Job description

Executive HR Business Partner

Our client a fast-scaling AdTech company operating in a highly regulated advertising vertical is seeking an Executive HR Business Partner to own and evolve the people function for its US-based teams. This is a builder role, not a maintenance role: the HR function is young, the business is moving fast, and the company needs someone who can take what exists and scale it. As an AI-first organization, the team leverages modern HR tooling and data-driven platforms to raise the bar on recruiting, development, and retention.

This role calls for a player-coach mindset someone who can set direction and execute without skipping a beat. The immediate focus is the US, but the company operates globally, and the role is scoped with that in mind.

This is a hybrid role, requiring 12 days per week in-office at a location in NY or DC. At this time, our client does not sponsor employment visas for this position.

What You'll Do

  • HR Strategy & Organizational Leadership Partner with executive leadership on workforce strategy, org design, and people planning. Mentor junior HR and TA staff; own the people analytics layer beyond the current HRIS (attrition, retention by tenure, time-to-fill, engagement, manager effectiveness).
  • Compensation & Total Rewards Design and manage compensation structures: salary bands, leveling frameworks, and pay equity practices. Partner with Finance on benchmarking, annual review cycles, and offer strategy.
  • Employee Relations & Culture Own employee relations across US teams, including investigations, disciplinary processes, performance concerns, and terminations. Build a culture of inclusion, accountability, and psychological safety; design engagement initiatives with measurable outcomes.
  • Talent & Performance Build and lead performance review cycles, goal-setting frameworks, and feedback processes. Establish PIP and development plan frameworks; create manager effectiveness programs. Partner with TA on workforce planning, role scoping, headcount strategy, and onboarding design.
  • Compliance & Risk Management Ensure full compliance with federal, state, and local employment law. Own the US employee handbook and HR policy framework; partner with Legal on employment matters, leave administration, and accommodations.

Who You Are

  • 712 years of progressive HR experience, including significant time as a senior HRBP, HR Manager, or HR Director.
  • 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.
  • Proven ability to leverage modern HRIS and AI-driven HR tools to scale operations.
  • Demonstrated ability to mentor and develop junior HR professionals.
  • Comfortable operating in ambiguity and building structure where little exists.

Nice to Have

  • Experience in AdTech, SaaS, or a similarly fast-paced, regulated industry.
  • Familiarity with distributed, global team dynamics.
  • Track record applying AI-driven recruitment and performance tools at scale.
  • Experience navigating organizational change or rapid team scaling.
  • HR certification (SHRM-SCP, SPHR, or equivalent).

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary: $150,000$185,000, plus a competitive total compensation package that may include performance-based incentives and equity participation. Additional benefits include:

  • 100% employer-paid healthcare premiums
  • Multiple medical plan options plus dental and vision coverage
  • 401(k) with 3% company match
  • Wellness and financial well-being resources
