- Segment and organize datasets by city, household/session, and scenario types, ensuring complete coverage with no duplicates or missing data.
- Maintain detailed data tracking logs in Google Sheets, including upload status, QA results, rejection reasons, and submission readiness.
- Identify data quality issues such as corrupted files, incomplete uploads, or metadata mismatches, and escalate them to appropriate teams.
- Coordinate with field moderators and technical teams to resolve data gaps or inconsistencies.
- Prepare structured submission-ready data packages with proper documentation and version control.
- Ensure all data handling adheres to privacy, security, and access control policies.
Required Qualifications
- Experience working with research, field, or media datasets in structured data workflows.
- Strong proficiency with Google Sheets for tracking, validation, and reporting.
- Proven ability to follow strict data labeling and qualification protocols with high accuracy.
- Strong attention to detail with the ability to detect data anomalies and inconsistencies.
- Excellent written communication and documentation skills.
Required Technical Skills
- Experience handling large media files (video, image, audio) including uploading, organizing, and validating files.
- Understanding of file systems, folder structures, and naming conventions.
- Ability to validate metadata fields such as timestamps, IDs, and scenario labels.
- Experience identifying data integrity issues (corrupted files, duplicates, incomplete uploads).
- Knowledge of secure data handling and privacy-aware workflows.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience working with camera-based or video-driven data collection projects.
- Familiarity with data QA processes and client acceptance criteria.
