Job description

Built for consumers and companies, alike. In a world driven by data, we believe consumers and businesses can coexist. Our founders had a vision to empower consumers to leverage their greatest asset—their data—in exchange for modern financial services. Built with this vision in mind, our platform allows consumers to access savings tools, earned wages and rewards without cost or hidden fees. In exchange, they give permission to use their real‑time data for research, insights and targeted advertising.

At Attain, your contribution will help us build a more equitable and efficient data sharing ecosystem—whether helping consumers access modern financial services or businesses leverage data to achieve better outcomes. You'll have the opportunity to work directly with hands‑on leaders and mission‑driven individuals everyday.

About the Role

Attain is looking for an organized, employee‑oriented Office Administrator & People Partner to support our People Operations team and help keep our Chicago office running smoothly. You'll wear two hats: supporting the employee experience through onboarding, benefits, and administrative tasks, and keeping our office operations comfortable and efficient.

In this role, you'll help coordinate new hire onboarding, assist with benefits administration, maintain employee records, support compliance activities, manage office supplies and lunch ordering, and be a friendly point of contact for employee questions. You'll work closely with People Operations, Finance, and employees to ensure everyone has what they need to do their best work.

The ideal candidate is organized and detail‑oriented, with strong people skills. You're proactive, reliable, and good at juggling multiple priorities. You handle sensitive information with discretion and take pride in making the office a great place to work.

This role will be based out of our office in Chicago, IL and require in‑person work on a hybrid schedule (4‑days per week in office). We are currently targeting talent that’s based in the Chicago area and not offering relocation at this time. Thank you for understanding!
