About Digital Divide Data (DDD)

Digital Divide Data (DDD) is a US-based non-profit, mission-driven enterprise with the goal of using technology and digital skills to bridge the divide between economically and socially marginalized youth and employment opportunities that lead to a sustainable and viable future. DDD identifies talented but underserved youth in Africa and Asia (Kenya, Cambodia, and Laos are the main centers) to enter formal employment, undergo professional training and skills development, and pursue tertiary education. Our headquarters are in New York, and we have over 1,500 employees across our operations in Kenya, Cambodia, and Laos.

Purpose of the role

DDD has a client that works in the global legal and regulatory space. We are looking to build a team to analyze and improve the way documents are assigned tags by the client’s Natural Language Processor (NLP). The role will help the team identify the way new concepts should be modeled to achieve accurate classification by the NLP. The analyst will identify opportunities to enhance the model by identifying new terms that do not fit neatly into the currently defined categories.

The Senior Data Analyst will be responsible for reviewing documents and finding examples of regulations, standards or fines, which do not easily fit into our client’s existing model. From there, they will work with a team of specialists to adjust the model, test the results and validate conclusions. The role requires close attention to detail, the ability to think critically about conceptual relationships, and strong language skills.

Essential Job Duties/Responsibilities:

• Parsing documents to find exceptions to the current ways that we tag them
• Modeling new terms into an existing model (ontology)
• Capturing and solving for exceptions
• Communicating updates to the model via the modeling software
• Working with the client to keep them updated on progress vs. requirements

• Bachelor’s degree - Business, MIS, Actuarial / Math, or pre-law.
• Possible experience as paralegals, government, business analysts, or actuaries.
• 2+ Years of professional experience.
• Technical literacy - i.e. MSFT office (Digital fluent).
• Excellent English language skills.
