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.

The economic landscape is shifting in ways that demand a new kind of investment discipline. AI is not simply transforming industries - it is redrawing the boundaries of value itself. Political instability, labor displacement, structural economic shifts, and the concentration of technological power are creating conditions that most funds are ill-equipped to navigate. We are building one that is.

Human Agency is developing a fund with a single, clear thesis: how do we maximize the likelihood of real value twenty years from now, in a world being reshaped by AI? We have the conviction and the framework. We are looking for an experienced fund manager to bring the capital, the LP relationships, and the investment discipline needed to make it real.

As AI Resilience Fund Manager, you will build and run this fund from the ground up. This is a founding role - you will shape the portfolio strategy, lead fundraising, and execute investments across asset classes with a 20-year horizon. You will work closely with Human Agency's leadership team to refine the thesis as the landscape evolves and serve as a trusted advisor to fund investors navigating an uncertain economic future.

• Build and manage a fund focused on investments resilient to AI disruption, political instability, and structural economic shifts
• Develop and own the investment thesis and portfolio strategy with a 20-year horizon
• Lead capital raising from day one - sourcing, cultivating, and closing LP relationships is the core of this role
• Source, evaluate, and execute investments across asset classes aligned with the resilience thesis
• Advise fund investors on risk-adjusted positioning for an AI-transformed economy
• Partner with Human Agency leadership to continuously refine and evolve the thesis as the landscape shifts

• Deep experience in fund management, venture capital, private equity, or institutional investing
• An established network of potential LPs and co-investors - you have raised capital and can do it again
• Practical, informed conviction around AI's transformative and disruptive potential - not theoretical
• Long-term investment orientation - you are building a portfolio for 2045, not optimizing for next quarter

• Exceptional integrity and trustworthiness - this role requires an extraordinary level of trust from investors and partners alike
• Builder mentality - this fund does not exist yet, and you are the one who will bring it into the world
• Comfort with ambiguity and a long time horizon - you make principled decisions in an environment that does not offer easy answers

Human Agency is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We value diverse backgrounds and strive to build an inclusive culture where everyone feels welcomed and empowered.
