• Follow internal guidelines for labeling, tracking, and urgency notes
• Assist with future sample order entry or CSR functions (optional growth path)

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Experience in finance, bookkeeping, or administrative support
• Familiarity with Google Workspace (Gmail, Docs, Sheets)
• Strong attention to detail and high accuracy in data entry
• Excellent written and verbal English communication skills
• Ability to work independently while escalating issues appropriately
