Product CEO / Venture Studio Director
Job description
About the role
You are an entrepreneur first and accountable for owning a venture from zero to one inside the Human Agency studio. This role is a hybrid of CEO and product leader where you define the framework, set the cadence, and run the weekly studio meetings as the central point of accountability. You will sell the vision to partners, customers, and investors while deploying AI and agents as core infrastructure rather than peripheral features. You are expected to raise the bar, invite critique, and prove that something works or decide when it should stop. If this sounds less like a traditional job and more like building a venture inside a growing studio, this is your opportunity.
Key facts
What you'll do
Build and operate your own venture from zero to one within the Human Agency studio environment and define its trajectory.
Set the evaluation, funding, and scaling framework for all ventures moving through the studio under your oversight.
Run the weekly studio syncs and own the accountability rhythm for every active initiative in the house.
Sell the vision convincingly to partners, customers, and investors to secure commitment and drive outcomes.
Deploy AI and agents as foundational infrastructure in every solution you create, not as an afterthought or feature.
Translate ambiguous problems into clear product and business decisions while maintaining a builder-first mindset.
Champion a culture where the best ideas win, regardless of hierarchy, and feedback drives rapid improvement.
Close deals and move stakeholders by combining product intuition with sales ability in high-stakes conversations.
Ensure every product, strategy, or asset you ship is both beautiful and functional with real-world impact.
Act as the lead critique for the studio, challenging assumptions and elevating the quality of work across teams.
Maintain a relentless focus on shipping, iterating, and validating outcomes instead of getting trapped in process.
Partner closely with clients to immerse yourself in their world and align solutions with their mission and values.
Drive responsible AI integration that amplifies human potential and supports clients in working smarter and moving faster.
Uphold the standard that titles never insulate anyone from feedback, basics, or the expectation to always hire up.
Contribute to a culture of trust, curiosity, and accountability where ownership, learning, and adventure define the daily experience.

You must be comfortable with ambiguity at every level, whether defining what should be built or responding when something is on fire.
You must have zero interest in process for process's sake and instead focus on building, shipping, and iterating based on outcomes.
You must operate with a builder-first mindset and prioritize doing over debating in fast-paced, high-stakes environments.
You must align with Human Agency's commitment to creating beautiful, functional, practical, and usable solutions for real-world impact.
You must be willing to live and lead by the principle that the best ideas win, no matter where they originate.
