## About this task

This international nonprofit in climate (5,000+ employees) is looking for a manager Content Lead for an ongoing part-time engagement of 3–6 h a week. Briefs that writers can follow without a call.

The person who did this left, and the company would rather bring in an experienced part-timer than rush a permanent hire. It is a nonprofit, so budgets are tight and grant reporting dates are fixed.

The work is fully remote. Any location in Canada 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.

## What you deliver

- Produce eight article briefs a week with outline, sources, search intent and internal links.

- A short handover note when the engagement pauses or ends

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

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

## What a week looks like

- Daily: one hour at a time that suits you, inside the agreed window

- Friday: ten-minute sync if anything is blocked

- Monday: weekly summary posted to the shared thread

**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

Google Docs Ahrefs

## Who fits

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

- Comfortable working in Google Docs and Ahrefs

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

### Nice to have

- Has worked with a distributed team across time zones

- Experience in a similar industry

## Not included

- Travel or work at a fixed location

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

- Anything that needs a signature in your own name unless the brief says so

## 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 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.
