Senior Data Analyst

About Fraym
Fraym generates precise data about what people look like, what they think, and how they behave at any geographic level, including down to the town or village level. Organizations around the world use our location-based data to understand social and economic dynamics, design comprehensive programs, and monitor and evaluate investments that national statistics and polling data cannot reveal. Fraym has developed replicable and highly scalable methods for producing actionable and comparable data across any geography of interest. Driven by our work with partners like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, World Bank, African Development Bank, UNDP, and other global institutions, we now produce and deliver critical novel datasets for key policy and advocacy issues. These span categories such as equitable COVID-19 vaccine allocation, inclusive renewable energy access, inclusive economic recovery, and combating misinformation.
