Executive HR Business Partner
Scale the People. Build the Culture. Drive What’s Next.
IQM is redefining how modern advertisers navigate complex, highly regulated media environments. Our AI‑driven media buying platform is built to deliver smarter decision making, greater transparency, and real performance at scale where precision matters most! We’re building a team of curious and driven problem solvers who want to make an impact and help define what’s next in advertising.
Job Opportunity
IQM is seeking an Executive HR Business Partner to own and evolve the people function for our US-based teams. 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.
This role calls for a player-coach mindset — the ability to set direction and execute on it without skipping a beat. You’re not starting from scratch, but you’ll make it yours — evolving comp structures, performance programs, and people infrastructure as we grow. While your immediate focus will be the US, IQM is a global company — and this role is built with that in mind across scope, geography, and impact.
This role is hybrid, meaning team members are expected to work one to two days per week in person at one of the office locations in either NY/DC.
At this time, IQM does not sponsor new applicants for employment authorization for this position.
What You’ll Do
HR Strategy & Organizational Leadership: 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.
Compensation & Total Rewards: 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.
Employee Relations & Culture: 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.
Talent & Performance: 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.
Compliance & Risk Management: 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.
