## About this task

This payroll and HR services provider (11–50 employees) is looking for a manager Data Analyst for a single piece of work with a fixed scope and a fixed price. A specific business question answered with data and a short write-up.

It is a self-contained job: scope, checklist and price are agreed before you start. It works in staffing and HR technology, and the team is used to external specialists.

The work is fully remote. Any location in Canada works, with a few hours of overlap with the team's day. You choose your hours; nothing is scheduled except an occasional short call. About 2 hours a week should overlap with the team's day (PT).

## What you deliver

- Find out why trial-to-paid conversion fell in September: segment by channel and plan and write one page.

- A 20-minute walkthrough call, or a recorded screen share if you prefer

- A final note stating what was checked and what was left out of scope

- One round of edits after the company's review is included

## How the work runs

- Day 1: scope confirmed in writing, files shared

- Middle of the period: draft shared for early feedback

- Last day: final version and handover note

**Duration:** about 10 working days. Accepted on the company's written OK. If something is missed, you fix it in the same week at no extra charge to either side.

## Tools

SQL Excel Python

## Who fits

- 7-12 years of hands-on work as a Data Analyst, or the equivalent mix of roles

- Comfortable working in SQL, Excel and Python

- Your own work history stays private; the company sees a first name, your field and a rate

### Nice to have

- Used to short written handovers

- Comfortable explaining numbers or decisions to a non-specialist reader

## Not included

- Managing other contractors or employees

- Travel or work at a fixed location

- On-call availability outside the agreed window

## How you get paid

- The company prepays Deftridge before your first hour, so payment does not depend on a late invoice.

- Deftridge pays you in CAD after the company confirms the hours or the deliverable. The payment date is written in your task agreement.

- You work as an independent contractor: you report your own income, and your recruiter sends the statements your accountant needs.

- You never chase the company. Questions about money go to Deftridge.

## What happens after you say you're interested
