Successful candidates should be/have:
As this position is an independent contractor, there is not a set work schedule. The consultant will work with Equality Ohio’s Interim Executive Director to determine how their time will be spent each week. In past years, this contractor has generally been available Wednesday - Sunday to conduct internal planning and coordination and to be present at Pride events. This position has averaged 30 hours per week over the summer; June is typically the busiest month, and contractors have occasionally worked up to 50 hours over the course of a week.
This contract is based in Columbus, and can work at Equality Ohio’s Columbus office. The role will include travel within the state of Ohio to attend Pride festivals and provide support to staff for related events. The Contractor should be able to travel independently across the state, sometimes overnight. In-state travel outside of Columbus is estimated at approximately five (5) times per month.
Travel will be reimbursed or paid for directly per EO’s internal policies and expense report procedures. Mileage is reimbursed at the standard IRS rate.
The nature of this position requires a mixture of physical activity and sedentary environments. Individuals must be able to physically lift and move equipment and materials, such as tables, tents, and boxes up to 50 lbs, set up and be present at tables and/or booths to represent the organization at Pride festivals. The tabling may be done seated or standing or in combination. As this position requires attendance at outdoor festivals, there will likely be instances where the person encounters weather and outdoor elements, temperature fluctuations, enclosed spaces, and noisy environments.
