Mixpanel Analytics Engineer (Part-Time 1099 Contract)

 What you'll do:

• Work directly with startup clients as their go-to analytics partner, joining a small weekly client meeting window and staying responsive in Slack the rest of the week
• Build and maintain activation, onboarding, and feature adoption funnels, plus cohort retention and trial-to-paid conversion tracking
• Design PQL scoring models and monitor churn, expansion, and net revenue retention
• Own event taxonomy and tracking plans across Mixpanel, PostHog, or Amplitude
• Build multi-touch attribution and channel-level CAC and LTV reporting to connect marketing spend to results
• Track funnel conversion from first touch through activation, tying usage data back to pipeline and revenue
• Write SQL against Postgres to validate data, fix tracking gaps, and build reusable dashboards clients trust

 

What we're looking for:

• Comfortable owning a client relationship solo, including exec-level conversations, without a lot of oversight
• Hands on production experience with Mixpanel, PostHog, or Amplitude, ideally more than one
• Strong SQL and Postgres skills for querying, validating, and modeling data
• Real understanding of SaaS growth metrics: PQLs, activation, churn, NRR, CAC, LTV
• A track record of turning ambiguous client asks into clean tracking plans and measurement frameworks
• Comfortable with startup pace and some ambiguity, since client priorities can shift week to week
• Reliable follow through on a flexible, part-time schedule with fast Slack turnaround

 

Bonus points: multi-touch attribution tooling, dbt or a modern data stack, prior agency or consultancy experience, and interest in growing this into a bigger role as the client base scales.
