Descrição da vaga
Senior Data Analyst — Contract (Remote, Brazil)
Santiago Consult is a UK-based data and AI consultancy. We build data platforms, pipelines and AI systems for ecommerce, marketplace and commerce businesses — and we're expanding our delivery capability in Brazil.
We're building a network of senior contract data analysts we can bring onto client projects as they start. This is a talent pool ahead of upcoming engagements, so we want to talk to strong people now even if a project isn't live on day one.
The work
This isn't a reporting role. Our clients come to us because they have data they aren't using and decisions they can't answer. You'd be working directly with the founder on client delivery — turning messy commercial data into something the business actually acts on.
Typical engagements involve:
Analysing customer, order, inventory and marketplace data to find what's actually driving performanceBuilding models in dbt on top of BigQuery or SnowflakeDesigning dashboards that get used, not dashboards that get built and forgottenCohort, retention, LTV and churn analysisPricing, stock-age and demand analysisDefining metrics properly — and making sure they mean the same thing everywherePresenting findings to client stakeholders clearly, including people who aren't technical
What we're looking for
Strong SQL. Genuinely strong — window functions, complex joins, performance awarenessReal analytical judgement: knowing which question matters, not just answering the one you were askedExperience with BigQuery or Snowflake in productiondbt experience, or a solid grasp of analytics engineering practiceA BI tool in anger — Looker, Power BI, Tableau, Metabase or similarComfortable working in English with UK-based clients, including client-facing conversationsAble to explain a finding to a non-technical stakeholder without dumbing it down
