Freelance Engagement Lead | Remote | £35,000–£45,000 | Freelance – Maternity Cover (6–12 months)
A corporate training and L&D provider is looking for a Freelance Engagement Lead to cover maternity leave, keeping their freelance trainer network running smoothly across live and virtual delivery for corporate clients. This is a hands-on operational role rather than a sales one - you'll be the person freelancers and internal teams rely on to keep courses staffed, scheduled and paid on time.
The role:
- Manage the freelance trainer pool — onboarding, availability, and matching trainers to upcoming courses
- Own end-of-month invoicing, chasing and collating invoices from contractors ahead of payment runs
- Manage trainer timesheets, checking accuracy and resolving discrepancies before sign-off
- Schedule courses and freelancers across the delivery calendar, balancing trainer availability against client commitments
We're looking for:
- Experience coordinating a freelance or contractor workforce, ideally within training, L&D, or a similar delivery-based environment
- Strong organisational skills — comfortable owning invoicing and timesheet processes end-to-end
- Confident working remotely and autonomously, with minimal day-to-day oversight
- Clear, proactive communicator — freelancers and internal stakeholders will both come to you for updates
