About Atlan

Data is at the core of modern business, yet many teams struggle with its overwhelming volume and complexity. At Atlan, we’re changing that. As the world’s first active metadata platform, we help organisations transform data chaos into clarity and seamless collaboration.

From Fortune 500 leaders to hyper-growth startups, from automotive innovators redefining mobility to healthcare organisations saving lives, and from Wall Street powerhouses to Silicon Valley trailblazers — we empower ambitious teams across industries to unlock the full potential of their data.

Recognised as leaders by Gartner and Forrester and backed by Insight Partners, Atlan is at the forefront of reimagining how humans and data work together. Joining us means becoming part of a movement to shape a future where data drives extraordinary outcomes.

Position Overview

At Atlan, we're building the future of data collaboration — and we need an exceptional People Ops Coordinator to help us scale with excellence.

You’ll be the operational backbone of the People team: coordinating employee lifecycle processes, maintaining clean HR data, and ensuring teammates get the right support at the right time. You’ll work mid-shift hours to collaborate with our global People and Talent teams, and bring empathy, rigor, and follow-through to every touchpoint.

We're an AI-native team — we use tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Zapier to reduce busywork and move fast. We expect you to experiment and build with them too.

While we are remote-first, preferred geography is Bangalore, to have occasional in-person collaboration with our local team. This role requires East Coast business hours (5:30pm - 2:30am IST) to enable collaboration across our global teams in EMEA, India, and the US.

What you’ll do

• Own backend coordination of onboarding, offboarding, and internal changes across global regions
• Maintain clean, up-to-date records in our HRIS and documentation systems
• Support lifecycle events such as confirmations, exits, letters, system access, and compliance
• Partner with Talent and IT to ensure smooth transitions between stages of the employee journey
• Identify and fix small process glitches before they become big ones
• Use AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Sheets + Zapier) to reduce manual work, automate routine tasks, and improve team velocity

What you’ll bring

• At least 2 years of experience in People Ops, HR coordination, or a related operations role
• Experience supporting HR or employee-facing workflows (vs. Talent Ops)
• A knack for systems thinking: you love untangling messy processes and building smarter ones
• Detail-obsessed: you catch what others miss and don’t drop balls
• Strong async communication and ownership mindset
• A mindset geared toward scale: you’re always asking, “Will this still work when we’re twice the size?”
• Comfort with tools like Google Sheets, Slack, and HR systems; bonus for HiBob, Ashby, ATS, Zapier, or other AI tools
• Curiosity and fluency with AI tools — you use them not just for formatting, but for thinking, writing, and building
• Based in India, with a preference for Bangalore (to occasionally collaborate in person with our HR team)
• Experience supporting HR or employee lifecycle workflows in distributed, cross-timezone teams

Why Atlan for You?
