People Operations Specialist

Attio is the CRM built for the AI era. Designed for the most ambitious go-to-market teams, it gives companies the power to understand every customer, automate at scale, and build their go-to-market motion exactly as they need. We've raised $116M from some of the world's best investors: GV (Google Ventures), Redpoint, Balderton, Point Nine, and 01A.

We hire builders who thrive on complex technical challenges, hold themselves to a high bar, and genuinely care about delighting the people who use what they build. The team here brings sharp judgement, real craft, and the drive to do exceptional work. We're obsessed about the details and energized by the frontier.

If you want to do the best work of your career, this is the right place.

Our Operations team builds the machine that lets us move faster than anyone else. We think critically, act decisively, and lay the foundations for scale — from systems and tooling to compliance and culture. We’re not just keeping the lights on; we’re redefining what great looks like behind the scenes as we scale Attio meaningfully, sustainably, and at pace.

As a People Operations Specialist, you’ll support the day-to-day delivery of People Operations as Attio continues to scale. You’ll help maintain the systems, processes, and operational foundations that support our people, ensuring onboarding, payroll coordination, and employee lifecycle processes run smoothly across multiple geographies.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys organisation, problem-solving, and building efficient processes. You’ll work closely with teams such as Finance and Talent, gaining exposure to how People Operations enables a fast-growing company. This is a great opportunity for someone with 2-4 years of experience in People Operations who’s eager to learn, contribute, and continue developing their craft as the business scales.
