<p><strong>Location:</strong>&nbsp;Remote (US or Canada)</p> <p><strong>Type:</strong> US-based candidates - Full-Time; Canada-based candidates - Independent Contractor</p> <h2>About Human Agency</h2> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <h2 class="text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold">The Role</h2> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">One of the most consequential questions of our time, what happens to human agency when AI reshapes everything, doesn't have a dominant voice yet. We intend to be that voice.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">This is the role that builds it.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">You're not inheriting a content function. You're building a media platform and a movement from a position that already has real momentum. The blog, the podcast, the social presence, the book, the newsletter - you own all of it, across both our founder's personal brand and the Human Agency company brand. You'll treat it like your own business, because in every way that matters, it is.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">The person who does this well won't just be a great content operator. They'll be the engine behind one of the most compelling voices in a conversation the world is paying close attention to right now.</p> <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">What You'll Own</h2> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">There are two tracks running simultaneously. Both require full ownership.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><strong>Track One: Founder Brand</strong></p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">You'll build and operate the content machine that turns our founder's expertise and point of view into a distributed, high-reach presence across every platform that matters.</p> <ul class="[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3"> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Grow and manage the founder's presence across LinkedIn, Instagram, Substack, and podcast</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Write and produce social content yourself, and build AI agents that generate strong first drafts you then shape and finesse</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Own the full content pipeline: ideation, production, trafficking, scheduling, and distribution across every channel</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Build and run the analytics layer, tracking what's performing, understanding why, and using those signals to inform what gets made next</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Own the commercial side: podcast sponsorships, partnership deals, speaking pipeline, paid products</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Develop systems so the founder contributes the thinking and you build the machine that turns it into content at scale</li> </ul> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">The targets are ambitious on purpose. Audience growth here is measured in followers and subscribers, not impressions or pipeline influence metrics. You've chased numbers like this before. You know what it actually takes to move them.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><strong>Track Two: Human Agency Brand</strong></p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">In parallel, you'll build and maintain a consistent editorial voice for Human Agency as a company.</p> <ul class="[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3"> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Own the blog, company social presence, and team thought leadership content</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Set the editorial standard and make sure everything we publish feels like it came from somewhere real, not a content factory</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Build systems that let the broader team contribute without you becoming the bottleneck</li> </ul> <h2>The AI Requirement</h2> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">This is non-negotiable: you are obsessed with using AI to make yourself more productive, not to replace your judgment, but to multiply your output.</p> <ul class="[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3"> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">You build AI agents and automated workflows to handle the repeatable parts of content production</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">You use those tools to produce at a volume that would otherwise require a full team</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">You stay in the loop as the human editor and taste-maker, ensuring nothing that ships feels like AI slop</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">You have strong opinions about where AI content tools are headed and you're already building toward it</li> </ul> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">If AI is something you've been meaning to get around to, this isn't the place to figure it out. You should already be experimenting, building, and shipping with it.</p> <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Who You Are</h2> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">You've lived in the creator economy. Not adjacent to it, but in it.</p> <ul class="[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3"> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">You know how the LinkedIn algorithm actually works today, not eighteen months ago</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">You follow the podcast trades and understand CPMs, dynamic ad insertion, and what a real sponsorship deal requires on both sides of the table</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">You read Substack not just as a consumer but as someone who studies why things grow</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">You have opinions about what the major platforms are doing and what it means for content strategy</li> </ul> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">You might have built your own platform. Or you've been the engine behind someone else's (a founder, an investor, an executive) who now has a serious following. You're used to not getting full credit for that. You don't need the spotlight. You need to see the thing grow.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">You're commercially wired from the start. You think about hooks, conversion, and distribution the way a marketer thinks about pipeline, obsessively, with data. You also have genuine editorial taste. The combination is what makes you unusual.</p> <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">What We're Looking For</h2> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Proof that you've done this before is worth more than anything else on your resume. Specifically:</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><strong>We want to see:</strong></p> <ul class="[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3"> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">A founder, executive, or public figure's following you grew, with real numbers attached</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">A podcast you launched or operated with actual commercial outcomes: sponsors landed, audience built</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">A newsletter or Substack you grew to a meaningful subscriber base</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Content you connected directly to revenue (deals, paid products, or partnerships that trace back to something you built)</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">AI workflows or agents you've built to scale your own content production</li> </ul> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><strong>We don't need:</strong></p> <ul class="[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3"> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Corporate content director experience inside a large marketing organization</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">B2B demand generation or sales enablement background</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">A strong writer who hasn't built distribution</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Someone who thinks scaling content means hiring more writers</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">A networker who hasn't proven they can grow an audience</li> </ul> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Experience with sponsorship development, monetization structures, or paid content products is a genuine requirement, not a nice-to-have.</p> <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Why This One</h2> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">If you're reading this and it's landing differently than most job postings, that's intentional.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">This is a greenfield build with real resources behind it. The mission is genuinely compelling, the principal is bought in and ready to move fast, and the person who does this well will have built something they can point to for the rest of their career.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">The conversation we're trying to lead, about AI, human agency, and what kind of future we're actually building, is one of the most important ones happening right now. This role is the engine.</p> <h2>Equal Opportunity Commitment</h2> <p>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.</p> <hr class="border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5"> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><em>To apply: Tell us what you've built, what the numbers were, and why this particular moment makes this the right move. A portfolio or links to your work matter more than a cover letter. We're looking for proof, not polish.</em></p>
