Remote Recruitment is hiring a Data Administrator for a UK employer, fully remote from South Africa.
Role overview

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.
Key responsibilities

- Maintain and update core records with a high accuracy standard

- 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

What you'll need

- 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.

Flights + hotels

This role requires you to be in South Africa. If that means relocating or flying in, it is worth checking fares before you commit to a start date.
