JOB SUMMARY
The Seasonal People Operations (PO) Data Entry Specialist provides essential administrative support to the PO department both remotely and in person during the Burning Man event in Nevada. This temporary (April–October), full-time role focuses primarily on high-volume data entry to support event hiring, with additional day-to-day PO support as needed.
The ideal candidate has 3+ years of experience in data entry and/or administrative Human Resources work and demonstrates advanced proficiency in Google Sheets. They are exceptionally detail-oriented, comfortable working with large datasets, can effectively switch between tasks, and are adept at identifying, troubleshooting, and resolving data discrepancies. This role requires strong organizational skills, the ability to manage competing priorities, and be at ease working in a fast-paced, deadline-driven, and ever-changing environment.

The Data Entry Specialist will regularly interact with managers and employees via email, slack, and in person and must bring excellent written and verbal communication skills, a service-oriented approach, and a calm, positive demeanor. A high level of discretion and confidentiality is essential, as is the ability to work independently, ask clarifying questions, and manage time efficiently. Success in this role requires consistent daily engagement and collaboration within the Seasonal Hiring team, responsiveness to direction, and the ability to act quickly on assigned priorities.
