Location: Remote (U.S. or Canada) Type: US Applicants – Full-Time; Canadian Applicants – Independent Contractor 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. 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. #J-18808-Ljbffr

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 report to the Managing Partner and work as a peer on strategy with 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. #J-18808-Ljbffr

The Opportunity
You’re going to run one of our ventures. Not assist on it. Not support it. Run it. You’re a CEO without the title — yet. We hand you a venture, the AI infrastructure to build it faster than anyone else could, and the autonomy to make it work. You own the product. You own the customers. You own the revenue. You own the P&L.
This isn’t a fellowship or a residency. It’s not a training ground. We’re looking for someone who has already proven they can take something from zero to real — someone who knows what it feels like to build, ship, sell, and iterate under pressure. Someone who doesn’t need a playbook because they've written one before.
Human Agency is building multiple ventures simultaneously, and this role exists because we need operators who can move at AI speed. You’ll have access to our studio resources, our AI tooling, our network, and our capital. But the decisions are yours. The wins are yours. The failures are yours. If that sounds like freedom, you’re right. If it sounds terrifying, you’re also right.
What You’ll Own
Full venture accountability.
You’re responsible for product direction, customer acquisition, operations, and financial performance. This is your business to build.
AI-native product development.
You’ll ship product using AI as a core capability from day one — not as a feature, but as the foundation of how you build and scale.
Revenue generation and growth.
You’re expected to find customers, close deals, deliver value, and build a repeatable growth engine. No one else is doing this for you.
Team building and leadership.
As the venture scales, you’ll hire and lead a small, high-performing team. You set the culture. You set the standards.
Strategic pivots and decision-making.
You’ll make calls with imperfect information, kill ideas that aren’t working, and double down on what is. Speed and judgment matter more than consensus.
Studio reporting and collaboration.
You’ll regularly share progress, learnings, challenges, and pivots with the studio leadership. Transparency and intellectual honesty are non-negotiable.
Who You Are
Experience & Skills
Youve run something real before — a startup, a product line, a business unit, or a revenue-generating venture where you owned the outcome.
You have both product instinct and sales instinct. You can build something people want and you can convince them to pay for it.
Youre AI-native in your approach to work. You already build with AI tools, not around them. You understand what’s possible and you know how to exploit it.
Youve managed a P&L or been accountable for financial performance. You understand unit economics, burn rate, and what it takes to make a business sustainable.
You have proof of work. Not a resume full of logos — actual artifacts. Things youve built, shipped, sold, or grown. Show us.
Youre self-managing and self-directing. No one is going to tell you what to do tomorrow morning. You figure it out and you execute.
You make decisions quickly with incomplete information and you’re comfortable being wrong as long as you learn fast and correct course.
You think like an owner, not an employee. You don’t wait for permission. You don’t need your hand held. You take the problem and you solve it.
Youre energized by autonomy and accountability, not paralyzed by it. The idea of running your own thing inside a larger engine excites you, not scares you.
Youre intellectually honest about what’s working and what isn’t. You kill your darlings when the data says so, and you double down when momentum is real.
You want to build something that matters, not just collect a paycheck. You care about the mission, the product, and the people it serves.
Compensation & Logistics
Remote position open to candidates based in the US or Canada.
Full-time employment with competitive compensation including base salary, performance-based incentives, and potential equity participation in the venture you build.
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.
Voluntary Self-Identification
For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the below self-identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.
As set forth in Human Agency's Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.
Veteran Status
A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.
A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.
An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.
An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.
Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability
Why are you being asked to complete this form?
We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.
Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
How do you know if you have a disability?
