About this task

This omnichannel retailer selling furniture (201–500 employees) is looking for a senior Policy & Handbook Writer for a single piece of work with a fixed scope and a fixed price. Updates policies after law or business changes.

It is a self-contained job: scope, checklist and price are agreed before you start. It is a retailer with stores and an online channel, and the team works to a weekly trading rhythm.

The work is fully remote. Any location in Canada works, with a few hours of overlap with the team's day. You choose your hours; nothing is scheduled except an occasional short call.

What you deliver

  • Review ten policies against recent changes and deliver tracked updates.
  • The finished deliverable in the agreed file format, with sources and assumptions listed
  • 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

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: 2 to 3 weeks. Accepted when the company contact confirms the deliverable against the written checklist. One round of edits is included.

  • Comfortable working in Word and Google Docs

  • Travel or work at a fixed location
  • On-call availability outside the agreed window
  • Work outside the scope written in the brief; extra items are quoted separately

How you get paid

  • Deftridge pays you in CAD 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.
