## About this task

This retail chain selling furniture (201–500 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.

A fresh pair of experienced eyes is needed, and the result is a document or file the team can use straight away. It is a retailer with stores and an online channel, and the team works to a weekly trading rhythm.

The work is fully remote, but the company can only contract people who live in Illinois, so this one is for residents there. Evenings or weekends are fine, as long as the agreed weekly output is there. About 1 hour a week should overlap with the team's day (CT).

## 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

- The finished deliverable in the agreed file format, with sources and assumptions listed

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

## How the work runs

- Day 1: kickoff call and access to the files

- Days 2 to 5: the work, with questions answered the same day

- Last day: delivery and a short walkthrough

**Duration:** 1 to 2 weeks. Accepted when the output matches the agreed checklist and the sample check passes; the recruiter confirms by e-mail.

## 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

- A habit of asking one clarifying question early rather than five late

## Not included

- On-call availability outside the agreed window

- Anything that needs a signature in your own name unless the brief says so

- Work outside the scope written in the brief; extra items are quoted separately

## 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 USD 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

1. **Within one working day** A recruiter writes to you to confirm your hours and the rate you want.

1. **You agree the rate** You and the recruiter fix an exact rate inside the company's range. You decide whether to go ahead.
