Remote Data Analyst jobs

24 open positions in the United States, newest first.

Data analysts answer business questions with data. They pull and clean data, analyze it, and present what it means to the people making a decision, whether that is a product manager, a marketing lead or an operations team. The output is a recommendation, dashboard or report, not production software.

About the Data Analyst role

What the work looks like

  • Write SQL queries against the data warehouse to answer specific questions from business stakeholders.
  • Build and maintain dashboards in Tableau, Looker or Power BI that teams use to track their metrics.
  • Analyze A/B test results and explain whether a change made a measurable difference.
  • Investigate why a metric moved, checking the quality of the underlying data before drawing conclusions.
  • Present findings in a short written summary or slide deck that ends in a clear recommendation.

What employers ask for

  • SQL for querying large datasets
  • Advanced Excel or Google Sheets
  • Tableau, Looker or Power BI
  • Statistics fundamentals and experiment analysis
  • Python or R for analysis
  • Explaining findings to non-technical audiences

Doing this job remotely

Queries, dashboards and written analyses are easy to produce and share from anywhere, and many data analyst roles are remote. The difficulty is context: good analysis depends on knowing what the business is deciding, so remote analysts need regular contact with their stakeholders. Roles handling health or financial data may carry device and location restrictions.

Where it comes from and where it leads

Analysts come from degrees in quantitative or business fields, from bootcamps, or from operations and finance jobs where they became the spreadsheet expert. Next steps include senior analyst, analytics engineering, data science, product management or analytics management.
