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 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 Opportunity

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.

What You'll Do

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

What We're Looking For

Experience and Skills

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

Mindset and Traits

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

Equal Opportunity Commitment

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

Human Agency is a technology-focused digital product and software engineering firm that provides end-to-end services for organizations looking to conceive, design, build, and scale digital products and platforms. Operating as a product and engineering agency rather than a pure marketing or creative shop, Human Agency positions itself to partner with clients across the full lifecycle of digital initiatives: from user research and product strategy through UX/UI design, frontend and backend engineering, data engineering, machine learning integration, and ongoing platform operations. The firm combines multidisciplinary teams—product managers, service designers, user researchers, interaction and visual designers, software engineers, data specialists, and DevOps/cloud engineers—to deliver production-ready systems and to hand over maintainable codebases and operational practices. Core business activities - Product strategy and research: Human Agency conducts user research, stakeholder discovery, market validation, prototyping, and product roadmap planning to help organizations de-risk digital initiatives and define prioritized feature sets and business metrics. These activities typically include workshops, service blueprints, journey mapping, and iterative validation with real users. - UX/UI and interaction design: The company produces wireframes, interactive prototypes, design systems, and detailed UI specifications to ensure consistent, accessible, and user-centered interfaces for web and mobile products. Design outputs are intended to be developer-ready and aligned with client brand systems. - Software engineering and platform development: Human Agency develops frontend applications (single-page applications, progressive web apps), backend services and APIs, microservices, and serverless components. Engineering work typically targets cloud platforms and emphasizes automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code to support continuous delivery and scalable operations. - Data engineering and analytics: The agency sets up data pipelines, warehouses/lakes, ETL processes, and analytics dashboards to enable data-driven decision making. Services include instrumentation, event tracking, business intelligence implementations, and data governance. - Machine learning and AI-enabled features: For clients seeking to incorporate ML capabilities, Human Agency designs and integrates models for recommendation, personalization, classification, forecasting, and natural language processing into product workflows, with attention to model monitoring, privacy, and explainability requirements. - DevOps, cloud architecture, and operations: The firm designs cloud-native architectures, automates deployments and scaling, and implements monitoring, logging, and incident response practices to ensure reliability of production systems. - Staff augmentation and extended delivery teams: Human Agency often supplies cross-functional teams or augments client squads for time-limited projects or ongoing product development, providing senior technologists, designers, and delivery leads. Main products and services Human Agency’s primary deliverables are services and software systems rather than packaged consumer products. Typical outputs include fully launched web and mobile applications, internal business platforms, API ecosystems, analytics and reporting suites, design systems and component libraries, and AI/ML feature integrations. The agency provides a blend of advisory and executional work: strategic roadmaps and discovery artifacts (research reports, prioritized backlogs, prototyping), creative assets (visual design, interaction patterns), and engineering artifacts (production codebases, CI/CD configurations, containerized deployments). The company also develops reusable technology assets such as component libraries and templates that accelerate time-to-market for repeat engagements. Client profile and sectors served Human Agency serves a mixture of clients ranging from early-stage startups requiring MVP development to mid-market and enterprise organizations undergoing digital transformation. Typical sectors include financial services, healthcare and life sciences, retail and e-commerce, media and publishing, and public sector clients. Engagements vary in length from short discovery sprints to multi-year partnerships supporting continuous product evolution. Working approach and methodologies The agency generally operates with agile and outcome-oriented delivery models. Engagements commonly begin with a discovery or sprint zero to align on objectives, success metrics, and risks. Cross-functional squads are employed to maintain rapid iteration cycles, and design and engineering activities run in parallel to shorten feedback loops. Emphasis is placed on testing with real users, shipping small increments frequently, and instrumenting products to measure outcomes and inform future development. Technology focus and practices Human Agency tends to favor modern web and cloud-native technologies and follows engineering best practices such as test-driven development, continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD), automated infrastructure provisioning, and observability. For data projects and ML integrations, the firm implements tracking and monitoring frameworks, model versioning, and pipeline automation to promote maintainability and compliance. Security, accessibility, and performance optimization are treated as integral parts of delivery rather than afterthoughts. Partnerships and ecosystem To deliver on projects, Human Agency commonly partners with cloud providers, analytics and data platform vendors, and third-party software vendors that align with clients’ needs. The company may also contribute to or adopt open-source libraries and design system patterns to accelerate delivery and maintain interoperability. Outcomes and value proposition The firm’s stated value proposition is to combine human-centered design with engineering discipline to create digital products that meet measurable business goals. For clients, the expected outcomes include faster time-to-market for new products, improved user engagement and satisfaction, data-informed decision-making capabilities, and more resilient and maintainable technical platforms. Human Agency emphasizes close collaboration, transparency in delivery, and knowledge transfer to enable client teams to take ownership after handover. Note: This description focuses on the typical capabilities and service offerings associated with technology-focused digital product agencies that use the trading name Human Agency. Where possible, specific claims about clients, awards, or corporate history should be verified against the company’s official communications or website for confirmation.
