The term carries a sense of exclusivity or specialized focus that distinguishes it from a standard employment contract.
Examples

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with a standard job title. It implies a specific, often limited or project-based agreement, so it is incorrect to use it for someone who is a regular, full-time employee.
