About the Role

As a Senior Art Director, you'll be a hands-on creative force within a multidisciplinary team led by the Group Creative Director. You’ll help bring big ideas to life, executing standout work across digital, social, and video with a sharp eye for craft, storytelling, and design excellence.

This role sits in the details — designing, building, and refining creative assets — while contributing to broader campaign narratives and visual systems. You’ll collaborate closely with Creative Directors, Designers, Copywriters, Producers, and Strategists to deliver work that feels native to the platform, on-brand for a major client (one of the world’s leading e-commerce and technology platforms), and scalable across markets.

We’re looking for a Senior Art Director who is fluent in digital design, strong in visual storytelling, and comfortable creating high-quality work at speed. You’ll bring both conceptual thinking and pixel-perfect execution, along with AI fluency to help evolve and activate an established brand system across multiple sub-brands and channels.

This is not a role focused on building new brands from scratch. It’s about taking an existing brand system and bringing it to life — pushing it forward thoughtfully, expressing it with clarity and consistency, and elevating the work at scale. You’ll operate within a complex, multi-brand ecosystem, creating concepts, visual systems, and executions that feel fresh while remaining unmistakably on-brand.

Working Hours
This role is remote, but the team operates on Pacific Time (PST/PDT). Candidates must be able to work primarily within these hours.

** This is a 3–6 month temporary role with the potential to be extended or converted to a full-time position.

Responsibilities:

• Create and execute visual concepts across digital, social, and video formats.
• Develop layouts, mockups, prototypes, and production-ready assets with a high level of polish.
• Safeguard visual quality across all deliverables, maintaining consistency with Amazon’s design system and narrative tone of voice (“Charm and Disarm”).
• Contribute to style frames and visual systems that scale across formats, regions, and channels.
  
• Support campaign storytelling through visual development and storyboarding.
• Help translate creative briefs into compelling visual narratives, particularly for motion, film, and animation-based work.
• Partner with Copywriters and Creative Directors to ensure ideas land clearly and emotionally.
  
• Use AI tools daily to support concepting, exploration, and iteration
• Generate AI visual options efficiently without compromising brand accuracy
• Apply strong judgment to when AI is helpful and when traditional craft is better
  
• Work closely with the Group Creative Director and broader creative team to execute campaigns from concept through delivery.
• Collaborate with Strategists, Account Leads, and Producers to ensure creative aligns with project goals and timelines.
• Participate in daily stand-ups and creative reviews to maintain alignment and momentum.
• Use Figma confidently for collaborative design, layout development, and feedback cycles.
  
• Help produce assets at scale using tools and workflows, including AI-assisted production.
• Contribute ideas to improve creative processes, templates, and efficiencies.
• Stay current on design trends, platform best practices, and emerging creative formats.
  
• Maintain high standards across all outputs, ensuring thoughtful design, strong storytelling, and attention to detail.
• Take ownership of assigned deliverables from start to finish.
  

About You

The essentials:

• 5+ years of experience as a Senior Designer, Lead Designer, or Art Director within agency, advertising, or production environments
• Strong portfolio demonstrating both conceptual thinking and hands-on execution across digital, social, and video
• Advanced proficiency in Photoshop and Figma, with experience creating high-volume digital assets at speed
• Proven experience working within and evolving established brand systems across multiple formats and channels
• Strong foundation in typography, layout, composition, visual hierarchy, and storytelling
• Fluency in AI tools within a design workflow (e.g., Midjourney, Runway, etc.) — using AI as an amplifier for craft and iteration, not a shortcut
• A strong visual and photographic eye, with attention to realism, detail, and brand consistency
• Ability to balance speed and quality in a fast-paced, high-output environment
• Comfortable working in collaborative, cross-functional teams and presenting ideas internally and to clients
• Strong English communication skills and experience working with global teams

What sets you apart:

• A systems thinker who can translate brand guidelines into scalable, high-quality creative across channels
• Comfortable iterating quickly and adapting work based on feedback without being overly attached to a single direction
• Curious and up to date with visual culture, trends, and emerging tools
• Hands-on across the full design process — not limited to retouching or a single discipline
• Positive, collaborative, and proactive in contributing ideas

Nice to have:

• Film or animation production experience, including storyboarding and narrative development

Director of User Experience

As Director of User Experience, you're the rare leader who thinks like both a strategist and an artist. You speak fluent UX—information architecture, research, usability—but you also speak design—visual systems, motion, art direction. And increasingly, you speak AI: architecting conversational interfaces, exploring vibe-coded experiences, leveraging machine learning to create next-gen user experiences. You understand that great design extends beyond owned platforms—into the interfaces you design within third-party and media channels where you partner to maximize user engagement. You're looking to build and lead a team of UX and Product Designers who are equally fired up about creating experiences that are strategically sound, visually stunning, and genuinely innovative.

You juggle multiple complex projects without breaking a sweat, pivoting between high-level strategy sessions and detailed design feedback. You're the collaborator who bridges disciplines—connecting research to design, design to development, and all of it to business outcomes. You thrive in fast-paced environments, champion the user's voice against competing agendas, and mentor your team with the same rigor you apply to your own work. This role demands someone energized by the full spectrum of design—from wireframe to final pixel.

You Will:

• Lead a multi-disciplinary team of UX and Product Designers to build and test user interface and product experiences that meet or exceed customer and stakeholder expectations.
• Guide and mentor UX and product design team members through delegating, follow-up, and coaching.
• Champion the user's perspective, appropriately challenging senior stakeholders when user goals are compromised, and ensure all UX and design deliverables demonstrate visual excellence and interaction elegance.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with creative teammates, account managers, strategists, content strategists, marketing science, and producers.
• Act as an account lead, effectively visualizing and verbalizing design ideas to clients through compelling presentations and narratives.
• Facilitate design and brainstorming workshops with internal teams and clients, synthesizing diverse perspectives into cohesive design direction.
• Partner with media teams and platforms to design compelling interface experiences across owned and third-party touchpoints, maximizing impact in the interface layer of social, advertising, and external platforms.
• Lead the integration of AI design principles and tools into projects—from AI-assisted design workflows to architecting AI Agent interfaces and conversational experiences that feel natural and intuitive.
• Develop and champion AI-influenced user experiences that leverage machine learning, predictive personalization, and intelligent automation while maintaining user agency and trust—including emerging paradigms like vibe-coded interfaces where tone and personality drive interaction design.
• Oversee multiple high-visibility client projects, effectively pivoting between focus areas as needed.
• Collaborate with leadership and creative leads to define, manage, and evolve the vision for the UX and Product Design discipline.
• Lead recruiting and resourcing efforts while cultivating an effective team with diverse skill sets (UX research, visual design, interaction design, front-end development).
• Coach direct reports to maximize their impact, professional development, and contribution to project and agency success while helping define and promote team culture.
• Embody agency leadership values and promote culture in all interactions (internally and externally).
• Demonstrate advanced working knowledge across visual design, art direction, motion design, front-end development, brand strategy, content strategy, and AI/machine learning principles.
• Be recognized throughout the agency as a UX and Product Design leader sought after for strategic input.
• Represent the agency as an ambassador at industry conferences and meetings, particularly around emerging AI design practices.
• Contribute UX and Product Design expertise to business development and sales initiatives.

You Have:

• 6-8+ years of related industry experience in UX, Product Design, Visual Design, Digital Product, new media, information technology, communications, or adjacent creative disciplines.
• 3+ years' experience in a supervisory/management role leading UX/Design teams.
• Demonstrated expertise in both UX/Product Strategy AND visual design/art direction—with a portfolio showing strong visual design sensibility across both disciplines.
• Experience designing and optimizing user experiences across owned and third-party platforms, including social media, advertising platforms, and external partner interfaces.
• Proven experience designing with AI in mind: both leveraging AI and machine learning as design tools and creating next-generation user experiences powered by AI.
• Familiarity with AI Agent design patterns, conversational interfaces, and emerging paradigms like vibe-coded experiences.
• A strategic and creative mindset, thriving at the intersection of data, design, art, and technology.
• Exceptional storytelling and communication skills (verbal, written, and visual).
• Excellent collaboration and interpersonal skills with strong client relations and team environment comfort.
• Proven track record leading cross-level teams and delivering excellent user experiences for leading brands.
• An experienced, innovative, and forward-thinking approach to large-scale projects from concept to completion.
• Thorough, detail-oriented, and highly organized, with the ability to manage multiple projects and meet tight deadlines.
• Flexibility and adaptability in fast-paced, changing environments.
• Deep understanding of UX fundamentals including research, information architecture, usability testing, and their application to compelling digital experiences.
• Advanced proficiency in design and prototyping tools (Figma, Adobe XD, Sketch, InVision, Principle, Axure).
• Strong expertise across the Adobe Creative Suite, particularly for visual design, motion design, and art direction.
• Experience with AI-assisted design tools and workflows.

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 at 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 Opportunity

We are seeking an exceptional Chief of Staff for our Managing Director of AI—someone who combines strategic vision in AI with hands-on execution and technological know-how. You'll be both a force-multiplier and a transformation architect: designing AI-enabled processes, building automated engines that run independently, leading organizational rollouts, and ensuring crisp execution across our AI solutions practice.

This role goes beyond traditional Chief of Staff responsibilities. You'll design processes that leverage AI, build repeatable systems that scale, and lead entire client transformations from discovery to sustained adoption. You have the potential to grow into leading organizational-level AI implementations as the practice expands.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic & Executive Leadership

• Partner with the Managing Director of AI and the executive team to translate priorities into sequenced plans, resourcing, and measurable outcomes
• Lead Human Agency's AI transformation methodology: define offerings, build repeatable frameworks, and establish best practices for AI-enabled workflows
• Design end-to-end processes that embed AI tools (LLMs, automation platforms, knowledge assistants) into client workflows and internal operations
• Translate complex AI capabilities into clear business cases, use cases, and implementation roadmaps for executive audiences
• Produce high-quality executive materials (briefings, roadmaps, decision memos) that drive alignment and decisions
• Identify where AI creates leverage across client engagements and surface strategic opportunities to leadership

AI Process Design & Automated Engines

• Design and build AI-powered systems that operate independently with minimal ongoing intervention—automated engines that scale beyond individual engagements
• Create repeatable processes for AI implementation: discovery frameworks, solution architectures, evaluation routines, and governance models
• Design prompts, playbooks, and knowledge bases optimized for reliability, consistency, and reusability across multiple clients
• Implement lightweight automation using no/low-code tools (Zapier, Make, Airtable) integrated with AI capabilities
• Establish monitoring and feedback loops that enable self-correcting, continuously improving systems
• Document patterns and best practices that can be deployed at scale

Client Service Delivery & Organizational Rollouts

• Own end-to-end delivery on multiple client engagements involving AI-enabled solutions (e.g., knowledge assistants, workflow automations, content summarization, research copilots), from discovery through launch and sustained adoption
• Lead company-wide and client-wide AI adoption initiatives—managing stakeholder alignment, training, governance, and measurement across entire organizations
• Run comprehensive discovery to surface use cases, success metrics, risks, change-management needs, and technical requirements; translate findings into scopes, timelines, and clear acceptance criteria
• Coordinate solution build-outs with internal teammates and external partners: data/connectivity needs, tool selection, integration planning, prompt engineering, and rollout choreography
• Design change-management approaches that address skill gaps, cultural resistance, workflow disruption, and organizational readiness
• Partner with client leadership to sequence rollout phases, manage dependencies, and demonstrate ROI

Quality, Governance & Evaluation

• Set lightweight evaluation routines: accuracy metrics, latency benchmarks, cost tracking, quality assurance processes, and continuous improvement cycles
• Establish prompt/playbook management, basic safety/guardrail checks, and UAT plans
• Build governance frameworks that enable responsible, scalable AI adoption across organizations
• Implement monitoring systems that track performance, usage, and business impact

Stakeholder Management & Enablement

• Lead standing client check-ins, executive presentations, demo readiness, decision logs, and release notes, presenting succinct options and recommendations
• Create comprehensive enablement materials: user guides, FAQs, training programs, and governance playbooks that empower client teams to operate AI systems independently
• Build lasting client relationships through proactive communication, anticipation of needs, and consistent delivery quality
• Present to executive audiences with clarity and confidence, addressing concerns about accuracy, security, and adoption

Operations & Project Management

• Design and continuously improve the operating system for AI work: intake → triage → prioritization → delivery → QA → launch → measurement
• Manage staffing assignments and subcontractor contributions across concurrent workstreams; keep tools current (Asana/Notion, Google Workspace, Slack)
• Budget & scope control: track time against SOWs, flag changes early, manage vendors, and ensure on-budget delivery with clear documentation
• Establish shared dashboards for delivery health (timeline, risk, burn, dependency status) and run tight meeting cadences

Communications & Reporting

• Prepare agendas, briefings, and executive-ready presentations; synthesize complex information into actionable insights
• Provide clear, timely reporting to the Managing Director of AI and stakeholders on progress, risks, and decisions
• Contribute to Human Agency's AI thought leadership through documentation of best practices, case studies, and insights

Who You Are

Experience & Skills

• 5-7+ years in operations, client services, product/program/project management, strategic support, consulting, or transformation roles with direct ownership of client-facing delivery
• Demonstrated success leading multi-stakeholder projects and organizational change initiatives end-to-end (scope, timelines, budgets, risk, and change management)
• Deep AI fluency: hands-on experience implementing LLM-enabled solutions, prompt engineering, workflow automation, and knowledge management systems; can shape prompts/playbooks, evaluate quality, and choose appropriate tools or vendors
• Strong understanding of AI capabilities and limitations, when to use AI, how to design for reliability, and how to manage risks responsibly
• Proven ability to design repeatable processes and systems that scale beyond individual projects
• Experience with no/low-code automation platforms (e.g., Zapier/n8n), knowledge bases, and modern AI tooling
• High proficiency with Google Workspace, Asana/Notion, Slack, and comfort with modern web and content tools; experience preparing polished executive documents and presentations
• Exceptional ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear business value for non-technical audiences
• Bonus: Experience leading organizational-level technology rollouts, background in management consulting, familiarity with responsible AI considerations (privacy, data handling, consent, bias mitigation), or experience in AI/ML product development

Mindset & Traits

• Builder and operator: You design systems that work without constant oversight, not just execute tasks
• Strategic and tactical: Comfortable setting vision while rolling up sleeves for hands-on implementation
• AI pragmatist: Excited about possibilities but grounded in what actually delivers measurable value
• Mission-driven; systems thinker with bias for action
• Clear, persuasive communicator who can influence executive stakeholders and earn trust through delivery
• Calm under pressure with excellent judgment about when to escalate vs. solve independently
• Able to hold strategic context while driving tactical execution across multiple concurrent engagements
• Intellectually curious with strong learning agility, you stay current on AI capabilities and translate findings into practical applications
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and creating structure where none exists

Considerations

• Education: Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience; an advanced degree in business, technology, or a related field is a plus
• Ethics: Commitment to ethical practices and responsible AI (transparency, human oversight, privacy, bias mitigation)
• Travel: Regular (20–40%) for client activities, organizational rollouts, and events
• Location: Remote-friendly with preference for candidates in major tech hubs

Compensation

This role offers a competitive base salary with performance-based bonuses and potential equity participation. Final compensation will vary based on experience, performance, and location.

Why Join Human Agency

Join a team of thinkers and builders creating meaningful impact across sectors—with autonomy to lead, the resources to succeed, and room to grow. This role offers the opportunity to shape how organizations integrate AI at scale, with clear pathways to increased leadership responsibility as our practice expands.

Overview

We are seeking a hands-on Director of AI Software Engineering to lead and scale AI engineering efforts supporting multiple business units across Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC). This role sits at the intersection of product delivery, platform evolution, and applied AI—driving real-world impact across core workflows.

This is not a pure management role. We are looking for a builder who leads from the front, someone who has recently written production code, shipped systems end-to-end, and can operate comfortably in ambiguity while aligning teams and stakeholders.

What You’ll Do

Lead AI Engineering Across GRC

Own delivery of AI-powered capabilities embedded directly into business unit workflows (e.g., risk analysis, compliance automation, reporting, due diligence)
Partner with product, data, and platform teams to translate business problems into scalable AI systems

Stay Hands-On

• Contribute to architecture, code reviews, and critical path implementation
• Prototype and validate new approaches (LLMs, agents, retrieval systems, classification pipelines, etc.)
• Set engineering standards for performance, reliability, and cost efficiency

Build and Scale Teams

• Lead and mentor a high-performing team of AI/ML and software engineers
• Drive hiring, coaching, and career development
• Establish a culture of ownership, speed, and technical excellence

Drive Execution

• Deliver production-grade systems—not experiments
• Balance speed with rigor (security, privacy, compliance)
• Operate across multiple concurrent initiatives with clear prioritization

Communicate and Influence

• Act as a bridge between engineering and business stakeholders
• Clearly articulate trade-offs, risks, and outcomes to senior leadership
• Align cross-functional teams around shared goals and timelines

What We’re Looking For

Proven Builder

• 10+ years in software engineering, with recent hands-on coding experience
• Demonstrated track record of shipping production systems at scale
• Experience with modern AI/ML systems (LLMs, NLP, search, or data platforms)

Technical Depth

• Strong backend engineering skills (e.g., Python, Java, or similar)
• Experience with distributed systems, APIs, and cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure)
• Familiarity with modern AI stacks (e.g., vector search, embeddings, model serving, agent frameworks)

Leadership with Credibility

• Experience leading engineering teams while remaining technically engaged
• Ability to earn trust with senior engineers and challenge them constructively

Strong Communicator

• Can simplify complex technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders
• Comfortable operating at both executive and implementation levels

Execution-Oriented

• Bias for action; thrives in fast-moving, ambiguous environments
• Focused on delivering measurable business impact—not just technical output

Nice to Have

• Experience in GRC, fintech, or regulated environments
• Exposure to FedRAMP or similar compliance frameworks
• Background in building AI-powered products (not just research)

Why This Role

• Direct influence on how AI transforms core GRC workflows
• Opportunity to define and scale AI-native systems across the platform
• High visibility with senior leadership and business stakeholders
• Build real products used by customers, not internal experiments

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Category Manager is a key driver of commercial success, transforming seasonal line plans into a high-performing, market-ready assortment.

• Recommend markdown strategies and end-of-life actions, and lead system execution.

GTM Merchandising

• Lead post-mortem analysis for your categories - digging into performance, uncovering gaps, highlighting risks, and identifying opportunities for future seasons.

• Support Sales during sell-in with product insights and pricing clarity.

• Partner with Visual Merchandising to shape retail assortments by category.

• Finalize compatible SKU selection for Retail and Ecommerce and share with Planning to inform buy strategies.

• Review buy files with Planning, addressing MOQs, surcharges, cancellations, and commercial considerations.

Pricing Execution & Inventory Management

• Analyze category-level performance - including sell-through, inventory turns, and regional trends - and share insights that influence cross-functional decisions.

• Support ongoing performance reviews with deep sales and inventory analysis.

• Recommend promotional pricing for key commercial events (BFCM, Boxing Week, Luggage Sale), including system setup and validation.

DELIVERABLES & KPIs

• Timely execution of seasonal line plans, assortments, and system setup aligned to global strategy.

• Category revenue and sell-through results that meet or exceed plan.

• High accuracy in PLM setup, pricing uploads, and assortment execution with minimal downstream corrections.

• Strong inventory turns and effective management of aged inventory.

• Clear, actionable post-mortem and in-season insights that strengthen future line plans and commercial decisions.

ABOUT YOU

• Confident working under pressure to solve problems quickly.

• Experience with PLM and ERP systems

• Some familiarity with Power BI.

• Comfortable with Microsoft Office, Google Suite, and project management tools (e.g., monday.com).

NICE TO HAVE

• Category expertise in Bags, Apparel, or Headwear would be advantageous 

• Experience across both Wholesale and DTC channels.

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 Opportunity

Human Agency is an AI-native consultancy that builds, ships, and operates alongside our clients. We don’t advise from the sideline — we embed inside enterprise organizations and deploy production AI systems that do real work.

Our current anchor engagement is inside one of the largest privately held construction enterprises in the United States — LLM orchestration, document intelligence, workflow automation, enterprise integration. Not strategy decks. Not innovation labs. Systems that run.

We need a Managing Director of Technology to own the technical side of the house as we scale Human Agency. That means leading client delivery, making architecture calls, building the engineering team, and being the technical voice in rooms with C-suite executives. You’ll work closely on strategy with both the Founder and the Managing Director of AI — but the technical execution, the team, and the platform are yours.

This role requires someone who can move between writing production code and presenting to a client’s CEO in the same week. If that sounds like whiplash, this isn’t the right fit. If that sounds like Tuesday, keep reading.

What You’ll Do

Lead technical delivery for enterprise clients. You’re the most senior technical person in the room on our biggest engagements. You decide what’s feasible, design the architecture, and make sure it ships. When a client executive asks “can we do this?” — you’re the one who answers.

Build how we deliver, not just what we deliver. One client engagement works because of talented people and brute effort. Ten engagements work because of systems. You design the repeatable model — how we scope, staff, build, and deploy — so the team can run engagements without you in every meeting. That means building discovery frameworks, reference architectures, deployment templates, and evaluation routines that actually get used.

Hire and develop the engineering team. You set the bar, own the pipeline, and make the calls on who joins. We need people who can build with high autonomy in ambiguous environments, and you know how to find them. You also know how to make good engineers better through architecture guidance, code review, and honest feedback.

Own platform and infrastructure decisions. Build vs. buy, tooling, deployment, security — you make the calls. A Principal Engineer handles day-to-day infrastructure execution; you set priorities and architectural direction.

Shape our AI strategy through the lens of what actually ships. You have real opinions on LLM orchestration, RAG, agents, evaluation, and fine-tuning — formed by building things, not reading about them. You decide which technical bets we make and which we skip, based on what creates value for clients, not what looks good on a slide.

What We’re Looking For

• You’ve built and shipped AI/ML systems in production. Not prototypes. Not demos. Things that run and that people depend on.
• You’ve hired and led a technical team — at least 5 people, ideally more. You’ve seen what breaks when a team grows and you’ve fixed it.
• You can explain a technical trade-off to a non-technical executive in a way that helps them make a decision. You’ve done this in high-stakes settings.
• You have strong opinions on AI architecture grounded in hands-on experience — and you change those opinions when the evidence says to.
• You’re comfortable in the weeds. When something is broken or a team is stuck, you get in and help, not schedule a meeting about it.
• You know your way around cloud infrastructure and engineering practices well enough to make platform calls with confidence.

Bonus points for: you’ve scaled a startup or early-stage company before — built the team, built the systems, lived through the growing pains; experience in a services or consultancy model (SOWs, staffing, client delivery); a network of engineers you’ve worked with and would hire again.

You Should Apply If

• You’d rather build AI systems than talk about AI strategy
• You want to own a technical organization, not manage a lane inside someone else’s
• You’re comfortable making big decisions with imperfect information — and owning the outcome
• You want to work somewhere with real revenue, real clients, and real problems to solve
• You’re energized by building a company — not just writing code, but shaping how the whole thing works

You Should Not Apply If

• You want a CTO-like title with a strategy focus and minimal hands-on building
• You’re uncomfortable getting into production-level detail when the situation calls for it
• You expect an established engineering org with playbooks, processes, and a support structure already in place
• You’d rather delegate technical depth than engage directly
• Your experience is solely in product companies and you’re not interested in building for clients

Considerations

Education: Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience; advanced degrees are a plus but not required

Ethics: Commitment to responsible AI practices — transparency, human oversight, privacy

Travel: Periodic (10–20%) for client work, team offsites, and events

Location: Remote-friendly; U.S. or Canada, with preference for EST timezone alignment

Why Join Human Agency

We’re profitable, growing, and building AI systems that run in production for billion-dollar companies. The team is small, the clients are real, and the work matters.

The work is real and the opportunity is massive. We’re building a company — the systems, the team, the delivery model, the culture — and we need someone to own the technical side of that build.

If you’re the kind of person who’d rather build the engine than describe the engine, we want to talk.

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.

You will own a defined territory of target accounts, with opportunity to hunt open accounts, and generate new opportunities through highly customized outreach - including tailored email, personalized LinkedIn engagement, and confident cold calling. Creative, insight-led outreach is encouraged.

This is not a high-volume, script-driven prospecting role.

Strategy & Territory Ownership

• Develop and execute a targeted outbound strategy within a defined Mid-Market or Enterprise territory
• Work with an average of 2 Sales Directors, meeting weekly with prepared account notes for strategic collaboration and strategy planning
• Identify high-potential brands and agencies aligned to Later’s ICP
• Analyze social presence, creator partnerships, and campaign signals to assess program maturity
• Prioritize accounts based on strategic fit and revenue potential
  
  

Prospecting & Pipeline Generation

• Craft personalized outbound across email, phone, LinkedIn, and events
• Ground messaging in observable brand signals and market context
• Position Later as a data-driven influencer marketing and creator commerce partner
• Generate qualified discovery meetings that convert into real revenue opportunities

Execution & Operational Discipline

• Maintain a disciplined outbound cadence and pipeline hygiene
• Accurately track activity and engagement in CRM & account territory planner
• Monitor response patterns and continuously refine outreach strategy
• Contribute insights that improve team targeting, messaging, and performance

Team & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Share market feedback and prospect insights to inform go-to-market & team evolution
• Contribute to playbooks and best practices that elevate overall team performance
  
  

What Success Looks Like

• You consistently exceed quota and create meetings that progress into qualified pipeline

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 Opportunity

You are an entrepreneur. That's the ground-level truth. We're hiring someone who is mostly going to be building and running their own venture within Human Agency's studio — and who also sets the rules for how ventures flow across the entire studio. You run the weekly studio meetings. You are the lead critique. You own the accountability. You convince us that something is working or tell us it's not.

This is a CEO and product person rolled into one, with sales ability. If you've seen Every's venture studio model — that's the profile. Former CEO. Product-obsessed. Builder. Not a bureaucrat who likes to "run the thing." A person who likes to build the thing.

What You'll Own

• Build and operate your own venture from zero to one within the Human Agency studio
• Set the framework and cadence for how ventures are evaluated, funded, and scaled across the studio
• Run weekly studio syncs — you are the point of accountability across all active ventures
• Sell. Whether it's selling the vision to partners, customers, or investors — you close.
• Deploy AI and agents as core infrastructure in everything you build — not as a feature, as the foundation
