Job description

When a company's tracking breaks, are you the person everyone calls? We are headhunting a Analytics Technical Specialist in Cape Town. This isn't a role where you pull reports, build dashboards and call it a day. You'll be taking ownership of technical analytics implementations from start to finish; finding what's broken, fixing it, building measurement frameworks and making sure clients can actually trust the data they're making decisions on.

Think:

• Google Analytics 4 (GA4) & Google Tag Manager (GTM); implementation, audits and troubleshooting
• Google, Meta and third-party tracking tags
• dataLayer implementation, debugging and QA
• Custom JavaScript & HTML
• OneTrust, Didomi and other consent management platforms

The sweet spot is someone with 3+ years of hands-on technical analytics experience who can independently lead implementations, solve complex tracking problems and confidently explain the why behind their solutions.

Cape Town Remote Freelance/contract opportunity

If you've ever inherited a messy tracking setup and turned it into something a business can genuinely rely on, we want to hear from you.

Salt is acting as an Employment Business in relation to this vacancy.
