Associate, People and Operations

Altis Labs•Toronto, ON

3d•Hybrid

About The Position

Altis is looking for an Associate, People & Operations to be the backbone of how our Toronto office runs. You'll support our senior leadership team's calendars, travel, and day-to-day logistics and take ownership over how the broader operation runs: office life, team events, hiring and onboarding, and the operational odds and ends that keep a growing company moving. We're a small, fast-moving team, so we're looking for a true self-starter — someone who spots a gap and fills it and is comfortable with ambiguity. This role is hybrid, based in our Toronto office 2–3 days per week, and reports to our VP, Finance & Operations.

Requirements

3+ years supporting senior leaders in a fast-paced environment
A true self-starter with a “figure it out” attitude — you take ownership without needing a lot of direction
Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the discipline to keep multiple moving pieces on track
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Comfort supporting hiring and HR processes (e.g., scheduling interviews, onboarding new hires)
Comfort coordinating with a variety of outside vendors as needed
Comfortable leveraging AI tools to work smarter and move faster — for research, drafting, scheduling, or problem-solving
Basic familiarity with website content management systems and social media platforms, or willingness to learn
Excited to work in a small, fast-moving team where the role — and your responsibilities — will evolve as we grow
Based in the Toronto area, with the ability to work from our office 2–3 days per week
