Hire a Remote
Reporting & Analytics Specialist
An embedded analytics operator who configures tracking, builds cross-channel dashboards, and writes the analysis your agency and clients actually use, so reporting stops being a senior-team time sink.
Role Scope
What this operator does and doesn't do
Clear boundaries keep operators effective and protect your agency from scope creep.
Responsibilities
- Configure GA4 properly, events, conversions, audiences (not just defaults)
- Build cross-channel dashboards in Looker Studio blending ads, email, ecommerce, and CRM data
- Set up conversion tracking: GA4 events, Meta Pixel, Google Ads conversion actions, Tag Manager basics
- Maintain UTM discipline and document naming conventions across client accounts
- Pull and structure weekly/monthly KPI reports with written analysis, not just numbers
- Diagnose attribution discrepancies between platform-reported and actual revenue
- Maintain KPI hierarchies and dashboard structures the team can trust over time
Not responsible for
- SQL queries, Python, or data warehousing (handled by Data Scientist, Beam doesn't place this role)
- Optimizing inside ad platforms (handled by Paid Media Specialist)
- Strategic decisions or fractional CMO-level recommendations
- Building custom analytics infrastructure or backend data pipelines
- Acting as the agency's single source of truth on attribution strategy

Is this the right fit?
This role is perfect for
Agencies with multi-channel paid spend across multiple clients
When ad spend lives across Meta, Google, TikTok, and email, and leadership pulls data from five sources into a spreadsheet every week, a dedicated reporting operator solves that.
Ecommerce or attribution-heavy clients
If your clients run attribution-sensitive operations, DTC ecommerce, lead-gen with long sales cycles, subscription with cohort tracking, you need real GA4 and Triple Whale depth, not a generalist.
Teams where senior staff spend hours pulling data into reports
Senior agency time on reporting is senior agency time off strategy. This role builds the dashboards and writes the analysis, so leadership reviews findings instead of producing them.

The Beam team was always responsive and provided their services at a fraction of the cost of hiring full-time employees. The work was of the highest quality, reflecting their skill and dedication.

FAQs
FAQs on hiring an Reporting & Analytics Specialist
How fast can I get started?
Most operators are matched and introduced within days of scoping. From there, your operator learns your tools and gets to work, most clients see meaningful production in the first two weeks.
What if the operator isn't the right fit?
We replace them. Within 30 days of your request, we place a new operator into the role, and in most cases, within two weeks. Your first replacement is free; after that, a $500 re-onboarding fee applies.
Do I need to onboard them?
Operators start agency-trained. You'll provide context on your systems and SOPs, Beam handles the contractor relationship, training, and ongoing support.
Is this a data scientist or a reporting operator?
A reporting operator. Beam Reporting & Analytics Specialists work in platform reporting, dashboards (Looker Studio, Triple Whale), and attribution tools, they configure GA4 properly, blend data across ad platforms and CRMs, and turn raw numbers into written analysis. They don't write SQL queries against a warehouse, build ML models, or set up custom backend data pipelines. If you need data science work, that's a different role Beam doesn't currently place. If you need real, agency-grade reporting that doesn't require a senior strategist to produce, this is the role.
