Expertise and people
Proven expertise for all your data needs.
A lead for your platform, analytics engineers inside your team, or your analytics run end to end. Senior people, chosen and managed by us: you agree the outcome, and we pick the people, manage them and cover them.
Lead or architect roles
A senior lead for your data platform.
Your team has the people but not the senior direction. We provide the lead: someone who sets the architecture, keeps standards high and makes the calls the team is waiting on.
The work
- Set the architecture and the standards the team builds to
- Review designs and code, and unblock engineers when they’re stuck
- Turn what the business wants into a roadmap the team can deliver
- Speak for data in stakeholder and leadership meetings
A good fit when
You have a data team, but nobody senior is setting its direction, or your lead has moved on and the work has stalled.
Analytics engineers
More capacity inside your team.
Analytics engineers who work in your tools, your backlog and your team’s routines. You agree the outcomes with us; we pick the right people for the work and manage them.
The work
- Build and test data models, from source to business-ready tables
- Keep semantic models and reports in step with the business
- Work from your backlog, to your team’s ways of working
- Steady, ongoing capacity, with the same people wherever we can
- Leave documentation behind, so the work outlasts the engagement
A good fit when
Your team knows what to build but can’t get through the backlog, and hiring takes longer than the work can wait.
Fully outsourced analytics
Your analytics, run for you.
We run the whole function: data engineering, modelling and reporting, against outcomes we agree with you. One senior lead is your point of contact, and we size the team to the work.
The work
- Keep pipelines, models and reports running and trusted
- Deliver new reporting and analysis from a prioritised backlog
- One point of contact who answers for the whole service
- Regular reviews of what was delivered and what comes next
A good fit when
You have a platform but no proper data team, or the one you have is stretched thin: knowledge held by one or two people, gaps when they move on, or work that never lands.
Our people, our responsibility
You get the outcome. The people are our job.
This is a consultancy service, not recruitment. We stay responsible for who does the work and how well it’s done, for as long as the engagement runs.
We choose the people
We match people to the work you need done: the right seniority, skills and platform experience.
We manage them
They work to our standards and answer to our senior lead. Quality and delivery are our responsibility.
Cover is built in
Holidays and sickness don’t stop the work. We arrange cover, so it carries on.
We replace them if needed
If someone isn’t the right fit, or moves on, we bring in someone else and handle the handover at our cost.
Consultancy or contractor
Two ways to get data people.
Both work. A contractor gives you a skilled person to direct. We give you an outcome, and take on the people side ourselves. Here’s how they differ.
| Aspect | A day-rate contractor | Gosai Data Services |
|---|---|---|
| Suits you when | Contractor: You want to direct the work yourself, day to day | GDS: You want an outcome delivered, and the people handled for you |
| What you buy | Contractor: A person’s time, usually by the day | GDS: Agreed outcomes from a managed team |
| Who picks | Contractor: You do | GDS: We do, matched to the work |
| Who manages | Contractor: You do | GDS: Our senior lead |
| Holiday or sickness | Contractor: You plan around it | GDS: We arrange cover |
| If it isn’t working | Contractor: You find someone else | GDS: We replace them and handle the handover, at our cost |

FAQ
Common questions.
Is this recruitment or contractor supply?
No. You agree outcomes with Gosai Data Services, and we decide who does the work and how. We stay responsible for the people for as long as the engagement runs.
What happens if someone is off or leaves?
Cover is part of the service, so the work carries on. If a change of person is needed, we handle the handover at our cost.
Can this work alongside our existing team?
Yes. Lead roles and analytics engineers are built to sit inside the team you already have. Fully outsourced analytics suits businesses without one.
Can it combine with a managed service?
Yes. A lead role can sit alongside fix-on-fail support, for example. We shape the proposal around what you need.
