## About this task

This Embedded-finance provider for small businesses (1,001–5,000 employees) is looking for a director 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 operates in regulated payments and lending, so a written trail for every decision matters.

The work is fully remote. Any location in United States 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. About 2 hours a week should overlap with the team's day (MT).

## What you deliver

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

- 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

- A short handover note when the engagement pauses or ends

## What a week looks like

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

- Monday: ten-minute sync if anything is blocked

- Wednesday: weekly summary posted to the shared thread

**Duration:** 12 weeks, renewable. Accepted when the output matches the agreed checklist and the sample check passes; the recruiter confirms by e-mail.

## Tools

Google Docs Ahrefs

## Who fits

- 10-15 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

- 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

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

- Travel or work at a fixed location

## 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.

## What happens after you say you're interested

1. **Within one working day** A recruiter writes to you to confirm your hours and the rate you want.

1. **You agree the rate** You and the recruiter fix an exact rate inside the company's range. You decide whether to go ahead.

1. **With your written OK** The company sees the anonymous profile below. Most companies answer within three working days.
