Company: SmartPriced Analytics

About Us: SmartPriced Analytics is an AI-driven startup experiencing rapid growth. Our mission is to help large retail businesses identify exact and similar product matches across competitors. We work with some of the world’s largest retailers and operate with a small, highly focused team.

Role: Data Auditor / VA (Full-Time, Remote)
- Review product data from different retailers to identify exact matches or the closest equivalent products
- Make judgment calls when data is unclear or inconsistent, using set guidelines as well as independent research
- Investigate unfamiliar products, brands, or categories to understand differences and similarities
- Catch data issues, inconsistencies, and errors with a strong attention to detail
- Depending on workload, may assist with light VA-type tasks such as lead generation / marketing tasks (e.g., researching target customers, sending messages, responding to inquires etc.)
- Work independently with minimal supervision; this is not a client-facing role

Requirements:
- 3+ years of experience in a similar role (data quality assurance, data review, operations, e-commerce support, research-heavy admin work, or equivalent)
- Availability from 9am–5pm EST is strongly preferred, especially during the first month; schedule can become more flexible over time based on performance and ramp-up
- Fully fluent written and spoken English
- Prior experience working with large-scale product, e-commerce, or retail data is highly desirable
- Familiarity with North American retailers, products, brands, and price points (e.g., Walmart, Home Depot, Best Buy) is a strong plus
- Exceptional attention to detail and the ability to make consistent, well-reasoned judgment calls
- Self-starter mindset with the ability to solve simple problems independently
- Must have high speed internet and reliable VPN.
- Proficient in Excel / Google Sheets
- Familiarity with Lead Generation sources and tools (e.g. Apollo, LinkedIn, Instantly etc.) is a bonus - please call this out in your application.

This Role Is a Good Fit If You:
- Enjoy relatively simple, structured tasks that still require judgment and independent research
- Are comfortable with repetitive work and take pride in getting details right
- Like working on one skill and improving efficiency and accuracy over time
- Prefer working independently without client interaction or people management
- Can work EST overlapping hours.

Compensation:
$800–$1,000 USD per month (Full-Time, Remote)
