People Operations Manager

At any given time 16 million Americans are experiencing a crisis that requires urgent help from our legal system or government. The right assistance could transform their lives. But today most never get it.

Atticus makes it easy for any sick or injured American to get life-changing aid. Our mission is to tear down barriers between people in crisis and the aid they deserve. In the last six years we’ve become the leading platform connecting people with disabilities to government benefits.

We also help victims of accidents misconduct and violence get compensation from insurance. So far we’ve helped hundreds of thousands of people access over $10 billion in life-changing aid —and earned over 20000 five-star reviews. And we’re just getting started.

We've raised more than $100 million from top VC firms like Fika Forerunner Google Ventures and True Ventures and we’re on our way to creating a category defining business assisting needy Americans.

In the next two years we aim to help over 250000 Americans get access to life changing benefits. Our People team is core to that goal; to make it happen we’ll need a values-driven and high-performing organization where great work gets done.

We’re looking for a People Operations leader to join us. This individual contributor role will sit at the center of how we hire onboard and support our people with ownership over the systems and processes that make Atticus a great place to work. You’ll help define our benefits offerings as we evolve streamline our people technology and processes and improve our employee experience. You'll report directly to the Head of People and join a small high-ownership team that cares deeply about our mission and having tangible impact.

What You’ll Do

• Own core people operations areas: onboarding offboarding policy / leave administration benefits payroll and compliance

• Manage benefits end-to-end — employee support leave management lead open enrollment manage vendor relationships and benchmarking to keep our offerings competitive.

• Design and execute our HRIS operations so that personnel information is always updated; manage our current system evaluate options and own HRIS migration when the time comes.

• Own our PEO relationship managing the day-to-day relationship and ensuring smooth payroll and compliance across all states.

• Manage people reporting and data (headcount attrition and more) to help our team and stakeholders make good decisions.

• Evolve our people policies to be current accessible and useful and be a resource for managers navigating benefits people policy leave and HR system questions

• Experience with HRIS systems and PEOs; migration experience is a plus

• Solid grasp of multi-state employment compliance

• Builder's mindset – you delight in improving messy process to get to better outcomes

• Low ego high ownership — you're comfortable doing the work and not just directing it

• Comfortable operating in the gray — we believe in low(er) process and high judgment so we don't have rigid policies for every case. This role requires applying good judgment and care when the answer isn't obvious.

The role is a rare opportunity to join a fast-growing Series C startup that doubles as a B-corp social enterprise. Our team is still small enough for you to have an outsized impact on how we operate and how our people experience unfolds.

We offer competitive pay — including equity — and generous benefits:

• Medical and dental insurance with 100% of employee and family premiums covered

• 15 vacation days & ~20 paid holidays each year (including two weeks at end-of-year)

We anticipate the base salary band for this role will be between $130000 to $160000 in addition to equity and benefits. The salary at offer will be determined by a number of factors such as candidate’s experience knowledge skills and abilities as well as internal equity among our team.

This job is fully remote and we’re committed to empowering everyone with flexibility. Work remotely and travel to LA (on the company dime) as needed to be with your colleagues – usually quarterly plus offsites. We care a lot about building a great culture and we think some interactions need to happen in person so we put a lot of thought into retreats offsites and other ways to gather.
