Full-Time, Long-Term Data Entry/Research Assistant

LegiStorm is seeking a full-time detail-oriented data entry and research assistant with strong English and Internet skills to help grow its database about U.S. politics.

LegiStorm is a growing and much-heralded authority website that is cited frequently by top media outlets and is known among Washington insiders as a high-quality source of information about Congress. We are highly rated on Upwork and have many Upwork employees who have been with us for years.

The job applicant will need:
– solid research skills
– strong English skills
– the ability to manipulate data quickly (fast typing and keyboard shortcuts being among the key traits here)
– good proofreading abilities to see errors that need to be fixed
– high degree of accuracy
– eagerness to learn how to handle more tasks
– efficient computer setup, with a reliable internet connection and a high-resolution computer screen

This work requires a lot of detailed communication, feedback, and modifications/clarifications to your instructions on a frequent and ongoing basis. If additional, undisclosed individuals are working on this contract, it will be obvious fairly quickly and your contract will be terminated immediately.

We are looking only for candidates who can work close to 40 hours a week. The schedule is very flexible but you need to work some hours that overlap with a typical Washington, D.C. (U.S. Eastern Time zone) working schedule.
