The Opportunity

The Entrepreneur in Residence is an open role for a versatile professional who can ship quickly, evolve across disciplines, and leverage AI to drive impact.

What You’ll Own

• Prototype and explore during an initial discovery period. You will work closely with studio leadership to build, test, and validate ideas across potential venture opportunities. This is hands‑on, not theoretical – you ship working prototypes and learn fast.
• Identify and commit to your highest‑leverage opportunity. After the discovery period, you will pivot to the role or venture where your skills create the most impact.
• Build and ship relentlessly. Whether it is a client engagement, an internal tool, or a new venture, you are responsible for getting real work into the world. You are judged on outcomes, not activity.
• Contribute wherever the organization needs you. Before and after you land in your primary role, you will work across the company – strategy sessions, client projects, product development, team building. Generalists don’t wait to be assigned; they see what needs doing and do it.
• Raise the standard. You are here to make everyone around you better. That means honest feedback, rigorous thinking, and a refusal to accept work that is merely good enough.

Who You Are

Experience & Skills

• You’ve built things that shipped – startups, products, tools, systems, or movements. You have proof, not just stories.
• You are a generalist with depth. You can talk strategy with a CEO, build a prototype with engineers, and design an experience that users love. You move between disciplines without losing credibility in any of them.
• You are AI‑native. You’ve built with LLMs, fine‑tuned models, integrated AI tools into workflows, or shipped AI‑powered products. You understand the technology and the business implications.
• You have a track record of operating in ambiguity. You’ve started things from scratch, pivoted when necessary, and delivered results without a roadmap.
• You can code, or you can design, or you can sell, or you can do all three. You have at least one hard skill at a professional level and enough range to be useful everywhere else.

Mindset & Traits

• You’re an entrepreneur, whether or not you’ve founded a company. You see opportunities, take ownership, and make things happen without waiting for permission.
• You’re not looking for a job – you’re looking for a launchpad. You want to build something meaningful, and you’re willing to earn your way into that opportunity.
• You are intellectually honest and comfortable with feedback. You would rather be wrong and learn than be right and stagnate.
• You are energized by high standards and great people. Mediocrity bores you. Working with exceptional teammates on hard problems excites you.
• You trust yourself. You’ve been in situations where nobody had the answer, and you figured it out.
• You can show us something you’ve built. If you can’t attach proof to your application, don’t apply.

Compensation & Logistics

• This is a full‑time role and fully remote within the US or Canada.
• Compensation is competitive and commensurate with experience. We will discuss specifics during the interview process.
• Occasional travel is required.
• You will need to provide evidence of something you’ve built as part of your application – a GitHub repo, a live product, a case study, a portfolio. Applications without this will not be considered.

Equal Opportunity Commitment

Human Agency is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We value diverse perspectives and are committed to building inclusive, high‑performing teams where everyone can do their best work.
