Hiring Plan and Org Review

About this task

This Last-mile delivery company with a cold-chain network (51–200 employees) is looking for a director 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.

It is a self-contained job: scope, checklist and price are agreed before you start. It moves goods for customers, so the data is operational and updated daily.

The work is fully remote, but the company can only contract people who live in South Carolina, so this one is for residents there. You choose your hours; nothing is scheduled except an occasional short call.

What you deliver

• Review the organisation and produce a six-quarter hiring plan with cost.
• One round of edits after the company's review is included
• A final note stating what was checked and what was left out of scope
• 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 6: the work, with questions answered the same day
• Last day: delivery and a short walkthrough

Duration: 1 to 2 weeks. Accepted when the output matches the agreed checklist and the sample check passes; the recruiter confirms by e-mail.

Tools

How you get paid

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

• 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.
