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.. . What You'll Do. . . . 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. . . . What You Bring. . . . 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. . . . Nice to Have. . . . 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. . . . . RATE: $80-$105/hr. USD. . . .
