About the role
Overview:
Client’s Digital Media Voice of Customer team is seeking a highly versatile contractor to design, implement, and maintain robust data workflows that enable structured intake, transformation, integration, and reporting of customer feedback and related datasets. While our current environment leverages Airtable, future work may involve additional platforms. You should bring strong data operations experience, expertise with ETL pipelines, and the ability to quickly learn and deploy new tools. You will be the go-to resource for data architecture, ingestion, transformation, integration, and QA. You will need to ensure data is accurate, accessible, and ready for use in analytics, reporting, and decision-making.
Responsibilities:
Data Architecture & Schema Design: Design scalable relational and/or non-relational database schemas for structured and unstructured datasets; define tables, relationships, metadata standards, and naming conventions to maximize clarity and future scalability; establish data governance rules and documentation.
Data Ingestion, Transformation & Pipelines: Develop and manage ETL/ELT workflows to pull data from various sources (APIs, CSVs, SaaS platforms, cloud storage) using both automated and manual methods; perform data cleaning, normalization, deduplication, and enrichment; prepare datasets for migration to new platforms, ensuring structural and semantic consistency; automate recurring data ingestion and transformation processes when possible.
Platform & System Implementation: Support new software/platform rollouts by preparing data for ingestion, testing migrations, and validating results; configure platform-specific data models, permissions, and workflows; assist with vendor coordination and implementation timelines.
Workflow Automation & Integration: Build and maintain automations to streamline manual processes (status updates, notifications, custom calculations); integrate disparate platforms (e.g., Airtable, MS 365, SFDC, BI tools) via native connectors, middleware (Zapier, Power Automate, etc.), or APIs; create alerts, validation rules, and monitoring dashboards to ensure data quality.
Quality Assurance & Maintenance: Conduct regular QA checks for data integrity, completeness, and compliance; troubleshoot schema, automation, and integration issues; maintain version control for workflows and pipelines.
Stakeholder Collaboration: Partner with Voice of Customer, operations, and product teams to gather requirements and align workflows when needed; provide training and support to internal users on Airtable features and best practices; contribute to knowledge base and onboarding materials.

You have full lifecycle experience: from designing schemas and pipelines to QA and post-launch support
You can handle large datasets confidently, without sacrificing accuracy or performance

You’re able to pivot quickly when platforms change, requirements shift, or new data sources emerge

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
