The positive words are for people who intend to help many companies as part of their customary job. They're called freelancers and consultants.
There is no positive word for someone who hops from employer to employer, each hiring her for a steady job and each losing her quickly. Employers hate those people, and the culture doesn't appreciate dilettantes or [goof]-offs either.
The few who would describe them positively (i.e., such people themselves) wouldn't define themselves in terms of their jobs. They'd go with free spirits, &c.
