About This Role:
We’re hiring a Notion Systems & Integrations Specialist to clean up, standardize, and systematize our Notion workspace used across recruiting, sales, and operations. This is a project-driven role with clearly defined phases, focused on execution, optimization, and sustainable workflows—not open-ended experimentation.
You’ll work closely with leadership to translate real operational needs into structured, scalable Notion systems.

Outcomes:
- Clear internal documentation (how-to guides, Looms, or SOPs)

- Google Drive, PandaDoc, Docusign
- Stripe, QuickBooks Online (basic integration support)
- ATS tools (e.g., Manatal)

Qualifications:
