About The Position
Courier Newsroom is seeking an independent Digital Content + Social Consultant to manage the end-to-end digital presence for Keep Her Wild, a brand focused on wild horse preservation, humane treatment of equines and animals, public lands stewardship, and women's empowerment. The consulting engagement is expected to run from November 2026 through February 2027, with the possibility of extension. The rate is $100–$125 per hour for approximately 20–25 hours per week.

The consultant determines the methods, tools, schedule, and location used to perform the services. Services are provided under a consulting agreement and statement of work and are compensated monthly upon receipt of an invoice. The consultant does not receive salary, wages, or employee benefits; sets their own hours and location; supplies their own equipment, software, and workspace; may work with other clients; and is responsible for their own taxes, insurance, and business expenses.
