Role
Who you are
- Business acumen: Ability to understand business objectives and translate them into technical requirements with a focus on measurable outcomes
- Analytical approach: Strong ability to collect, analyze, and present data to inform decision-making and measure impact
- Technical versatility: Hands-on experience building in no-code/low-code environments (Zapier, Notion) and comfort with data concepts, APIs, and basic coding in Python (or willingness to learn fast)
- Systems perspective: Experience designing workflows that consider the entire ecosystem rather than isolated solutions, with an eye for data relationships and integrity
- Learning agility: Genuine curiosity and aptitude for quickly adopting new tools and technologies in the rapidly evolving AI and automation landscape
- Consultative communication: Skill in understanding stakeholder needs, setting appropriate expectations, and explaining complex concepts in accessible terms
- Project management: History of owning projects from conception to completion, managing priorities effectively, and delivering on commitments
- Don’t meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply for jobs unless they meet every qualification. If you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles
