Smooth Media is an agency built for knowledge creators — those who educate and inspire their audiences through thoughtful, insightful content. We help them grow sustainable, long-term businesses, and help brands plug into this world in a way that's smart, strategic, and impactful.

We've put real work into building internal systems that are efficient and modern — and we're not done. We have a running list of projects and ideas to make us even faster, smarter, and better, and we need someone to help us build them.

We're starting project-based, but if the fit is there on both sides, we'd love to grow this into something bigger.

What you'll do:

• Map and automate internal workflows — understand how we operate and build automations in that remove manual, repetitive work across our team
• Connect our tools — we run on Notion and Airtable; your job is to improve how they’re all talking to each other and to the rest of our stack
• Build AI-powered workflows — integrate Claude or other LLM APIs into our processes to help us move faster
• Ship fast, iterate faster — we're not looking for perfect; we're looking for useful. Build things we can test, learn from, and improve
• Document what you build — leave us with systems we can understand, maintain, and build on

‍

What we're looking for:

• You've built automations before
• You know Notion and Airtable well
• You're comfortable with AI APIs — you've worked with Claude, OpenAI, or similar APIs and know how to build useful, practical integrations
• You communicate clearly — this is async-friendly work, but you'll need to write clearly, flag blockers early, and check in regularly

‍

What we can offer:

• Competitive project-based or hourly rate, depending on scope
• A team that's bought in — we want this to work and will give you the context and access you need
• Building internal tech + processes used by our team and roster of 60+ leading tech creators
• Potential for an ongoing relationship as we continue to build
