• Build frameworks for how Salesforce, Workday, NetSuite, Gainsight, and Data flow into and out of AI models and decision engines

• Partner with GTM, CS, Finance, People, and Data teams to identify high impact jobs to be done and translate them into system and AI enabled solutions

• Lead architecture reviews and solution design for high stakes initiatives, ensuring choices are scalable, secure, compliant, and aligned with our long term vision

• Create standards, patterns, and governance for automation, integrations, and system to system data flows

• Build documentation, diagrams, and architectural blueprints that clarify how humans, systems, and AI work together

• Serve as a thought partner to leadership on how AI can accelerate Notion’s operations, reduce manual work, and create differentiated internal capabilities

• Six or more years in business systems architecture, enterprise architecture, or senior technical design roles

• Deep understanding of GTM, Finance, and People systems (Salesforce, Workday, NetSuite, Gainsight, iPaaS platforms) and how they interact

• Strong grounding in integration patterns, data modeling, system reliability, and scalable automation

• Ability to translate business requirements into elegant, long lasting architecture

• Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to influence across engineering, BizTech, RevOps, Data, and executive stakeholders

• Curiosity, experimental mindset, and the desire to stay ahead of the rapidly evolving AI landscape

• A bias for action paired with a high bar for technical depth and clarity

• You don’t need to be an AI expert, but you’re curious and willing to adopt AI tools to work smarter and deliver better results
