About the Role

TierFive is seeking a motivated, dependable, and detail-oriented Document Processing Clerk / Document Scanning Specialist to join our secure Imaging Conversion Center team. This role is a good fit for someone who prefers focused, structured work over customer-facing work. Most of the day is spent at an assigned workstation preparing records, operating scanning equipment, reviewing images, and entering data.

In this role, you will help process high-volume scanning projects by preparing, scanning, digitizing, indexing, reviewing, and organizing customer records accurately and efficiently. Training is provided. Prior document-scanning experience is helpful but not required.
