Data Entry Specialist
About us
Labedan IT Solutions is a Tanzanian software company specialising in business systems, automation and digital platforms, serving organisations across insurance, banking, logistics, construction and real estate, including CRDB Bank, Heritage Insurance, ATI, GSM Group and many more. We design and build each system, and we continue to operate and support it after it goes live. This position differs from our standard vacancies. Several of our clients require capable personnel within their own offices to set up and operate the systems we have delivered for them. Labedan is conducting this recruitment on their behalf. Successful candidates will be employed and paid by the client company and based at the client's offices. Labedan will provide full training on the system prior to commencement and will remain the ongoing technical support contact throughout the engagement.
