About iCrossing

iCrossing is a global marketing and technology company, part of Hearst, bringing together strategy, creativity, media, data, and engineering to help brands win demand, convert demand, and scale performance.

We're rethinking how marketing and technology work together in a world shaped by AI. That means building new capabilities, challenging established ways of working, and giving our people opportunities to solve problems that don't always have a playbook.

At iCrossing, you'll work across disciplines, collaborate with talented people, and have a real opportunity to influence the work, the solutions we build, and the direction of our business. We combine the ambition and agility of a business in transformation with the reach and resources of Hearst.

Your Impact

Talent Acquisition and HR are central to how iCrossing builds the capabilities, teams, and leadership needed to grow. We are building teams of people who combine deep craft expertise with commercial judgment, client empathy, cross-functional collaboration, practical AI fluency, and ownership for measurable outcomes.

The Sr. Talent Acquisition and HR Specialist will execute full-cycle recruiting across strategy, engagement leadership, engineering, content, experience design, data and AI, performance marketing, and corporate functions. Reporting to the HR Director, this person will help define what strong talent looks like, identify candidates from both expected and adjacent markets, and create selection processes that distinguish polished interviewers from people who can solve problems, build solutions, and deliver results. Additionally, this role will support related talent programs under the direction of the HR Director. This is a great role for someone with TA experience who wants to grow their talent advisory and partnership skills and have an opportunity to support broader HR and talent initiatives.

This is a full-time temporary-to-hire role based in New York, NY and requires on-site attendance a minimum of two days per week. Our in-office policy is currently Tuesday and Wednesday, with additional days where required.
