We are seeking a detail-oriented Data Processing Officer (DPO) to support large-scale field data collection programs. This role is responsible for uploading, validating, organizing, labeling, and tracking datasets collected from field operations.

• Apply standardized data labeling and tagging conventions (scenario IDs, participant/session IDs, location identifiers, and device details).
• 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 elevate 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Experience working with camera‑based or video‑driven data collection projects.
• Familiarity with data QA processes and client acceptance criteria.
• Experience preparing datasets for internal or external client submission and review.

• Maintain high first‑pass data acceptance with minimal rework.
• Ensure zero critical submission failures due to labeling or metadata errors.
• Provide accurate real‑time tracking of dataset readiness.
• Identify and elevate data risks early to prevent project delays.
