We already use numerous business software platforms and AI tools. Our goal is to connect these systems, eliminate unnecessary manual processes, and make our employees significantly more productive. We are not looking for an AI consultant who tells us what we could automate. We are looking for someone who actually builds the automations.

Areas of responsibility include Sales & CRM Automate Salesforce reporting, opportunity updates, follow-up reminders, and pipeline tracking.

Finance & Accounting Help automate reporting, reconciliations, invoice processing, and exception identification.

E-Commerce & Operations Connect Shopify, order management, inventory, fulfillment, and reporting platforms. Automate inventory alerts, order exception reports, and operational notifications. Reduce manual data entry and duplicate work between systems. Marketing, Brand & Events Automate event tracking, registration reporting, campaign reporting, and administrative workflows. Organize information from meetings, emails, and project management tools. Help departments track responsibilities, deadlines, and completed work. AI Implementation Build practical workflows using ChatGPT, Claude, Make, Zapier, n8n, Workato, or similar platforms. Connect applications through APIs, webhooks, and other integration methods. Implement AI assistants and automated reporting tools that employees can use every day. Train employees on completed automations and document how they work.

What We're Looking For
Proven experience implementing business automation in a real operating company. Strong working knowledge of AI tools, workflow automation, APIs, and software integrations. Experience with platforms such as Salesforce, Shopify, Google Workspace, Slack, or comparable business systems. Ability to understand a manual business process and independently design and implement a better solution. Practical technical skills, including scripting when existing automation tools aren't sufficient. Strong communication skills and the ability to work directly with nontechnical employees. A track record of delivering reliable automations that save time or improve business results. Understanding of data security, permissions, and the importance of human approval for sensitive business actions. What Success Looks Like During the first 30 days, you will meet with department leaders, identify the highest-value automation opportunities, and put your first working automations into production. Within 60 days, we expect measurable reductions in manual work across multiple departments. Within 90 days, we expect a documented portfolio of functioning automations, with demonstrated time savings, improved reporting accuracy, and clear employee adoption. Every project should have a measurable business result. Who Will Succeed Here You are curious, resourceful, technically capable, and comfortable working independently. You enjoy finding inefficient processes and building solutions that employees actually use. You are equally comfortable speaking with a finance manager, sales manager, or warehouse operations team. You know when a straightforward automation is better than a complicated AI solution. Most importantly, you finish what you start.
How to Apply
Please provide Two or three examples of automations you personally built for real businesses. The software platforms you connected and the measurable results achieved. Your experience with Salesforce, Shopify, financial systems, and AI tools. Your hourly rate and weekly availability. Qualified applicants may be asked to complete a short, paid practical assessment. Individual contractors preferred. No staffing agencies or consulting firms.
