ADDITIONAL NOTES
This is a remote contractor role. There is no physical office and most of our regular meetings are online, so you need to be comfortable, and disciplined, to working independently and managing their time in a remote environment. Currently most staff are UK or EU based but this role is based in North America with European reporting and online meetings, working closely with our NA Promotion Working Group.
Although we are a truly global organization all meetings and operations are conducted in English, therefore language skills are not essential beyond excellent fluent English.
