Associate, Human Resources Business Partner | Bankrate

*This role is open to remote or hybrid candidates (East Coast preference), with hybrid being central to our New York, NY or Charlotte area offices. Must be able to work Eastern Standard Time hours.

Bankrate is looking for an Associate HR Business Partner who doesn’t just execute HR processes—they reimagine them. This is a role for someone who sees AI as a force multiplier, not a novelty. You’ll partner directly with leaders and teams across the organization, delivering people programs that are faster, sharper, and more data-informed because you’ve built AI into the way you work.

Your specific client group will depend on your strengths, experience, and professional maturity. What won’t vary is the expectation: you operate at the intersection of people strategy and technology, and you’re always looking for a better, faster, more scalable way to get outcomes.

You’ll report to a Senior HRBP and work as part of a lean, high-performing People team that treats AI adoption as a core competency—not an elective.

What You’ll Do:

AI-Forward People Operations

• Use AI tools daily and deliberately across your work—comp modeling, workforce analysis, scenario planning, employee communications, reporting—not as an experiment, but as standard practice. You maintain repeatable prompt libraries and refine them every cycle.
• Connect AI into recurring workflows: auto-generated status summaries, AI-drafted deliverables edited for voice and accuracy, live dashboards that replace manual reporting. You don’t compile data; you interpret patterns and surface insights.
• Identify opportunities to automate or redesign core People processes end-to-end (onboarding, hiring pipeline, performance cycles) and pilot them against manual approaches with measurable results.
• Set the pace for AI experimentation on the People team—create safe-to-fail norms, share what works, and contribute to our collective AI fluency.

Strategic HR Partnership

• Deliver agile, high-quality HR programs for your assigned client group, managing the full employee lifecycle from talent strategy through day-to-day execution.
• Provide hands-on coaching to managers on performance enablement, career development, feedback delivery, and team effectiveness. Help first-time managers build high-performing teams.
• Partner with People Centers of Excellence to launch and localize company-wide initiatives—talent calibrations, growth cycles, workforce planning—in ways that land with your client group.
• Navigate employee relations with sound judgment, ensuring compliance with federal and state employment law while protecting both the employee experience and organizational interests.
• Use data to diagnose people problems and propose multiple solutions. You don’t just report metrics—you tell leadership what the data means and what to do about it.

What We’re Looking For:

• 2–4 years of progressive HR experience with meaningful exposure to HRBP work, including direct support of exempt-level employees and managers.
• Demonstrated AI fluency: you can articulate your own growth arc with AI tools, from first experiments to embedded daily use. You have opinions about what works and what doesn’t, and you’re always testing the next thing.
• Full-stack HR versatility—performance management, employee relations, compensation, org development, talent planning. You don’t need to be an expert in all of them, but you need to have touched them and have a point of view.
• Strong analytical instincts. You interpret data, identify trends, and translate findings into actionable recommendations—not just charts.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity. Bankrate moves fast; you can manage competing priorities, pivot when needed, and maintain quality under pressure.
• Solid grounding in US federal and state employment law and the judgment to know when to escalate.
• Bachelor’s degree in HR, Business, or a related field (or equivalent real-world experience that tells the same story).

Compensation:

This range reflects total cash compensation, which may include base salary only or base salary plus target bonus, depending on the role. Where eligible, equity may also be offered separately and not included below. Actual compensation varies based on location, experience, and qualifications.

• Total Cash Compensation Range: $80,000 - $100,000 per year

*New York City Total Cash Compensation Range: $100,000 - $125,000 per year

Additionally, the following benefits are provided by Red Ventures, subject to eligibility requirements.

• Health Insurance Coverage (medical, dental, and vision)
• Life Insurance
• Short and Long-Term Disability Insurance
• Flexible Spending Accounts
• Holiday Pay
• 401(k) with match
• Employee Assistance Program
• Paid Parental Bonding Benefit Program
• Flexible Paid Time Off (PTO): We believe time to rest and recharge is essential.  That’s why we offer a generous and flexible PTO policy.  Full-time employees accrue 20 days of PTO for a full calendar year annually, with an increase to 25 days after five years of service.
