The site does not exist yet and needs to be created. This is a big project and work could be ongoing.Includes these broad functional aspects:

We hope most of what’s above can be achieved with existing WordPress plugins. Thus the consultant’s initial activity will be evaluating, recommending, and integrating plugins. But we will need to develop custom plugins where existing ones don’t satisfy the requirement.
We are based in USA but you don’t need to be. This is a start-up company.
Please send whatever background you think is relevant, giving an indication of your experience in as many of the above areas as possible. Examples of sites you have built would be helpful.
