About Briter

Briter is on a mission to build the go-to point of reference for emerging markets’ data. More and clearer data have the potential to boost business, creativity, and investment activity, and Briter has been relentlessly working alongside several public and private stakeholders to create an accessible portal to knowledge about underserved markets. Briter began as a digital publication in late 2018 and quickly converted into a data-driven research firm focused on analysing business environments across underserved markets. Over the past 5 years, Briter has released the largest collection of visualisations focused on technology ecosystems across Africa, South Asia and MENA and its research has grown to become a point of reference for major corporates, international organisations, governmental institutions, and investors. Our work is regularly featured in major media outlets such as TechCrunch, Forbes, Quartz, CNBC, CNN, Bloomberg, and several major regional magazines. We are now looking to expand our team and add a Data Analyst to the family to support our research by providing background data collection and operational support. The candidate will report directly to the Insights Lead and Director of Research and will be working alongside other Data and Research Analysts.
