About the Engagement

The People Strategy Consultant would be engaged to produce and deliver these work products. The People Strategy Consultant is not engaged to perform ongoing day-to-day operational duties, to manage or supervise FloQast personnel, or to occupy a standing role within the People team.
How the Engagement Works
- The People Strategy Consultant controls the manner, method, schedule, and location of the work, and is responsible for delivering the agreed deliverables by the agreed milestones.
- The People Strategy Consultant uses their own equipment and tools and may engage their own assistants or subcontractors.
- The People Strategy Consultant is free to perform services for other clients, including concurrently, during the term, subject to certain contractual restrictions.

- Where possible, the People Strategy Consultant will be engaged through their own business entity and will be responsible for their own taxes, insurance, and business expenses.
