Full-time • Senior

Human Agency offers full-service business solutions to partners and the organizations we create. We are a team of problem solvers driven by purpose and a commitment to the free exercise of human agency. We are seeking a highly capable and strategic Chief of Staff to lead operational rhythms and high-touch, client-facing delivery—especially where modern AI solutions create leverage. You’ll serve as a force-multiplier to the executive team: aligning priorities, running cross-functional projects, and ensuring crisp execution from intake to impact. You will collaborate closely with account leads and cross-functional teammates across the company.

  • Partner with the Managing Director of AI and executive team to translate priorities into sequenced plans, resourcing, and measurable outcomes.
  • Maintain focus and accountability on near-term deliverables and long-term goals; surface risks and options early.
  • Bring a practical understanding of AI capabilities; convert complex concepts into clear options with trade-offs for leaders and clients.
  • Produce high-quality executive materials (briefings, roadmaps, decision memos) that drive alignment and decisions.
  • Own end-to-end delivery on multiple client engagements involving AI-enabled solutions (e.g., knowledge assistants, workflow automations, content summarization, research copilots), from discovery through launch and post-launch improvement.
  • Run discovery to surface use cases, success metrics, risks, and change-management needs; translate findings into scopes, timelines, and clear acceptance criteria.
  • Coordinate solution build-outs with internal teammates and external partners (no engineering management required): data/connectivity needs, tool selection, light integration planning, and rollout choreography.
  • Set lightweight evaluation routines (accuracy, latency, cost), prompt/playbook management, basic safety/guardrail checks, and UAT plans.
  • Lead standing client check-ins, demo readiness, decision logs, and release notes—presenting succinct options and recommendations.
  • Track time against SOWs, flag changes early, manage subcontractors, and ensure on-budget delivery with clear documentation.
  • Create simple guides, FAQs, and training sessions to help client teams adopt new AI-enabled workflows.
  • Design and continuously improve the operating system for work: intake → triage → prioritization → delivery → QA → launch → measurement.
  • Manage staffing assignments and subcontractor contributions across concurrent workstreams; keep tools current (Asana/Notion, Google Workspace, Slack).
  • Establish shared dashboards for delivery health (timeline, risk, burn, dependency status) and run tight meeting cadences.
  • Prepare agendas, briefings, and executive-ready presentations; synthesize complex information into actionable insights.
  • Provide clear, timely reporting to the Managing Director of AI and stakeholders on progress, risks, and decisions.
  • 5+ years in operations, client services, program/project management, or strategic support roles with direct ownership of client-facing delivery.
  • Demonstrated success leading multi-stakeholder projects end-to-end (scope, timelines, budgets, risk, and change management).
  • AI fluency: understands common LLM-enabled use cases; can shape prompts/playbooks, evaluate quality at a basic level, and choose appropriate off-the-shelf tools or vendors.
  • High proficiency with Google Workspace, Asana/Notion, Slack, and comfort with modern web and content tools; experience preparing polished executive documents and presentations.
  • Familiarity with no/low-code automation (e.g., Zapier/Make), knowledge bases, and responsible AI considerations (privacy, data handling, consent).
  • Base Salary: $100,000–$180,000/yr + performance-based incentives; final compensation commensurate with experience and location.
