## About this task

This specialty insurer covering small businesses (11–50 employees) is looking for a manager Content Lead for a single piece of work with a fixed scope and a fixed price. Test assignment, onboarding pack and rates for new writers.

The company has a deadline, no one free to own it, and wants a person who has done the same job before. It is an insurer, so accuracy and an audit trail come before speed.

The team sits in Columbus. Everything can be done remotely; an occasional visit is welcome and never required for the first month. You choose your hours; nothing is scheduled except an occasional short call.

## What you deliver

- Recruit and onboard four freelance writers with a paid test assignment and a feedback round.

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

- A 20-minute walkthrough call, or a recorded screen share if you prefer

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

## How the work runs

- Day 1: scope confirmed in writing, files shared

- Middle of the period: draft shared for early feedback

- Last day: final version and handover note

**Duration:** about 10 working days. Accepted after the walkthrough. Edits requested within three working days are part of the price.

## Tools

Notion Loom

## Who fits

- 7-12 years of hands-on work as a Content Lead, or the equivalent mix of roles

- Comfortable working in Notion and Loom

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

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

- Has worked with a distributed team across time zones

## Not included

- On-call availability outside the agreed window

- Travel or work at a fixed location

- 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 USD 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.
