I know what Fri og frank means in general, but in this case it's used in an advertisement for a vacant position. I'm looking for a good English expression that covers it, but a little less "slangy" than "footloose".

free as the breeze
It wouldn't be very PC to advertise after a single person. But they might be looking for someone who has an independent outlook, who is not committed to anyone or anything
