Executive HRBP
Job Summary
IQM is seeking an Executive HR Business Partner to own and evolve the people function for our US-based teams. This role is hybrid, with team members expected to work one to two days per week in person at one of the office locations in either NY/DC.
About the Role
This is a builder role, not a maintenance role. Our HR function is young, the business is moving fast, and we need someone who can take what exists and make it something that scales. As part of an AI-first organization, you’ll leverage modern HR tooling and data-driven platforms to raise the bar on how we recruit, develop, and retain talent.
What You’ll Do
Partner with executive leadership on workforce strategy, org design, and people planning to build and mature IQM’s HR infrastructure.
Mentor junior HR and TA staff, and own the people analytics layer beyond our current HRIS — attrition, retention by tenure, time-to-fill, engagement, and manager effectiveness.
Design and manage IQM’s compensation structures — salary bands, leveling frameworks, and pay equity practices. Partner with Finance on benchmarking, annual review cycles, and offer strategy to ensure our total rewards approach is competitive, equitable, and built to scale.
Own employee relations across US teams, including investigations, disciplinary processes, performance concerns, and terminations, with fairness, consistency, and legal rigor.
Build and champion a culture of inclusion, accountability, and psychological safety, and design engagement initiatives with measurable outcomes.
Act as a cultural steward ensuring IQM’s values are embedded consistently across US teams today, and with a mindset toward global cohesion as we scale.
Build and lead performance review cycles, goal-setting frameworks, and feedback processes. Establish PIP and development plan frameworks, and create manager effectiveness programs that elevate leadership capability across the org.
Collaborate with the TA team on workforce planning, role scoping, headcount strategy, and onboarding design.
Ensure IQM remains fully compliant with federal, state, and local employment laws. Own the US employee handbook and HR policy framework, identify compliance risks proactively, and partner with Legal on employment matters, leave administration, and accommodations.
Who You Are
7–12 years of progressive HR experience, with significant time in a senior HRBP, HR Manager, or HR Director capacity.
Track record of building and scaling HR functions in high-growth tech or AdTech environments.
Deep expertise in employee relations, compensation design, and US employment law.
Analytical fluency — able to connect people programs to business outcomes and present data to leadership.
Demonstrated ability to leverage modern HRIS and AI-driven HR tools to scale operations.
Proven ability to mentor and develop junior HR professionals.
Comfortable operating in ambiguity and creating structure where little exists.
Qualifications
Experience in AdTech, SaaS, or a similarly fast-paced, regulated industry.
Familiarity with US + India distributed team dynamics.
Experience navigating organizational change or rapid team scaling.
Track record applying AI-driven recruitment and performance tools at scale.
HR certification (SHRM-SCP, SPHR, or equivalent).
