- Ability to work independently on open-ended briefs, with sound judgement on when to escalate.
How the role works
Your choice of projects
Before each project we share the scope, timeline and expected time commitment. You confirm whether it fits your schedule before you start.
Paid per project
Each project starts with a short paid phase, billed hourly up to an agreed cap, while the scope is confirmed. The rest of the project is paid per deliverable at a fixed fee agreed in writing. Rates are set by level and location and shared at the offer stage.
Right to work
You must be able to work as an independent contractor where you are based. If you hold a visa, please tell us about any limits on hours or self-employment.
