FREELANCE Digital Analytics Coordinator

Freelance Digital Analytics Coordinator

VISION

Schaefer Advertising Co. is seeking a data-driven Analytics Coordinator to join our team.  As part of the Digital team, this person will work under the Digital Supervisor and in collaboration with the full digital team to bring client reports to life across Schaefer’s three key verticals— Healthcare, Real Estate, and Attractions, Tourism & The Arts.

The Digital Analytics Coordinator is responsible for managing key aspects of Schaefer’s analytics process, including monthly reporting calendar management, data aggregation, dashboard development, and report visualization. This role requires close collaboration with the media and CRM teams to ensure all campaign data is accurately collected and reported within the designated timeframe. The ideal candidate must be highly detail-oriented and possess a strong sense of urgency to meet reporting deadlines consistently.

This role requires a strong working knowledge of Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and Looker Studio (Google Data Studio) to independently build, customize, and manage reports that provide insights into marketing campaign performance. The Digital Analytics Coordinator will consolidate and analyze data from paid search, social, publication media, email, and CRM sources to uncover trends and deliver actionable recommendations.

A foundational understanding of Google Tag Manager (GTM) is also required to assess tracking needs and make informed recommendations. While the coordinator will collaborate with the Web Development/Tracking team for implementation, they will have opportunities to further develop their expertise in GTM.

As a key player in campaign performance reporting, cross-team collaboration, and data-driven decision-making, the Digital Analytics Coordinator supports the agency’s long-term growth in analytics, paid media management, and CRM.
