• **Cross-Platform Compatibility:** Checking that templates display and function correctly across **Google Sheets/Docs, Microsoft Excel, and potentially other software** (e.g., Notion, Airtable, etc., depending on the product).
• **Instruction/Documentation Review:** Proofreading and testing all associated documentation to ensure it matches the product functionality perfectly.
### **Required Skills & Experience**
• **Expert Proficiency** in **Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel** (a deep understanding of formulas, cell locking, protection, data validation, and basic scripting/macros is a major plus).
• Proven experience in a **QA or Product Testing role**, preferably with digital products, software, or complex data sets.
• Exceptional **attention to detail** and a highly systematic, organized approach to testing.
• Strong written communication skills to document bugs, suggest improvements, and clearly communicate findings.

1. A summary of your experience specifically testing spreadsheets or complex digital templates.
2. Your proposed hourly rate for this ongoing work.
