An offshore data science analyst is a remote specialist who turns your raw data into models, dashboards, and decisions — using Python, SQL, statistics, and machine learning for your Australian business from our Colombo or Manila hubs. Webco’s offshore data science analysts start from AUD $4,500 per month all-inclusive — well below a local data scientist at $120,000–$180,000/year.
Every data science analyst is sourced and vetted before you see a CV, works as a dedicated extension of your team, and is backed by Webco’s Melbourne account management. This page is part of our wider offshore software development service.
A local Australian data science analyst costs AUD $120,000–$180,000/year once superannuation, payroll tax, recruitment, and overhead are included. An equivalent data science analyst through Webco starts from $4,500/month all-inclusive — a saving of 50–70% with no employer obligations.
What’s included in your monthly fee:
| Engagement | Hours/month | Webco Pricing (AUD) | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dedicated Data Science Analyst | 160 hrs | From $4,500/mo | Ongoing roles & teams |
| Senior Data Science Analyst | 160 hrs | From $5,500/mo | Complex / lead-level work |
| Part-time | 80 hrs | From $2,800/mo | Lighter or project workloads |
| Team (2+) | Custom | Volume pricing | Squads & scale-ups |
Prices in AUD, exclusive of GST. Exact rate depends on seniority and skill set — you get a fixed monthly quote before you commit. Custom packages available for multi-hire teams.
