Type: US - Full time; Canada - Independent Contractor

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.

We are 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 do not 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.

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. 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, care, and ambition. We do meaningful work with people we respect, and we make the ride an adventure worth taking.

• Documented go-to-market plan for core AI offerings.
• Standardized commercial model and term framework for studio engagements and services contracts.
• Predictable pipeline and a functioning BD operating cadence (forecasting, reporting, conversion metrics).
• Initial BD hires and a documented hiring and compensation plan.
• First commercial wins: service contracts and at least one monetized studio engagement.
• A dashboard tying BD activity to revenue and unit economics.

• Pipeline coverage and month-over-month pipeline growth.
• New services revenue and ARR attributable to BD activities.
• Funnel conversion rates (lead qualified opportunity closed).

• Ability to partner with product and delivery teams to align GTM to product-market fit.

Preferred
