-   Willingness to start working under an Independent Contractor arrangement and later transition to an Employer of Record (EOR) arrangement

**Work Arrangement & Expectations:**

This is a remote role that will be set up as an independent contractor engagement.

To ensure alignment and transparency, successful candidates will be expected to:

-   Disclose any existing ongoing roles or client work
-   Reflect this engagement on their LinkedIn profile (clearly marked as “Independent Contractor”)
