About the role
- Lead the design and implementation of robust Airtable solutions spanning multiple teams and business processes
- Define data models, schema, and relationships (linked records, lookups, rollups, junction tables) for performance, maintainability, and reporting
- Design and build advanced Airtable Interfaces and forms that provide intuitive user experiences for contributors, approvers, and leadership stakeholders
- Translate ambiguous or high-level business requirements into structured Airtable applications and documented technical designs
- Establish and enforce patterns for dev/test/prod environments, release management, and change control for Airtable-based solutions
- Collaborate with business stakeholders to design and optimize end-to-end workflows using Airtable, automations, and connected tools
- Build advanced Airtable Automations (multi-step workflows, conditional logic, scheduled processes) to reduce manual work and improve data quality
- Leverage scripting (e.g., JavaScript) and Airtable’s scripting/automation capabilities to implement custom logic, validations, and orchestration
- Identify and deliver opportunities for standardization, reusable templates, and solution “building blocks” that can be applied across teams
- Continuously refine solutions based on feedback, metrics, and evolving business needs
- Design, implement, and maintain integrations between Airtable and third-party systems (e.g., Jira, Confluence, Productboard, Power BI, Microsoft 365, and internal platforms)
- Use APIs, integration platforms (e.g., Power Automate, n8n, or internal tools), and scripting to create reliable, observable data flows
- Proactively monitor integrations for health, performance, and data consistency; investigate and resolve failures and anomalies
- Document integration patterns, error-handling approaches, and recovery processes to enable repeatable, resilient implementations
- Partner with security, data, and platform teams to ensure integrations comply with data governance, privacy, and access control standards
- Administer complex Airtable workspaces and environments: manage user access, roles, and workspace structure in alignment with organizational policies
- Implement and manage SSO integrations and role-based access controls; support periodic access and security reviews
- Define and document best practices, policies, and standards for Airtable usage across ESE and partner teams
- Partner with security, privacy, and governance functions to ensure Airtable solutions adhere to data classification, retention, and compliance requirements
- Serve as an L3 subject matter expert for Airtable: handle complex issues that junior admins and support staff escalate
- Provide guidance to junior Airtable admins/builders on patterns, standards, and best practices
- Develop and deliver training materials, documentation, and best-practice guides for internal teams and power users
- Conduct office hours, workshops, and demos to help teams understand what’s possible and how to use Airtable solutions effectively
- Analyze performance and usage of Airtable solutions (record volume, automation runs, interface usage, integration throughput) and optimize where needed
- Develop dashboards and reporting (often using Airtable + Power BI or similar) to provide visibility into adoption, workflow performance, and business outcomes
- Support license management and workspace hygiene by identifying underused workspaces, redundant solutions, and opportunities for consolidation
- Maintain excellent documentation for active work: keep epics, user stories, and tasks up to date so status is always clear and ready for planning and reporting
- Create and maintain technical documentation, runbooks, admin SOPs, and design records for Airtable solutions and integrations
- Participate in agile team rituals (standups, planning, refinement, retrospectives) and model strong hygiene around story updates, acceptance criteria, and work breakdown
- Help define and evolve the overall Airtable development lifecycle, including standards for documentation, testing, and deployment
Requirements
- 4–6+ years of experience building and administering Airtable (or similar low-code platforms)
- Proven experience designing Airtable bases, relationships, and interfaces for complex, multi-team workflows
- Hands-on experience implementing Airtable automations and scripts to support non-trivial business logic and process flows
- Demonstrated experience integrating Airtable with other enterprise tools (e.g., Microsoft 365, Jira, Confluence, HRIS, Productboard, BI tools) using APIs or integration platforms
- Experience leading end-to-end delivery of Airtable-based solutions: requirements, design, build, test, rollout, and ongoing optimization
- Strong background in end-user support, training, and documentation for business-facing systems
- Familiarity with security and compliance standards, including data governance and access control measures in a corporate environment
