Digital CIP - User Researcher - Flocking New Work
Job Description:
What is the Customer Insight Platform (CIP)?
CIP is composed of multiple cross-functional teams who use a variety of agile and lean practices. Together, they provide services that collect, evaluate, and support the analysis of customer interaction data.
Within CIP a new workstream is being formed to deliver a new requirement called internally as Flocking - Title is Adaptive Detection System for Counter Fraud.
Flocking - requirement is a production, in-service capability that moves fraud detection from reactive, rules-based flagging of individual records to proactive, automated discovery of organised fraud networks.
The target capability would process data at production scale, resolve the entities and relationships within it, and surface cross-regime and cross-provider fraud patterns (for example flocking between banks and EMIs, and shared bank accounts, devices, credentials and addresses across VAT, Self-Assessment and PAYE) that are invisible to traditional tabular analysis, giving investigators the tooling to explore and act on them in hours rather than days or weeks.
Initial piece of work is to lead the Discovery and Alpha phase and then support planning, pricing to build a SoW for Build to Go live.
Team description
This role is responsible for the vision, definition and quality of complex, business critical products and services, for the CIP team.
Role description
CIP user researchers plan, design and carry out research activities with over 2000 internal users that help us gain a deep understanding of the people that use CIP’s data services.
