French Speaking Data Quality Specialist - Online Research & Data Entry (Ongoing, 30+ hrs/week)
Worldwide
About us We run a French platform that helps nonprofits find funding. Our system automatically monitors around 20 sources, extracts funding opportunities using AI, and matches them to nonprofit projects. The AI handles the volume - but it fails on ambiguous cases, and it flags them. That's where you come in. What you will actually do You will work in our back-office (a web admin interface - no coding required) and process a queue of flagged records. Two types of work: Funding opportunities - verify and correct: eligibility area, grant amounts, deadlines, title and type, source page URL, duplicates, off-topic content. Funding organizations - research and correct: official website, SIREN/SIRET company ID, contact details, and whether the organization actually funds nonprofits. Concretely, a typical case looks like this: an organization is in the queue with no verified company ID. You search the French business registry, confirm the exact legal name matches, enter the 14-digit SIRET, and close the case. Most cases take 2 to 5 minutes. Two missions, not one 1. Fix the data. Process the flagged cases. Immediate effect, one record at a time. 2. Report systematic failures. When you notice the AI making the same mistake repeatedly, report it to our team on Discord. This is the more valuable half of the job: correcting 40 records by hand takes a morning and prevents nothing. Identifying their common cause fixes it permanently. We are explicitly looking for someone who will do the second part, not just click through the queue. Why accuracy matters here Each nonprofit project receives a maximum of 5 recommendations per 96-hour window. A bad record that passes your review doesn't just add noise - it takes one of those 5 slots for four days, replacing a genuine opportunity. Careful work beats fast work. Current workload 130 funding opportunities and 1,527 organizations currently in the review queue, with roughly 350 cases resolved per week. This is a continuously fed queue, not a backlog to clear - the goal is steady, well-prioritized throughput. Requirements - Native or bilingual French. Non-negotiable. All source material is French administrative and legal text. - Strong online research skills - you can find a small foundation's real website and verify it's the right entity, not a lookalike. - Meticulous attention to detail. You notice when two records differ only by an apostrophe. - Comfortable with judgment calls, and comfortable saying "this one is ambiguous" rather than guessing. - Reliable availability, 30+ hours per week, long-term. Nice to have - Familiarity with the French nonprofit or grant-making sector - Experience with back-office or CRM data work - Prior use of French public business registries What we provide A complete written onboarding guide covering the platform, the method, and all 12 case types you'll encounter, with screenshots and worked examples. Direct access to our team on Discord. How we'll start This is a long-term, ongoing role. We start every collaboration with a paid 10-hour trial at your normal hourly rate, on real cases from our queue. It lets you see whether the work suits you, and lets us see how you handle ambiguous records. If it goes well, we move straight to an ongoing weekly contract - no re-application, no gap. To apply Please write your proposal in French - the entire role is conducted in French. Applications in English will not be reviewed. Keep it short. Skip the generic cover letter: we are not evaluating writing style, and we will assess your actual skills during the paid trial, on real cases. Just tell us: - Your weekly availability and time zone. - One example of past work involving research or data verification, with enough detail that we can picture what you actually did day to day. We reply to every application that meets these two points.
