About Human Agency

We're scaling rapidly and have a growing pipeline of opportunities that demand exceptional talent across disciplines. Our mission is to bring on individuals, from creative producers to technical experts to entrepreneurial leaders, who can help us realize this next chapter of growth.

We are a company of doers. Leaders roll up their sleeves, teams work flat, and everyone contributes to what ships. Titles don't insulate us from feedback or basics. We invite critique, learn quickly, and keep raising the bar. The best ideas win here, no matter where they come from, because clients trust us to deliver the strongest outcomes every time.

Our clients' missions, products, and bottom lines are sacred. We immerse ourselves in their world, becoming stewards of their goals and partners in solving big problems. Every product, strategy, or asset we create must be both beautiful and functional; practical, usable, and designed for real-world impact.

Humans are our most valuable resource, and we only grow by hiring people who push us forward. Across strategy, engineering, design, data, and operations, we seek out teammates who raise the bar and make us better. Always hire up, never down.

We partner with organizations of all sizes to explore, design, and implement AI strategies that are secure, scalable, and human-centered. We believe AI should amplify human potential, not replace it, and we build with that conviction in every engagement. From advisory and tooling to implementation and education, we meet clients where they are and help them integrate AI in ways that align with their mission and values. Our goal is to empower teams to work smarter, move faster, and unlock new possibilities through thoughtful, responsible innovation.

And through it all, we lead with purpose, love, and adventure. We do meaningful work with people we care about, and we make the ride an adventure worth taking. Because at Human Agency, who we are and how we work are one and the same.

The Role

One of the most consequential questions of our time, what happens to human agency when AI reshapes everything, doesn't have a dominant voice yet. We intend to be that voice.

This is the role that builds it.

You're not inheriting a content function. You're building a media platform and a movement from a position that already has real momentum. The blog, the podcast, the social presence, the book, the newsletter - you own all of it, across both our founder's personal brand and the Human Agency company brand. You'll treat it like your own business, because in every way that matters, it is.

The person who does this well won't just be a great content operator. They'll be the engine behind one of the most compelling voices in a conversation the world is paying close attention to right now.

What You'll Own

There are two tracks running simultaneously. Both require full ownership.

Track One: Founder Brand

You'll build and operate the content machine that turns our founder's expertise and point of view into a distributed, high-reach presence across every platform that matters.

• Grow and manage the founder's presence across LinkedIn, Instagram, Substack, and podcast
• Write and produce social content yourself, and build AI agents that generate strong first drafts you then shape and finesse
• Own the full content pipeline: ideation, production, trafficking, scheduling, and distribution across every channel
• Build and run the analytics layer, tracking what's performing, understanding why, and using those signals to inform what gets made next
• Own the commercial side: podcast sponsorships, partnership deals, speaking pipeline, paid products
• Develop systems so the founder contributes the thinking and you build the machine that turns it into content at scale

The targets are ambitious on purpose. Audience growth here is measured in followers and subscribers, not impressions or pipeline influence metrics. You've chased numbers like this before. You know what it actually takes to move them.

Track Two: Human Agency Brand

In parallel, you'll build and maintain a consistent editorial voice for Human Agency as a company.

• Own the blog, company social presence, and team thought leadership content
• Set the editorial standard and make sure everything we publish feels like it came from somewhere real, not a content factory
• Build systems that let the broader team contribute without you becoming the bottleneck

The AI Requirement

This is non-negotiable: you are obsessed with using AI to make yourself more productive, not to replace your judgment, but to multiply your output.

• You build AI agents and automated workflows to handle the repeatable parts of content production
• You use those tools to produce at a volume that would otherwise require a full team
• You stay in the loop as the human editor and taste-maker, ensuring nothing that ships feels like AI slop
• You have strong opinions about where AI content tools are headed and you're already building toward it

If AI is something you've been meaning to get around to, this isn't the place to figure it out. You should already be experimenting, building, and shipping with it.

Who You Are

You've lived in the creator economy. Not adjacent to it, but in it.

• You know how the LinkedIn algorithm actually works today, not eighteen months ago
• You follow the podcast trades and understand CPMs, dynamic ad insertion, and what a real sponsorship deal requires on both sides of the table
• You read Substack not just as a consumer but as someone who studies why things grow
• You have opinions about what the major platforms are doing and what it means for content strategy

You might have built your own platform. Or you've been the engine behind someone else's (a founder, an investor, an executive) who now has a serious following. You're used to not getting full credit for that. You don't need the spotlight. You need to see the thing grow.

You're commercially wired from the start. You think about hooks, conversion, and distribution the way a marketer thinks about pipeline, obsessively, with data. You also have genuine editorial taste. The combination is what makes you unusual.

What We're Looking For

Proof that you've done this before is worth more than anything else on your resume. Specifically:

We want to see:

• A founder, executive, or public figure's following you grew, with real numbers attached
• A podcast you launched or operated with actual commercial outcomes: sponsors landed, audience built
• A newsletter or Substack you grew to a meaningful subscriber base
• Content you connected directly to revenue (deals, paid products, or partnerships that trace back to something you built)
• AI workflows or agents you've built to scale your own content production

We don't need:

• Corporate content director experience inside a large marketing organization
• B2B demand generation or sales enablement background
• A strong writer who hasn't built distribution
• Someone who thinks scaling content means hiring more writers
• A networker who hasn't proven they can grow an audience

Experience with sponsorship development, monetization structures, or paid content products is a genuine requirement, not a nice-to-have.

Why This One

If you're reading this and it's landing differently than most job postings, that's intentional.

This is a greenfield build with real resources behind it. The mission is genuinely compelling, the principal is bought in and ready to move fast, and the person who does this well will have built something they can point to for the rest of their career.

The conversation we're trying to lead, about AI, human agency, and what kind of future we're actually building, is one of the most important ones happening right now. This role is the engine.

Equal Opportunity Commitment

Human Agency is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We value diverse perspectives and are committed to building inclusive, high-performing teams where everyone can do their best work.

To apply: Tell us what you've built, what the numbers were, and why this particular moment makes this the right move. A portfolio or links to your work matter more than a cover letter. We're looking for proof, not polish.

The Role

We’re looking for a Technical Recruiter who can own full-cycle hiring for Accordion’s CFO Technology, and Data, Analytics & AI practices. This is not a generalist recruiting seat. The right person has direct experience hiring AI/ML engineers, data scientists, and technical product managers in a competitive market. They know what a strong GitHub profile looks like, they can tell the difference between a candidate who uses AI tools daily and one who lists them as keywords, and they’re comfortable engaging deeply technical hiring managers as a true partner.

This role can be based in any of our US office locations and is a hybrid role with the flexibility to work remotely 2 days a week, blending the best of both worlds for efficiency and collaboration. Ideal candidates should be local to the desired locations.

What You’ll Do:

As part of our lean Talent Acquisition team, you will:

• Integrate Accordion’s employee value proposition and brand strategy into all recruitment activity at all levels across all platforms

You Have:

• 3+ years of technical recruiting experience with a meaningful portion spent hiring AI/ML engineers, data scientists, or adjacent technical roles
• Demonstrated ability to source and close passive candidates in a competitive AI talent market
• Hands-on experience with GitHub-based sourcing or other technical signal evaluation beyond LinkedIn profiles
• Familiarity with modern AI/ML tooling and frameworks (enough to have informed conversations with candidates and hiring managers about their work)
• Proficiency with Greenhouse or a comparable ATS and LinkedIn Recruiter
• Strong judgment on candidate quality, including an eye for red flags and fabrication in technical resumes
• Thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where priorities shift and speed matters
• Uses AI tools in your own recruiting workflow (we practice what we preach)

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience recruiting in consulting, professional services, or PE-backed companies
• Knowledgeable about the relationship between Private Equity sponsors and their portfolio companies, particularly within the office of the CFO
• Familiarity with the CFO Technology ecosystem: ERP (NetSuite), CRM (Salesforce) and CPM/EPM (Anaplan, Adaptive, OneStream, BlackLine, FloQast, Pigment, Oracle Cloud EPM)
• Agency recruiting background (you know how to hunt, not just post and pray)
• Experience building or scaling a recruiting function, not just inheriting one

Who You Are:

• Technically fluent enough to evaluate signal. You don’t need to code, but you recognize meaningful open-source contributions and can spot inflated experience
• A natural sourcer—you proactively find top candidates rather than waiting for applicants
• Direct and low-ego. You give honest assessments, even when it means pushing back on hiring managers
• Data-driven. You track pipeline metrics, understand conversion rates, and adjust your approach accordingly
• Highly organized under pressure, able to manage 8–10+ open roles simultaneously
• A strong writer. Your outreach is specific, concise, and never feels templated
• Entrepreneurial and comfortable operating in a fluid, flat organization
• A collaborative team player who works effectively across all levels

Salary: $100,000 to $150,000 + benefits + bonus

Actual compensation packages are determined by evaluating a wide array of factors unique to each candidate, including but not limited to geographic location, skill set, years and depth of experience, education, certifications, cost of labor and internal equity.
