Venture Executive - Austin

About the role You run a venture end to end, owning product, customers, revenue, and P&L. We test builders who thrive in ambiguity and ship under pressure. If operating a business excites you, this role fits. About Human Agency We are scaling rapidly and have a growing pipeline of opportunities that demand exceptional talent across disciplines. Our mission is to bring on individuals, from creative producers to technical experts to entrepreneurial leaders, who can help us realize this next chapter of growth. We are a company of doers. Leaders roll up their sleeves, teams work flat, and everyone contributes to what ships. Titles do not insulate us from feedback or basics. We invite critique, learn quickly, and keep raising the bar. The best ideas win here, no matter where they come from, because clients trust us to deliver the strongest outcomes every time. Our clients' missions, products, and bottom lines are sacred. We immerse ourselves in their world, becoming stewards of their goals and partners in solving big problems. Every product, strategy, or asset we create must be both beautiful and functional; practical, usable, and designed for real-world impact. Humans are our most valuable resource, and we only grow by hiring people who push us forward. Across strategy, engineering, design, data, and operations, we seek out teammates who raise the bar and make us better. Always hire up, never down. We partner with organizations of all sizes to explore, design, and implement AI strategies that are secure, scalable, and human-centered. We believe AI should amplify human potential, not replace it, and we build with that conviction in every engagement. From advisory and tooling to implementation and education, we meet clients where they are and help them integrate AI in ways that align with their mission and values. Our goal is to empower teams to work smarter, move faster, and unlock new possibilities through thoughtful, responsible innovation. And through it all, we lead with purpose, love, and adventure. We do meaningful work with people we care about, and we make the ride an adventure worth taking. Because at Human Agency, who we are and how we work are one and the same. Key facts

Location: USA

Engagement: Full-time employment; Canada - Independent Contractor

Compensation: Base salary, performance incentives, and potential equity What you'll do Setting product direction and owning customer outcomes for one venture entirely. Building solutions with AI as core infrastructure, not a side feature, from day one. Finding customers, closing deals, and creating a repeatable path to revenue growth. Hiring and leading a small team while establishing culture and high standards. Making fast choices with incomplete data, killing weak ideas, and doubling down on winners. Sharing progress, lessons, and shifts with studio leaders through honest, transparent reporting. Defining operations, financial performance, and long term strategy for your venture. Chasing meaningful impact by shipping functional, beautiful products that solve hard problems. Requirements You must have run a real venture, product line, or revenue generating business and owned the results. You combine product sense and sales ability, building what people want and convincing them to pay. You use AI as a primary work method, building with tools rather than around them. You have managed a P&L or been financially accountable for unit economics and sustainability. You show proof of work through built, shipped, sold, or grown artifacts, not just titles. You work remotely from the US or Canada, accept some travel, and thrive with autonomy. What you'll own Full venture accountability. You're responsible for product direction, customer acquisition, operations, and financial performance. This is your business to build. AI-native product development. You'll ship product using AI as a core capability from day one - not as a feature, but as the foundation of how you build and scale. Revenue generation and growth. You're expected to find customers, close deals, deliver value, and build a repeatable growth engine. No one else is doing this for you. Team building and leadership. As the venture scales, you'll hire and lead a small, high-performing team. You set the culture. You set the standards. Strategic pivots and decision-making. You'll make calls with imperfect information, kill ideas that aren't working, and double down on what is. Speed and judgment matter more than consensus. Studio reporting and collaboration. You'll regularly share progress, learnings, challenges, and pivots with the studio leadership. Transparency and intellectual honesty are non-negotiable. Who you are Experience & Skills You've run something real before - a startup, a product line, a business unit, or a revenue-generating venture where you owned the outcome. You have both product instinct and sales instinct. You can build something people want and you can convince them to pay for it. You're AI-native in your approach to work. You already build with AI tools, not around them. You understand what's possible and you know how to exploit it. You've managed a P&L or been accountable for financial performance. You understand unit economics, burn rate, and what it takes to make a business sustainable. You have proof of work. Not a resume full of logos - actual artifacts. Things you've built, shipped, sold, or grown. Show us. Mindset & Traits You're self-managing and self-directing. No one is going to tell you what to do tomorrow morning. You figure it out and you execute. You make decisions quickly with incomplete information and you're
