Overview

Etsy needs an analytics partner for its Fulfillment Machine Learning, Product, and Operations teams, a group that currently runs with two full-time staff and one contractor. Your work centers on delivery performance: judging how well the ML models predict and deliver, tracing the buyer's path from order to doorstep, and measuring what experiments actually change for buyers and sellers. Most of the day happens in Google BigQuery, where you query and shape large datasets, and in Looker, where you publish the dashboards leadership reads. Expect close contact with ML engineers and product managers, and expect your findings to steer the roadmap rather than sit in a slide deck.

What You'll Do7

Partner with ML engineers, operations leads, and product managers to spot places where delivery models can improve and to size the impact of proposed features.
Run randomized A/B tests and offline causal analysis that show how changes affect buyer and seller lifetime value.
Write and maintain SQL rollups and aggregations in BigQuery so reporting teams work from dependable, well-documented sources.
Build and own interactive Looker dashboards covering on-time delivery, fulfillment friction, resolution rates, and other core performance indicators.
Field ad-hoc questions from stakeholders by pulling, modeling, and interpreting large datasets on short timelines.
Turn model behavior and statistical results into recommendations that non-technical partners can act on.
Support strategic planning by supplying the metrics and analysis that shape the fulfillment roadmap.

Requirements4

Solid grounding in experimental design, A/B testing, and hypothesis-driven statistical analysis.
Hands-on record of shipping production dashboards and data models in Looker or a comparable BI tool such as Tableau.
Advanced SQL skills applied to cloud data warehouses, ideally Google BigQuery.
Ability to explain statistical and model results to audiences without a technical background.

Preferred Qualifications5

Prior analysis of logistics, supply chain, carrier performance, order resolution, or fulfillment incident metrics.
Experience inside a two-sided marketplace.
Causal inference or analytical modeling work such as regression, clustering, random forest, or propensity score matching.
Comfort with clickstream data covering visits and events.
Regular use of AI coding assistants such as Claude or Cursor.

Who Should Apply

Data scientists with strong SQL and Looker skills who enjoy experimentation and want their analysis to shape a live fulfillment operation. Marketplace or logistics background helps, though the core requirement is rigorous statistical thinking plus the ability to publish trustworthy dashboards.

Salary Insight

This freelance engagement pays $80 to $86 per hour. That range sits in line with senior analytics contractor rates in the New York market, and the posting notes the contract may extend based on team needs, budget, and performance.
