We're looking for an Airtable Process Automation Expert to design, build, and optimize workflow systems that eliminate manual busywork for growing teams. This is not a "set up a base" role — you'll be architecting end-to-end operational systems: automations, integrations, and process logic that fundamentally change how a business runs day to day.
You'll work directly with clients to translate messy, manual processes into clean, scalable Airtable-based systems — often integrating with other tools in their stack.
- Design and build custom Airtable bases, interfaces, and automations tailored to a client's specific operational workflows
- Map existing manual processes and re-architect them into automated, self-maintaining systems
- Build integrations between Airtable and third-party tools (Zapier, Make, Slack, Gmail, native APIs) to create seamless cross-platform workflows
- Write and maintain Airtable scripting (JavaScript) for advanced automation logic beyond native no-code capabilities
- Design relational data structures and table architecture that scale as client needs grow
- Create intuitive interfaces and views for non-technical end users, ensuring adoption without a steep learning curve
- Troubleshoot and optimize existing Airtable systems that have become slow, fragile, or overly complex
- Document systems clearly so clients can maintain and extend them after handoff
- Communicate directly with clients to gather requirements, set expectations, and explain technical tradeoffs in plain language
- 5+ years of hands-on experience building in Airtable, including advanced automation and scripting
- Demonstrated experience integrating Airtable with tools like Zapier, Make, or via native/REST APIs
- Strong process-mapping and systems-thinking skills — you can see the full workflow before you start building
- Experience designing for non-technical teams, with systems that are adopted and actually used, not abandoned
- Comfortable working independently and communicating asynchronously with distributed, remote teams
- A portfolio or examples of past Airtable automation projects you can speak to
- Experience with other no-code/low-code platforms (Notion, Make, Retool, Glide)
- Background in operations, business process consulting, or a related field
- Familiarity with JavaScript beyond Airtable's scripting block
- Experience working with global clients in a consulting/freelance capacity
