Hiring Plan and Org Review (Notion)

About this task

This mobility company in aftermarket parts (5,000+ employees) is looking for an executive Fractional COO for a single piece of work with a fixed scope and a fixed price. Which roles, in which order and with what outcomes.

The work is too small to justify a hire and too important to leave to chance. It is an automotive business with long programme cycles and a strong paper trail.

The work is fully remote, but the company can only contract people who live in California, so this one is for residents there. Most people do this on weekday evenings; replies inside the working day are not expected. About 2 hours a week should overlap with the team's day (PT).

What you deliver

• Review the organisation and produce a six-quarter hiring plan with cost.
• The finished deliverable in the agreed file format, with sources and assumptions listed
• 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

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

Tools

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.
