We are seeking someone who communicates clearly, raises potential issues early, maintains accurate records, and takes ownership of recurring responsibilities. The successful freelancer should be comfortable working from established procedures while also identifying practical opportunities to improve efficiency and organization. ## Schedule and Engagement • Approximately 10 to 15 hours per week initially • Ongoing engagement expected to last at least six months • Workload may increase as the organization expands • Flexible work schedule, with dependable availability during agreed upon U.S. business hours ## How to Apply Please include the following with your proposal: 1.
