People Operations Partner

Attio is on a mission to redefine CRM for the AI era.

We’re building the first AI-native CRM — designed for the most ambitious go-to-market teams. We recently announced our $52M Series B, led by GV (Google Ventures), with support from Redpoint, Balderton, Point Nine, and 01A. Our team thrives on solving complex technical challenges, delighting our users, and setting a new standard for the industry.

What you'll do

• Enable People Operations at scale: Be a key enabler of the systems, processes, and operational backbone that support Attio as we double headcount over the next 12 months — and continue to scale ambitiously thereafter — ensuring growth is smooth, compliant, and sustainable.

• Enable seamless onboarding and offboarding globally: Support and continuously improve end-to-end onboarding and offboarding experiences that are consistent, compliant, and high-quality across regions.

• Enable and optimise People systems: Play a key role in enabling and improving our core People tooling (including HiBob, Ashby, Sequoia and Carta), ensuring data accuracy, reliability, and automation that reduces manual work and friction.

• Partner closely with Finance on payroll and operations: Act as a trusted partner to Finance to support payroll inputs, PTO administration, and operational workflows, strengthening cross-functional collaboration.

• Enable pragmatic multi-jurisdiction compliance: Support People Ops compliance across regions (UK & Ireland, Germany, Poland, Portugal, and the US), balancing local requirements with simple, scalable global processes.

• Enable employees through trusted HR support: Serve as a key point of contact for day-to-day People Ops and HR queries, providing clear, timely, and pragmatic guidance.

• Drive automation, clarity, and operational excellence: Identify opportunities to automate, simplify, and scale workflows, documentation, and playbooks as the business grows.

• Collaborate cross-functionally to enable growth: Work closely with People, Talent, Finance, Legal, and leaders across the business to ensure People Operations remains aligned and enabling as Attio evolves.

What you’ll bring

• Systems and process fluency: A proven ability to enable, optimise, and scale People Ops systems and workflows.
