Role Overview

We are looking for a reliable Freelance Data Analyst to take ownership of our reporting landscape. This is a part-time engagement (roughly 20 hours per week) focused on the delivery of approximately 60 key reports.

You will be working on reports across player activity, marketing funnels, payments, retention/churn, and regulatory compliance. The ideal candidate is someone who can balance high-level data architecture with the hands-on execution of recurring reports.

Key Responsibilities

• Report Management: Take end-to-end ownership of ~60 recurring reports, from data ingestion and transformation to final delivery and maintenance.
• Pipeline Development: Build and maintain production-grade data pipelines and ETL workflows using SQL to ingest data from gaming platforms, CRM systems, and external providers.
• Automation: Automate reporting workflows using SQL, schedulers, and APIs to minimize manual effort and ensure timely delivery.
• Regulatory Compliance: Own regulatory reporting pipelines for Ontario (iGO) and other jurisdictions, ensuring audit readiness and clear data lineage.
• Data Modeling: Develop analytics-ready datasets (facts, dimensions, aggregates) that serve as the "single source of truth."
• Cross-Functional Support: Partner with Marketing, Product, and Finance to translate business questions into scalable data models.
• Quality Assurance: Implement validation checks and reconciliations to ensure 100% data accuracy across all financial and operational reports.

Requirements

• Experience: 4+ years in data analytics, analytics engineering, or data engineering with a focus on production data pipelines.
• Python Proficiency: Strong ability to build ETL/ELT jobs and automation scripts.
• Advanced SQL: Expert-level skills in designing queries for performance and correctness.
• Technical Literacy: Familiarity with version control (Git) and data modeling principles.
• Communication: Ability to translate complex data into clear insights for non-technical stakeholders.
• Availability: Consistency is key. You must be able to commit to approximately 20 hours per week on an ongoing basis.

Nice-to-Have

• Prior experience in iGaming, sportsbook, fintech, or high-volume payment environments.
• Experience with iGO (Ontario) regulatory reporting requirements.
• Marketing analytics experience (attribution modeling, conversion funnels).

Project Details

• Engagement: Ongoing freelance contract.
• Workload: Approximately 20 hours per week.
• Rate: $40-50 an hour
• Note: While remote, we have a preference for candidates based in Canada to align with our licensing and time zones.
