## About this task

This contract research organisation in dermatology (51–200 employees) is looking for a manager 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 life sciences, where documents are versioned and reviewed in a fixed order.

The work is fully remote. Any location in United States 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

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

- 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

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

## 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:** 1 to 2 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

- 7-12 years of hands-on work as a Legal Operations, or the equivalent mix of roles

## Not included

- On-call availability outside the agreed window

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

## 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.
