This project starts 11/9, is through 12/14 with potential to extend, is remote, and requires approximately 40 hours/week.

This range is an estimate; an employee’s compensation will be based on the employee’s qualifications, skillset, and relevant experience, specific client needs, project requirements, and other considerations permitted by law.
