Airtable Operations Manager
About the Role
Our client, a leading global travel technology marketplace, is looking for an Airtable Operations Manager to join its business technology team. This team builds the systems and tooling that power supply acquisition, vetting, and optimization across the business, working closely with product, engineering, and operations partners. You will own a large portfolio of Airtable bases (45 to 50), serving as the go-to expert for architecture, automation, and reporting. A key part of the role is advising on when workflows should scale beyond Airtable into internal systems. The team moves fast, priorities shift day to day, and you will have real influence on how tooling evolves.
What You Will Do
Partner with cross-functional business stakeholders to gather and prioritize tooling requirements and translate them into scalable Airtable solutions
Design and build custom Airtable interfaces for fast, self-serve reporting
Maintain and optimize a large portfolio of existing Airtable bases, including troubleshooting data discrepancies flowing in from core systems
Build automations and scripts connecting Airtable with low-code and no-code tools such as n8n, Tray.ai, or Workato
Manage the full project lifecycle: requirements gathering, solution development, testing, deployment, and performance reporting
Advise on Airtable architecture and guide decisions on when to graduate workflows off Airtable into the internal codebase
Help address a tech debt backlog and monitor prototypes and experimental use cases to evaluate readiness to scale
Must Haves:
Your Expertise:
6+ years of work experience in technology, operations, or consulting
Deep Airtable mastery: schema design, automations, scripting, interfaces, and syncs; able to reverse-engineer large, undocumented bases quickly
Strong architecture instincts: scalable base design and knowing when data belongs in Airtable versus a warehouse or CRM
Hands-on coding ability in JavaScript or Node.js (Python acceptable) with SQL fluency
Production-quality low-code or no-code integration experience (Tray.ai, n8n, Workato, or similar)
Experience managing large cross-functional projects, including use case identification, team onboarding, and technical support
Comfortable with ambiguity; self-sufficient in fast-moving environments with minimal documentation
Excellent written and oral communication; strong cross-functional collaborator
Preferred Qualifications:
Airtable AI experience; an AI-first or AI-fluent way of working
Familiarity with Salesforce, Retool, or similar CRM and ops platforms
Domain familiarity with sales pipelines and CRM, media operations, QA/QMS, or vetting and licensing workflows
Master's degree
Key Details
Location: Remote, US based
Start Date: July 2026
Duration: 9-month contract with strong potential for extension based on performance and business need
Work Schedule: Full-time, 40 hours per week. PST work hours required
Pay Rate Range: $70.00 to $80.00 per hour (W2)
