## About this task

This Travel-technology company with city hotels (11–50 employees) is looking for a director Content Lead for a single piece of work with a fixed scope and a fixed price. Reviews all existing pages and decides keep, update, merge or delete.

A fresh pair of experienced eyes is needed, and the result is a document or file the team can use straight away. It works in travel and hospitality, where demand is seasonal.

The team sits in Preston. Everything can be done remotely; an occasional visit is welcome and never required for the first month. Evenings or weekends are fine, as long as the agreed weekly output is there. About 2 hours a week should overlap with the team's day (UK time).

## What you deliver

- Audit 400 blog posts, score each on traffic and quality and produce an action list.

- A final note stating what was checked and what was left out of scope

- One round of edits after the company's review is included

- The finished deliverable in the agreed file format, with sources and assumptions listed

## How the work runs

- Day 1: kickoff call and access to the files

- Days 2 to 8: the work, with questions answered the same day

- Last day: delivery and a short walkthrough

**Duration:** 1 to 2 weeks. Accepted after the walkthrough. Edits requested within three working days are part of the price.

## Tools

Screaming Frog Search Console Sheets

## Who fits

- 10-15 years of hands-on work as a Content Lead, or the equivalent mix of roles

- Comfortable working in Screaming Frog, Search Console and Sheets

- Your own work history stays private; the company sees a first name, your field and a rate

### Nice to have

- A habit of asking one clarifying question early rather than five late

- Used to short written handovers

## Not included

- Anything that needs a signature in your own name unless the brief says so

- Managing other contractors or employees

- Work outside the scope written in the brief; extra items are quoted separately

## How you get paid

- The company prepays Deftridge before your first hour, so payment does not depend on a late invoice.

- Deftridge pays you in GBP after the company confirms the hours or the deliverable. The payment date is written in your task agreement.

- You work as an independent contractor: you report your own income, and your recruiter sends the statements your accountant needs.

- You never chase the company. Questions about money go to Deftridge.

## What happens after you say you're interested

1. **Within one working day** A recruiter writes to you to confirm your hours and the rate you want.

1. **You agree the rate** You and the recruiter fix an exact rate inside the company's range. You decide whether to go ahead.
