Graduate Associate, Operations

About the role

Attio is the CRM built for the AI era, and this Graduate Associate in Operations is tasked with powering the engine behind that vision. You will own the systems and workflows that let ambitious go-to-market teams understand every customer and automate at scale. This role demands high-agency problem solvers who build the operational backbone so others can move at the frontier of their category. You will work closely with engineering and leadership to turn messy, high-stakes problems into reliable, day-to-day systems. Your work will directly support a platform serving 30,000 customers across 130 countries and growing fast. If you thrive on complex technical challenges and care deeply about the details, this is your opportunity to define how Attio operates.

Key facts

• Build the systems, tools and automations that make Attio run, then watch people use them every day.
