Innovation Hub (dubbed the "Silicon Valley of Africa") in Gaborone, we are a young and energetic team of insurance professionals looking to transform Africa through innovation.
Project Description: Alpha Direct seeks an intern to work within the company's data analytics team on the completion of a project dubbed internally as ''Project X,'' started by the analytics team over a year ago. The idea is to look at the company's historical information on claims, and determine what correlations exist, if any, between various factors from unstructured data such as police reports, witness statements, etc. The project then entails taking this data and any correlations contained therein and utilizing the findings in the company's underwriting model. Along the way, we would also appreciate recommendations for improvements in the collection of data (both quantity and quality) at the time of a claim. Building our data analytics capabilities is a key pillar of our company's transformation strategy, and Project X is the first step that our analytics team is taking in this regard. Join us as we build some of the most innovative and financially inclusive insurance products in Africa and experience beautiful Botswana while having fun.
