Contractor Team — Roles, Rates & Activation
This document maps Crelligent's full contractor workforce — the twelve-person delivery network that powers engagement execution without the overhead of permanent staff.
The Contractor Model
Crelligent operates a lean, contractor-first model in Year 1. Not all twelve contractors are active every month. The Senior Systems Consultant, Full-Stack Developer, IoT Engineer, and Project Manager are activated on a per-engagement basis — they are only contracted when there is a live client engagement that requires their skills. The VA, Content Writer, Social Media Manager, and Graphic Designer operate on ongoing monthly arrangements.
Total monthly contractor cost when all twelve are active: ₦1,720,000
Lean month (no active build project): approximately ₦620,000

Key Role Descriptions
1. Senior Systems Consultant
This is your most important delivery hire. They must understand enterprise architecture, operating model design, and systems thinking at a level close to your own.
What to look for: Portfolio showing enterprise architecture or business transformation work. Experience with large organizations. Strong written communication. Able to think in systems, not solutions. Based in Nigeria preferably.
2. Full-Stack Developer
Engaged when a Phase 3 build is active. Must work from a technical architecture document and translate it into production-quality code without constant supervision.
What to look for: Strong portfolio of delivered applications — not mockups. Experience with React or Vue (frontend), Node.js or Python (backend), PostgreSQL or MongoDB, and at least one cloud platform.
3. IoT / Embedded Systems Engineer
The technical backbone of Crelligent Edge. Must understand both the hardware side (sensor selection, firmware, connectivity protocols) and the software side (data pipelines, MQTT, IoT platforms).
What to look for: Experience with IoT protocols (MQTT, LoRaWAN, Zigbee). Hardware experience with ESP32, Raspberry Pi, or similar. Nigerian-market experience is a major advantage.
4. Proposal & Bid Writer
Translates the yearning-to-mastery sales philosophy into written proposals that feel nothing like the standard consulting proposal.
What to look for: Portfolio of B2B consulting or technology proposals. Strong command of English. Ability to write from the reader's perspective. Experience structuring complex commercial documents.
5. Virtual Executive Assistant
Your operational backbone. As founder, your time must be protected for deep thinking, client relationships, and business development.
What to look for: Extremely organized, proactive communicator. Experience supporting C-level executives. Proficient in Google Workspace, Notion, and CRM tools.
