Survey Operations and Methods Manager

About Fraym

Fraym generates precise, localized data on demographics, attitudes, and behaviors, down to the town

or village level. Organizations worldwide use our geospatial data to understand social and economic

dynamics, design effective programs, and monitor investments across public health, economic

development, climate resilience, security, and humanitarian response. Through survey research,

geospatial analysis, and AI/ML, we are building scalable data infrastructure for mapping humanity.

The Role

The survey programs you manage will directly power AI/ML models that map demographic and

behavioral patterns across some of the world’s most data-scarce regions. We are looking for a Survey

Operations and Methods Manager to own the execution and continuous improvement of these complex

international survey programs. While primarily managing the full lifecycle of survey execution you will

also collaborate with Data Science to improve our training data. This role is ideal for someone who

enjoys solving operational challenges in globally diverse environments. As a member of a lean and

collaborative Product team, you will have significant ownership and visibility across Fraym’s

operations. This role reports to the VP of Product.

Growth and Trajectory

In Year 1, success means learning Fraym's workflows, building operational ownership over survey

programs, and delivering complex international surveys reliably at scale. By Years 2 and 3, the role

shifts toward designing better surveys, scaling quality assurance, and collaborating strategically with

Data Science on training data and methodologies. Longer term, this is not a coordinator position. As

Fraym scales its geospatial and AI/ML infrastructure, there is a clear path to senior individual

contributor or leadership. We are looking for someone who will grow with the company and own this

capability area. We value thoughtful decision-making, operational ownership, and continuous

improvement.

• Run QA/QC processes for survey data, reviewing for quality, consistency, and completeness.
• Use existing scripts, tools, and AI-assisted workflows to support quality assurance.
