    This does not sound like an independent contractor position, especially with the amount of work required.

    @MatthewRoth Independent contractor is defined by employment conditions, the amount of control, provision of workspace and materials etc. The amount of work is not generally considered a condition. This position sounds like the successful candidate is mostly in control of their own office hours centered around deadlines, provides their own workspace and possibly their own computer etc. There would also be minimal oversight, probably reporting to a board.

    I've worked jobs similar to this as a contractor. It's not a bad gig if someone has the skills and disposition.
