A data entry job where the numbers get audited

Most people picture data entry as fast typing. This opening is closer to record keeping for a contracts desk. As a Data Entry Specialist at ITC Federal, you would enter the contract reporting data that the company’s Contracts and Business Development team relies on, and someone later checks it against the record. If you reread a figure before moving on, this role suits you.

ITC Federal works in technology and government contracting, and the listing describes this position as remote. That puts it among the Remote Data Entry Jobs worth a look if you are searching for Work from Home Jobs or WFH Jobs with a clear, defined scope.

What the Data Entry Specialist does day to day

• Handles high-volume data entry for contract reporting, with accuracy and on time.
• Prepares and enters NASA SEWP V contract reporting data to the stated requirements.
• Enters, updates and maintains contract records in TechnoMile.
• Reviews entries for accuracy and resolves discrepancies.
• Keeps records organized so they hold up in reporting and audits.
• Juggles several data entry requests and priorities at once.
• Works with the Contracts team and leadership to meet deadlines and protect sensitive information.

For context, NASA SEWP V is a government-wide contract vehicle for technology purchases, and the listing says reporting against it is part of the job. The listing does not describe the work schedule, so ask about it during the application process.

Who ITC Federal wants for this Data Entry Specialist role

• Prior data entry experience or a Bachelor’s degree.
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel.
• Ability to work independently from home and meet reporting deadlines.
• Strong organizational and communication skills.
• Discretion with sensitive business information.
• Preferred: prior government contractor experience.
• A plus: familiarity with NASA SEWP V reporting or TechnoMile.

Note the “or” in the first requirement. Either data entry experience or a bachelor’s degree meets the baseline, so a degree holder without a data entry job on the resume is not automatically out. SEWP V and TechnoMile are listed as a plus, not a must.

Pay and benefits

The projected salary range is $35,000 to $40,000. The listing says offers depend on experience, education and skills. Benefits named in the listing:

• Health, dental and vision insurance
• 401(k) plan
• Tuition reimbursement
• Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
• 11 paid federal holidays
• Three weeks of paid time off

The listing does not say whether the position is full time or part time, so confirm hours before you accept an offer.
