THE PROJECT
The University of Essex in partnership with Strike offers an exciting opportunity to a graduate with the relevant skills and knowledge to build machine-learning models that help proactively find opportunities for personalisation and improvements to the customer experience.
We are currently exploring how we can use predictive analytics to determine the likelihood that a property may sell (and how fast) at specific pricing points. There are a multitude of factors at play - market conditions, the popularity of the property, the condition and hyper location of the property, the pricing of comparable nearby properties, the images on the property, and how the property is promoted, to name but a few.
You will be sourcing and utilising data from disparate sources and applying machine-learning technologies in order to recommend actions to customers based on predicted outcomes.
This post is fixed term for 30 months and is based at Strike’s offices in Colchester.
