Role Description This is not a traditional chief of staff role. At Human Agency, the chief of staff is the prototype for every person we hire. You're someone who wants to be running a company — a dynamic C-suite leader — but you're choosing to ride shotgun alongside an executive because you know it's the fastest path to getting there. What makes us different is that we actually give you that shot. Today. Not in three years. You are floor to ceiling. You will take out the trash, sweep the floors, and then walk into the board meeting and run it. Nothing is beneath you. There is no ceiling above you. You are a garbage disposal for problems — every food scrap, every random piece of metal gets thrown your way, and you figure out how to handle it without breaking.

Table stakes. - Mission-driven operator with deep commitment to Human Agency's values and vision - No ego. No job description. You do whatever the job requires. - Self-managing problem solver — the last thing a CEO or Founder wants is someone they have to manage - AI-first mindset — you use AI as a force multiplier across everything you touch - Builder mentality — you've shipped something. Attach proof of something you've built with AI to either your application or cover letter. - Generalist with range — you don't need to be an expert in any one thing, but you need to be dangerous across many things Requirements - 5-7+ years in high-performing environments such as management consulting, venture capital/private equity, business development, or startup leadership positions - Demonstrated success in taking ambiguous, complex initiatives and driving them to completion, you're the person who makes hard things happen - Outstanding written and verbal communication; you can synthesize complex information into clear, actionable briefs for different audiences - Bonus: Experience in high-growth startups, venture studios, or AI/tech companies Considerations - Education: Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience; top-tier programs and/or an advanced degree in a relevant field is a plus - Ethics: Commitment to ethical practices and responsible business operations - Travel: Occasional (10–25%) for company offsites, key events, and leadership meetings - Location: Remote-friendly with preference for candidates in major tech hubs and strong preference for overlap with EST business hours Equal Opportunity Commitment Human Agency is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
