Solutions Specialist

About the Role

We are looking for a Solutions Specialist who will focus primarily on building, automating, and maintaining solutions within the Smartly platform and Google Apps Script environment. This role is ideal for someone with strong technical curiosity, solid scripting fundamentals, and the ability to quickly learn digital marketing concepts. You’ll partner closely with internal teams and clients to translate business requirements into scalable, efficient workflows.

This is a hands-on technical role where you will create custom automations, troubleshoot complex issues, and guide clients on how best to leverage Smartly’s capabilities.

• Develop and optimize Google Apps Script solutions to support data processing, validation, reporting, and operational automation.

Troubleshooting & Quality Assurance

• Diagnose and resolve issues across scripts, APIs, and Smartly workflows—even when information is incomplete.
• Perform thorough QA and testing to ensure reliability, performance, and error handling.
