Role Introduction

Mentor A Promise (MAP) is seeking an experienced Google Workspace Automation Lead to join

PromiseShield (Manage IT, Security & Privacy) and design, build, and maintain automated

solutions across our Google Workspace environment.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role for someone who can leverage Google Apps Script,

Google Workspace APIs, and no-code/low-code integration tools to streamline administrative

operations and programmatic workflows.

The successful candidate will be a skilled developer or automation engineer with deep expertise

in Google Workspace extensibility and custom software integration.

What You'll Do

• Design and deploy automated workflows using Google Apps Script, Google Workspace APIs, and AppSheet to streamline internal processes.
• Automate user lifecycle actions including onboarding, offboarding, group provisioning, and permission management within Google Admin Console.
• Integrate Google Workspace applications (Drive, Docs, Sheets, Gmail, Forms, Calendar) with external SaaS platforms and databases via REST APIs and webhooks.
• Establish coding standards, version control practices, and documentation for all internal automation scripts and custom tools.
• Identify operational bottlenecks across organizational divisions and propose automated solutions to increase efficiency.
• Maintain and troubleshoot existing Google Apps Scripts and automated triggers to ensure system reliability and uptime.
• Collaborate with the Google Workspace Manager and IT Leadership to ensure automations adhere to security, access control, and privacy policies.

What We're Looking For

Strong candidates will bring:

• Proven hands-on experience building custom scripts and automations using Google Apps Script and JavaScript/TypeScript.
• In-depth understanding of Google Workspace REST APIs (Directory API, Drive API, Gmail API, Sheets API) and OAuth 2.0 authentication.
• Strong experience connecting Google Workspace with third-party tools via webhooks or integration platforms (e.g., Zapier, Make, n8n).
• Background in version control (e.g., Git, GitHub) and writing maintainable, clean code with complete technical documentation.
• Demonstrated problem-solving skills with the ability to translate operational requirements into technical automation workflows.

Experience in one or more of the following areas is especially valuable:

• Nonprofit or mission-driven organizations
• Education or youth-focused organizations
• Experience leveraging AI tools (e.g., Gemini, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot) to accelerate code generation and workflow development
• Experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) service accounts and Cloud Functions

The Google Workspace Automation Lead reports to the Director - IT and works closely with the

Google Workspace Manager, Systems Administrators, and division leads across Mentor A

Promise.
