- Workflow issues and data-quality concerns are identified and resolved quickly
- Automation reduces manual effort and improves operational efficiency
- Workflow, client-configuration, and SOP documentation remains clear and up to date
- Internal teams and vendor partners have the information they need to support smooth delivery
What Will Help You Succeed
- Experience or strong interest in workflow automation, systems configuration, process improvement, or operational tooling
- Familiarity with n8n, Make, Zapier, Power Automate, Google Apps Script, or similar workflow-automation tools
- Comfort working with APIs, webhooks, spreadsheets, structured data, or system integrations
- Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, with close attention to detail and data quality
- Ability to turn a non-technical operational need into a clear, repeatable workflow
- Experience documenting processes, writing SOPs, or maintaining operational configurations
- Clear written and verbal communication skills with technical and non-technical stakeholders
