- You have excellent communication skills: you can modulate your style to engage stakeholders of varying seniority and technical backgrounds, and you deliver compelling presentations and product demonstrations
- You are able to prioritize and influence customer priorities (including pushing back on customers when needed) and demonstrate strong project management capabilities
- You’re able to influence customer priorities, prioritize competing demands, and balance customer needs against the priorities of our business
- You are a highly collaborative team player who is comfortable navigating ambiguity and thrives collaborating with a broad range of cross-functional teams
- You’re able to adapt to new technologies and learn quickly; previous experience with Airtable is not required but very welcome!
What the job involves
- As a member of our Professional Services organization, you’ll partner closely with our clients and account teams to scope, design and deliver transformative solutions
- You’ll advise on and visually map complex business processes, shape data governance models, and create implementation plans that allow our customers to realize value from Airtable’s platform quickly and efficiently
- As a founding member of our Solutions Architecture Team, you’ll also play a crucial role in shaping key processes and organizational structure as we scale
- Partner with stakeholders across our Account and Professional Services teams to scope customized professional services engagements
- Deeply understand clients' business processes, requirements, and pain points; advise on best practices for integrating Airtable into their workflow
- Advise customers on the creation and management of their data governance models from license administration through long-term solution maintenance
- Develop solution architecture designs, implementation plans, and project timelines that align with clients' objectives and requirements and ensure a seamless handoff to implementation stakeholders
- Provide technical guidance and support to clients and internal teams throughout the implementation process, addressing concerns or issues that arise
- Respond to customer feedback; mitigate objections with sound counsel and relay any product improvements to the right Airtable cross-functional partners
Our take
Airtable allows users to create and collaborate on spreadsheets and relational databases without having to write lines of SQL code. It's most often used for customer-relationship management, project management, workflow planning and inventory.
In this sense, the concept is similar to the likes of Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel, but the fact that it functions as a database while remaining as easy to use as a spreadsheet is what sets it apart. So too does the fact that it can be used to build apps using Airtable’s own library of User Interface tools.
Whilst startups, including NocoDB, are setting out to challenge Airtable's industry-leading position, since launching in 2012, the business has grown pretty spectacularly, amassing an $11 billion valuation. The company also boasts an impressive (and evergrowing) list of customers using its cloud based platform, including Netflix, Expedia, Medium and Shopify.
