Role Overview

The Administrative Assistant will provide comprehensive administrative, financial, and operational support, working closely with the Finance & Administration Director as your primary point of collaboration. In this role, you’ll assist with bookkeeping, vendor payments, timesheet reviews, invoice preparation, and accounts receivable tracking, while also supporting HR, recruiting, compliance, and other operational workflows. You may also provide administrative support to other executives and department directors on an as‑needed basis. This role is ideal for someone highly organized, detail‑oriented, and comfortable managing a variety of tasks across finance, HR, and operations in a fast‑paced, collaborative environment.

This is an international independent contractor role, open to candidates based in Canada or Mexico to better align with U.S. time zones and operational needs. You will be engaged as an independent contractor and not as an employee of Human Agency. As such, you will be responsible for managing your own taxes, benefits, and compliance with local regulations. This engagement does not create an employer‑employee relationship under U.S., Canadian, or Mexican law.
