• Exposure to data entry, office administration, bookkeeping, payroll, or HR records through work, internships, or coursework.
• Familiarity with entering financial and human resources data (e.g., timesheets, expenses, invoices, employee records).

• Ability to handle confidential financial and personal information with discretion.
• Clear written communication skills and reliability working independently on a remote, part‑time schedule.
• Reliable high‑speed internet and a private workspace suitable for handling confidential information.
• US person status required (defense program context).
