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.

We are seeking an exceptional Chief of Staff to serve as a force multiplier to our founder, Brendan Lind. You'll be the engine that translates the founder's vision and initiatives into executable plans, builds the systems that allow our leadership team to operate at their highest level, and ensures nothing critical falls through the cracks as we scale rapidly.

Rather than being hired for a predetermined set of tasks, you will be brought on to solve complex, evolving challenges. Success in this role requires self-direction, proactive value creation, and the ability to thrive without constant oversight. Over the coming year, your responsibilities will be tailored to both organizational needs and your individual strengths, potentially including:

• Leading AI transformation projects with clients
• Managing CEOs at client organizations
• Driving sales initiatives at Human Agency
• Partnering with Recruiting to help us find and close top-tier talent
• Managing client project delivery
• Driving value through data and analytics for clients
• Leading go-to-market initiatives for clients

You'll own special projects, drive organizational initiatives from concept to completion, and build the infrastructure (GTM motions, resource allocation, operational rhythms) that allows Human Agency to grow while maximizing our greatest strength – our people. If you thrive on turning ambitious ideas into reality and building the scaffolding that makes a fast-growing startup actually work, this is your role.
