What You’ll Do

Work with company leadership to help improve our tech stack, processes, and systems across our departments, including but not limited to : diagnosing areas of improvement, identifying new software, layering AI with existing software, and hiring and managing contractors for some process improvement components.

Website

• Streamline and automate the web posting process of our Content Team
• Manage WordPress (or a similar CMS) and continually improve site speed, Core Web Vitals, and internal linking
• Conduct content analytics, keyword research, and SEO to increase web traffic

Company-Wide Process Automation

• Map manual workflows, such as survey-to-CRM, lead-enrichment, podcast syndication, and deliver no-code or low-code solutions using Zapier, Make.com, n8n, or GPT-powered scripts.
• Prototype lightweight Python or SQL jobs when no-code falls short, supervising freelance developers or data engineers for complex tasks.
• Document processes and identify automation opportunities throughout the company
• Manage GA4, Google Tag Manager, and Looker Studio dashboards : set up events, goals, and attribution models.
• Deploy heat-map or session-recording tools (Hotjar, Clarity) and translate insights into conversion optimization tests.

Implement AI solutions

Leadership & Governance

• Advise leadership on tech stack decisions, security, and vendor selection as Umbrex’s most technical voice.
• Run quarterly automation audits to prioritize new opportunities and retire redundant tools.
• Cultivate a culture of continuous improvement by celebrating the elimination of manual steps.

What You’ll Bring

• Hands-on experience with MarTech and automation—integrating WordPress APIs, email authentication, Zapier, or Make scenarios that save hours.
• Data fluency—querying, visualizing, and storytelling with metrics.
• Curiosity about AI—experience with LLM APIs or low-code AI tools to streamline text-heavy tasks.
• Team leadership—coaching junior implementers and translating technical ideas for non-technical colleagues.
• Process obsession—creating SOPs, checklists, and Loom videos effortlessly.
