Director of Product Design

Location: Remote (U.S. or Canada)
Type: Full-Time

About Us

We’re 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 don’t 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 at 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.

Role Overview

We are looking for a Director of Product Design who thrives on doing, not just managing. This is a hands-on role where you’ll touch everything from email newsletters in Mailchimp to social posts, printed vinyl banners, charts in Figma, high-fidelity website design, and brand system implementation — often in the same day.

We are a flat organization without ego: if you think you’re too good to work on a social post, this is not the place for you. Our timelines are fast — often same-day turnaround — and our standards are high. You’ll be expected to work with detail and precision, support content creation (copy, storyboards, art boards, blog drafts), and leverage AI tools to enhance both the creative and the writing.

Please note: This role requires applicants to be able to work standard business hours aligned with the Eastern Time (ET) zone.
