Data Entry Operator
Data Entry Operator
The Data Entry Operator reports to Advancement Services in the University Advancement office on campus. This position will assist in maintaining an accurate and consistent database of our alumni and donors.
On an ongoing basis, the Data Entry Operator will perform the following duties as needed:
- Update address, telephone, and email changes on donor and alumni records
- Update biographical details and communication preferences, and input notes
- Miscellaneous data-related projects as they arise
- Assist with office errands and tasks as necessary
This position requires sound judgement and the ability to make calculated, wise, and guided decisions from sometimes limited information. This job requires a high degree of accuracy and attention to detail, as well as proficiency in writing and typing. Previous experience in data entry or database systems (such as Raiser's Edge) is an asset but not necessary as training will be provided. Basic understanding of Office applications such as Word, Outlook and Excel is expected. Because of the close proximity to University donors and a professional environment, we expect the same conduct from our student workers as we do our staff.
This is a great opportunity to gain experience working in an office environment. Learn firsthand how our data is accurately managed and used effectively to achieve the goals of the university. As you will discover, data is the backbone of the business world. The skills developed in this position are highly transferrable for any career path.
Working hours are weekdays during business hours, flexible around your class schedule. Ideally, you would work 10-15 hours a week in shifts of 2 hours or greater. You may continue working in this role during official academic breaks (excluding office closures) and for as long as you are a current student at SPU.
An up to date resume is required. A cover letter is strongly encouraged.
