Everything can be done remotely; an occasional visit is welcome and never required for the first month. The work runs in two set slots a week, agreed with the team at the start. About 1 hour a week should overlap with the team's day (PT). ## What you deliver - Pitch a new industry survey to 40 journalists with tailored emails and report outcomes. - A running log of open questions, reviewed at the start of each week - A month-end summary with hours used against the cap - The monthly list of items completed, each with a link to the result ## What a month looks like - Start of month: the company shares the items and the priorities - Mid-month: progress check of 15 minutes - Month end: hours used against the cap, results and open items **Duration:** 6 months, with a monthly hours cap.
