About TaskRabbit

About the role

Every business function at Taskrabbit — Marketing, Customer Support, Finance, Operations — is a "customer" with real workflows, real data, and real friction. Your job is to embed with them, scope their use cases, and build the Claude-powered agent, automation, or tool that solves them.

What they're looking for

  • Business partnership: Track record embedding with non-technical teams, running discovery, and converting workflows into scoped builds — including the judgment to say no to AI when it's not the right fix
  • Enablement mindset: You've built capability in other people, not just built things for them
  • High empathy: Adept at sitting with a skeptical or overwhelmed team member long enough to actually understand their workflows, not just extract requirements
  • Stakeholder influence: Comfortable presenting to and moving senior leaders and frontline teams alike
  • Impact measurement: Data-driven by default — you define baselines and metrics from scratch and translate results into business terms
  • Builder mindset: Scrappy, self-directed, comfortable operating without dedicated engineering support in a fast-paced, resource-constrained environment
