You will keep a UK company’s data accurate and usable, cleaning records, running checks and producing the reports the business actually relies on. It suits someone precise who finds satisfaction in a clean dataset.
You will work 09:00-17:00 UK time (11:00-19:00 SAST) from home, with equipment guidance, a proper induction and a manager who is contactable through the day. This is a permanent role, not a short contract.

Run regular data quality checks and fix what is wrong
Import, export and reconcile data between systems
Build routine reports for operations and management
Document processes so the work is repeatable
Flag data gaps and suggest practical fixes

Two or more years in data administration, data entry or a records role
Strong Excel skills including lookups, filters and pivot tables
Experience maintaining a database or CRM
A careful, methodical approach to accuracy and version control
Reliable home internet and a quiet space for UK-hours work
Nice to have
Exposure to basic SQL
Experience with Google Sheets automation
Familiarity with data protection practice
What's on offer
A permanent, fully remote role with a UK employer, ownership of the data that the business runs on, and scope to grow towards analysis work.
