Data Entry Clerk

This a Full Remote job, the offer is available from: Africa

Clean data is invisible. Nobody notices it - until it is wrong, and then everybody does.

Job Overview

Our UK-based client is hiring a full-time, remote Data Entry Clerk based in South Africa. You will keep the client's systems accurate, current and trustworthy - processing records with the speed of a machine and the judgement of a human. This is a stable, long-term role on UK business hours.

About Our Client

The client is a UK business that runs on its data: customer records, orders, supplier details and reports all depend on what gets entered at the source. They have seen what one careless keystroke costs, which is why they hire dedicated professionals rather than treating data entry as an afterthought.

Key Responsibilities

- Enter, update and verify records across the client's core systems

- Cross-check entries against source documents for accuracy

- Clean and de-duplicate existing data sets on a rolling schedule

- Flag inconsistencies and missing information rather than guessing

- Meet daily volume targets without sacrificing accuracy

- Maintain confidentiality with sensitive customer and business data

- Produce simple reports and exports when the team needs them

What You Will Be Doing Day-to-Day

Your day is built on focused processing blocks: working through queues of records, invoices, forms or updates with care and rhythm. You will check unusual entries against source documents, log anything that needs a second opinion, and keep your accuracy stats visible and honest.

Between queues you will run tidy-up passes on older data, help with exports for reporting, and suggest small changes that make entry faster or safer. You will finish each day knowing exactly how much you processed and how clean it was.

This suits a South African professional who finds satisfaction in accuracy, keeps pace without cutting corners, and treats every record as if the business depends on it - because it does.

If you are based in South Africa with fast, accurate typing and good English, this is a dependable remote role with a UK employer that values careful work. Apply today.

Requirements

- 1+ years' experience in data entry, data processing or records administration

- Fast, accurate typing with proven attention to detail

- Proven reliability: stable fibre internet, backup power for load shedding, and a quiet home office

- Confident with tech tools: Excel or Google Sheets, databases or CRMs, and Google Workspace or Microsoft 365

- Good written English for clear queries and notes

- Disciplined, consistent and trustworthy with confidential information

Benefits

Full-time remote position working for a UK-based employer. Competitive salary paid in ZAR. Long-term stable role. Supportive team environment. Direct access to founder-led business.
