About the role
About Us:
Notion State is a premier Notion consultancy and direct Notion partner serving SMB and enterprise clients. Our portfolio includes Affirm, Polymarket, Articulate, Typeform, Notion themselves, and many others. Notion expertise is table stakes. What sets us apart is how we show up - as embedded operational partners across strategy, design, implementation, change management, and the AI layer that increasingly sits on top of all of it. We aspire to be our clients' full-scope operations experts.
The Role:
We're hiring a Notion Consultant to work directly with our clients as a 1099 independent contractor. Fully remote. You'll own discovery, design, build, training, and ongoing support across your assigned engagements. Our average client relationship is 11 months, so this is relationship work, not project work. You manage the arc. As an independent contractor, you control the manner, means, timing, and location of your work, subject to client deadlines, meeting commitments, and agreed deliverables.
What You'll Do:
- Discovery & requirements. Lead discovery sessions, stakeholder interviews, and workshops. Translate goals into documented requirements, priorities, dependencies, and acceptance criteria.
- Solution architecture. Design workspace structures, database models, permissions, dashboards, and navigation patterns that scale with the client's operating model.
- Build & implementation. Build and customize Notion systems — workspaces, databases, dashboards, formulas, native automations, agents, and migrations. Test before handoff.
- AI & agents. Design, build, and deploy Notion agents and AI-enabled workflows inside client systems. Identify where AI genuinely accelerates the client's operations and where it doesn't. Document agent behavior, dependencies, and use cases so clients can maintain and extend them.
- Training & enablement. Run client training sessions and workshops. Create documentation, onboarding materials, best-practice guides, and Loom walkthroughs tailored to the client's technical proficiency.
- Client communication. Serve as the assigned client-facing contact. Run meetings, send recaps, manage expectations, surface risks early.
- Support & optimization. Resolve client questions and issues through written guidance, Supercut videos, or lightweight updates. For complex issues, scope options and align before proceeding.
- Delivery coordination. Use NS systems to track work, document decisions, and provide reasonable status visibility on completed work, next steps, and blockers.
- Skills You'll Need to Bring 3+ years of client-facing experience in consulting or professional services

- Complex database design and relational structures
- Workspace architecture and permissions management
- Native automation and formula creation

- Strong communication and presentation skills with C-level executives
- Experience in process improvement and workflow optimization

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.
