What the person will actually do.
WHAT TO WRITE DOWN
The specific tasks How much time they take What good work looks like What tools they need Who they report to
WHY SPECIFICITY MATTERS
A vague role produces a disappointing hire, and neither party knows why.
WHAT TO AVOID
"General assistance" A list of everything you dislike doing A role requiring five unrelated skills
THAT LAST ONE
Someone excellent at design is rarely excellent at bookkeeping.
Hire for one thing well rather than several badly.
WHAT TO DECIDE
Full time, part time, or per task Employed or contracted Fixed hours or flexible
THE HOURS QUESTION
For most remote work, output matters more than hours.
Judging by hours remotely is difficult and frequently pointless.
WHAT TO SPECIFY INSTEAD
What must be delivered, and when.
WHAT TO ESTABLISH ABOUT AVAILABILITY
When you need them reachable, if at all.
