Remote Data Entry Worker

Job Description

This is a remote position.

The Remote Data Entry Worker will play a vital role in supporting Sunrift Adventures’ back-office operations, ensuring that data from retail sales, rental services, inventory management, and vendor transactions is accurately entered, maintained, and updated. Sunrift – established in 1980 – is a well-known outdoor outfitter offering gear for hiking, cycling, paddling, climbing and more, and this role helps ensure that their digital operations remain as high-quality as their in-store experience.

Key Responsibilities

Enter, update and maintain data in company systems including inventory databases, point-of-sale records, rental transaction logs (e.g., bikes, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards), customer profiles, and vendor / purchase order records.

Review source documents (shipping receipts, invoices, rental agreements, return logs) for completeness and accuracy before keying in data; identify discrepancies and coordinate with on-site staff for resolution.

Reconcile data between systems (e.g., rental returns vs. inventory, POS sales vs. system records) and produce error or discrepancy reports for further action.

Maintain organized digital records, standardize naming conventions, perform data clean-up (duplicates, outdated entries), and archive legacy records as needed.

Generate regular reports (daily / weekly / monthly) summarizing key metrics – inventory status, rental usage, sales volumes, outstanding data entries – and share findings with management or operations leads.

Collaborate remotely with on-site teams (retail floor, rentals, warehouse) to gather missing information, clarify data points, ensure the remote data reflects real-time activity.

Ensure confidentiality and security of sensitive data (customer info, vendor pricing, operational metrics) in accordance with company policies and best practices for remote work.

Suggest improvements to data-entry workflows and systems, propose automation or optimizations (macros, scripts, digital tools) to increase efficiency and reduce errors.

Requirements

High School diploma or equivalent required; additional training or certification in office technology, business administration or data management preferred.

Proven experience in data entry, administrative support, or remote office environments—experience with retail or rental operations is a plus.

Typing proficiency (e.g., 50+ words per minute preferred) with strong accuracy and attention to detail.

Proficiency with spreadsheets (Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets) and comfortable learning new database or business-systems tools.

Excellent organizational skills, ability to prioritize tasks, manage deadlines, and work independently in a remote setting.

Reliable remote work setup (stable internet, appropriate workspace) and good communication skills—able to collaborate via email, chat, and video with on-site teams.

A background or interest in outdoor gear, retail / rental industry or adventure lifestyle is helpful, aligning with Sunrift’s culture and mission.

Benefits

Competitive hourly rate or salary based on experience.

Flexible remote work offering strong work-life balance.

Employee discount on outdoor gear, apparel and rentals from Sunrift Adventures.

Opportunities for professional growth into administrative, operational, or systems-support roles within the organization.

Training and development in data workflows, remote team collaboration and retail / rental operations.

Join a local, community-rooted business with a strong reputation for quality gear and expert service in outdoor adventure.

Requirements

Friendly, energetic, with strong communication and listening skills. Passionate about the outdoors; experience or comfort with outdoor gear is a plus. Detail-oriented; able to multitask and work efficiently even during busy times. Reliable, punctual, and able to work flexible hours, including weekends and holidays. Able to lift equipment (e.g. boxes or gear) up to moderate weight (e.g. 40-50 lbs) safely. Comfortable standing for long periods and moving around the store.
