We’re bringing someone on in a part-time backend/automation role to support our operations, systems, and internal tech infrastructure across the entire company.
Preferably US-based, but we’re open if you’re the right fit.
Important:
If you reach out via social media DMs, email, or Slack instead of following the application steps… you’re automatically disqualified.
Role Overview
We’re looking for a smart, detail-oriented Automation & Systems Specialist who can architect, maintain, and improve the workflows that power our coaching company.
You don’t need decades of experience — but you do need real hands-on skill with automation platforms and the ability to think logically through complex processes.
This role directly supports:
- Client delivery
- Operations
- Marketing systems
- Internal team workflows
- Student experience systems
You will be the person who keeps our backend running fast, accurate, and reliable.
Key Responsibilities
- Build, maintain, and optimize automation workflows using Zapier, Make, and (eventually) n8n
- Create and manage advanced HubSpot workflows, custom properties, lists, triggers, and CRM logic
- Integrate and support our daily-use stack:
- Troubleshoot system issues across multiple platforms and ensure smooth data flow
- Identify manual tasks, propose automation opportunities, and implement solutions
- Support internal teams by designing clean, scalable backend processes
- Maintain accurate, consistent data between platforms (HubSpot, Circle, Slack, etc.)
- Build workflows for onboarding, student experience, coach operations, and renewal processes
- Document all systems clearly and provide simple training for internal team members
- Handle routing logic, error handling, QA testing, and workflow optimizations
Required Qualifications
- Strong working knowledge of automation tools (Zapier, Make, n8n preferred)
- Strong understanding of workflows, triggers, routing, and cross-platform data flow
- Comfortable navigating HubSpot workflows, lists, custom fields, tickets, pipelines
- Familiar with:
- Ability to read processes, diagram them, and convert logic into automations
- High attention to detail and a structured, analytical mindset
- Excellent communication (we value over-communication → trust → speed → execution)
- Ability to work independently and manage multiple active builds
Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Have)
- Prior experience supporting operations in a coaching, consulting, or education business
- Basic ability to read API documentation (GET/POST, headers, tokens)
- Experience connecting CRMs, communities, calendars, and comms tools
- Familiarity with Circle community tagging and automation logic
- Understanding of database structure, data hygiene, and naming conventions
- Comfortable using AI tools (ChatGPT/Claude) to speed up automation builds
What We Offer
- Part-time role with competitive compensation
- Flexible schedule and async-friendly communication
- Ability to work with a modern automation stack inside a fast-growing coaching company
- Your work directly impacts speed, quality, and the client experience
- High growth potential as our backend systems scale
- A team culture built on communication, trust, and execution
Before You Apply
- We value skill, logic, and problem-solving more than traditional experience
- You don’t need to code — but you must understand workflows and automation logic
- This is a builder role — ideal for someone who loves solving problems and improving systems
- Resourcefulness and curiosity are heavily valued
