## About this task

This property developer in student housing (5,000+ employees) is looking for a director Legal Operations for a single piece of work with a fixed scope and a fixed price. Selects and reviews outside providers.

The work is too small to justify a hire and too important to leave to chance. It works in real estate and construction, where project documents change often.

The company prefers a person who can come to London for kickoff and the final review; the rest is remote. 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 (UK time).

## What you deliver

- Run a review of three e-discovery providers and recommend one.

- A 20-minute walkthrough call, or a recorded screen share if you prefer

- The finished deliverable in the agreed file format, with sources and assumptions listed

- One round of edits after the company's review is included

## How the work runs

- Day 1: kickoff call and access to the files

- Days 2 to 5: the work, with questions answered the same day

- Last day: delivery and a short walkthrough

**Duration:** 2 to 3 weeks. 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

Excel

## Who fits

- 10-15 years of hands-on work as a Legal Operations, or the equivalent mix of roles

- Used to short written handovers

- A habit of asking one clarifying question early rather than five late

## Not included

- On-call availability outside the agreed window

## 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 GBP 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.
