Location: Remote (St Louis, MO)

Type: Full-Time

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.

Role Overview We’re looking for a Director of Product Design who can own product direction end-to-end, from problem definition and user experience to shipped design and iteration, while remaining deeply hands-on.

You’ll lead product design strategy across client engagements and internal initiatives, while also designing and shipping work yourself. On any given day, that might include shaping a product roadmap with leadership, mapping user flows in Figma, refining UI patterns, copyediting website content to suit a layout, or polishing a live web experience before launch. You bring a deep love for typography, color, and visual hierarchy and understand that these choices shape clarity, usability, brand trust, and product adoption.

This role goes beyond traditional product design; you’ll shape systems, product experiences, and foundational visual frameworks from the ground up. It suits a versatile, craft-obsessed product designer-at-their-core, who can move fluidly between strategy and execution, who communicates clearly with technical partners and key stakeholders.

We hire for talent, not tenure. What matters is your craft, your portfolio, and your ability to elevate the work. We move fast, often working in tight iteration cycles. Our timelines are quick and our standards are high. You’ll work efficiently with detail and care, balancing speed with quality across every deliverable.
