## About this task

This Series A clinical data company for elder care (51–200 employees) is looking for a senior Legal Operations for an ongoing part-time engagement of 3–8 h a week. Sorts requests so lawyers deal with the right ones.

The team is stretched and wants steady, predictable help instead of another full-time hire. It works in healthcare, so patient data is never part of the task and privacy rules are strict.

The work is fully remote. Any location in United States works, with a few hours of overlap with the team's day. Most people do this on weekday evenings; replies inside the working day are not expected. About 3 hours a week should overlap with the team's day (CT).

## What you deliver

- Triage requests, answer routine ones using templates and route the rest to counsel.

- Questions collected in one thread, answered within one working day

- A short handover note when the engagement pauses or ends

- Work logged against the agreed list, so the company contact can see progress without a call

## What a week looks like

- Friday: pick up the queue and confirm priorities

- Midweek: two short working sessions of one to two hours

- Wednesday: update sent before the company's end of day

**Duration:** 12 weeks, renewable. Accepted on the company's written OK. If something is missed, you fix it in the same week at no extra charge to either side.

## Tools

Jira Slack

## Who fits

- 5-10 years of hands-on work as a Legal Operations, or the equivalent mix of roles

- Comfortable working in Jira and Slack

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

### Nice to have

- Comfortable explaining numbers or decisions to a non-specialist reader

- Used to short written handovers

## Not included

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

- Travel or work at a fixed location

- Managing other contractors or employees

## 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.

## 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.

1. **With your written OK** The company sees the anonymous profile below. Most companies answer within three working days.

1. **Start** You sign the task agreement and the company's confidentiality terms through Deftridge, and begin on the date above.
