Lead, People Operations - Atticus

About the Role

In the next two years, Atticus aims to help over 250,000 Americans get access to life-changing benefits. Behind that impact is a remarkable group of people — attorneys, engineers, client advocates, marketers, product managers, and more. The Atticus People team makes that work possible by building the systems, policies, and operations that enable everyone to do their best work.

We’re hiring a People Operations Lead to run the backbone of our People function: benefits, systems, payroll, multi-state compliance through our PEO, people policy, and our performance and merit cycles. You’ll be the day-to-day owner of how this work gets done — managing our vendors, keeping us compliant as we grow, running our cycles cleanly, and improving the employee experience at every touchpoint. You’ll also play a central role in strategic decisions — when and how we leave our PEO, how we replace our HRIS, and how our policies and benefits should evolve.

You’ll report to our Head of People and join a small, high-ownership team that cares deeply about our mission and having real impact.

Who You Are

• 5+ years in People Operations at a venture-backed tech company, with hands-on ownership across benefits, HRIS, payroll, compliance, performance cycles, and policies.
• Equally comfortable running a benefits analysis as you are having a tough leave conversation, handling both with tact and clarity.
• Demonstrated experience administering an HRIS end-to-end, managing People vendors, and driving system implementations or migrations.
• Proven track record of automating and improving HR processes to be more efficient, accurate, and seamless.
• Low ego with high ownership — comfortable both doing the tactical work and figuring out how it can be improved.

Salary and Benefits

• Base salary band: $120,000 – $160,000 + equity
• Medical and dental insurance with 100% of employee and family premiums covered
• 15 vacation days & ~20 paid holidays each year (including two weeks at year-end)
• Free membership to OneMedical
• $600/year internet stipend
• $1,000 reimbursable stipend for education and training
• Up to $1,200/year student loan repayment assistance
• 401(k) and optional HSA/FSA

Location & Travel

This job is remote-first. Work remotely and travel to Los Angeles as needed for quarterly team gatherings and retreats (all expenses covered by the company).
