**A note before you read further**

The world is changing fast, and so is this role. We can't fully tell you what this job looks like in six months. That's true of every role at Human Agency right now. What we need from you, no matter what: accountability, curiosity, and a builder-first mindset. If that sounds exciting, keep reading. If it sounds intimidating but you're still interested, let's talk. If none of that sounds like you, that's okay. This probably isn't your spot.

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
 
Who You Are
  • Proven experience as a founder, CEO, or product leader who shipped real products
  • Sales DNA — you can get in a room and move people
  • AI-native builder — you've built with AI, not just used it. Show us.
  • Comfort with ambiguity at every level — from "what should we build?" to "this thing is on fire"
  • Zero interest in process for process's sake. You build. You ship. You iterate.
 
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.
