Responsibilities

• needs to have the capacity to assess up to approximately 10 – 15 hours a week. There may be an opportunity for more, if you have the time available.

Certification

Full certification is achieved after assessing ~10 – 20 portfolio submissions / ~30 – 60 single artifact submissions and receiving approval by the team lead responsible for onboarding.

Compensation
A flat fee is paid for every completed assessment which results in ~$30 – $45 an hour based on each individual’s speed. The flat fee varies by portfolio/single artifact and if the submission is an initial submission or a resubmission.
