Interim Director of Talent and People

We are seeking an experienced and strategic Interim Director of Talent and People to join our People team for a 6–9 month leave coverage, with the potential to transition into a full-time HR Business Partner role. Reporting directly to the Chief People Officer, this leader will play a pivotal role in advancing our talent acquisition, people development, and employee experience initiatives while ensuring continuity for our global teams.

This position is remote, with flexibility to collaborate effectively across time zones and build strong partnerships with teams throughout EMEA and APAC.

In this role, you’ll get to:

• Lead and coach a two-person recruiting team, including a contractor providing interim support, aligning hiring with company growth priorities and our evolution toward a high-performing culture.
  

• Deliver a seamless, high-quality candidate experience while driving efficient, equitable, and data-informed hiring practices.
  

• Partner with the Chief People Officer on talent strategy, workforce planning, and initiatives that strengthen engagement, retention, and organizational performance.
  

• Collaborate with global HR peers—including Compensation & Benefits, HRIS, and People Analytics—to ensure consistency in people programs while adapting to local needs.
  

• Coach and partner with hiring managers and leaders to enhance recruiting effectiveness, build interviewing capability, and support transparent, equitable, data-driven decision-making.
  

• Oversee key programs such as new hire assessments, onboarding mixers, and immigration support to ensure smooth integration and engagement for new team members.
  

• Support the full team member life cycle—from onboarding through offboarding—with a “red carpet” mindset that emphasizes fairness, consistency, and care.
  

• Contribute to broader HR initiatives, including organizational design, performance programs, and engagement efforts that advance a high-performing culture.
  

• Collaborate with leadership to anticipate workforce needs, guide transitions, and ensure clear communication during organizational changes and hiring shifts.
  

• Promote and exemplify CreatorIQ’s RICH HR values—Respect, Integrity, Consistency, and Honesty—in all decisions, relationships, and programs.
  

This interim role plays a critical part in maintaining recruiting momentum and advancing key people initiatives during a period of team transition.
