In this series, we’ll look at how a Notion consultant would plan out the first month of work with a client based on their Notion job requirements.
Job Requirements
Job Description
We’re looking for someone who’s an expert in both Notion and Zapier (or Make).
We have internal processes that we want to increase efficiency by leveraging Notion but we’ve hit a ceiling in what we can do.
The person we’re looking for has essentially done it all in both Notion while leveraging Zapier and knows all of the answers.
Your role is to be inquisitive about our current processes and our ultimate goal and provide detailed recommendations on how you can make it better.
Experience working on improving Marketing systems is a bonus.
Looking forward to hearing from you and reviewing your examples.
p.s. candidates who record a Loom video walkthrough of complex systems you’ve built using Notion and Zapier will get prioritized.
