About Us

We’re scaling rapidly and expanding our operational capacity to support growth across our teams and clients. Our mission is to empower people with the tools, expertise, and human-centered AI strategies that unlock opportunity and impact.

Our team of creators, builders, and investors specializes in marketing, technology, artificial intelligence, and business—so people with big ideas can expand their agency and live lives they find meaningful.

We partner with organizations of all sizes to explore, design, and implement AI strategies that are secure, scalable, and human-centered. 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.

At Human Agency, we believe AI should amplify human potential—not replace it. Our goal is to empower teams to work smarter, move faster, and unlock new possibilities through thoughtful, responsible innovation.

Role Overview

The Administrative Assistant provides high-trust support across executive priorities, recruiting, and day-to-day operations, with additional support for core finance workflows. You’ll work closely with the Finance & Administration Director as your primary point of collaboration and provide support to other executives and department directors as needed.

This is an international independent contractor role, open to candidates based in Canada to better align with U.S. time zones and operational needs. You will be engaged as an independent contractor and not as an employee of Human Agency. As such, you will be responsible for managing your own taxes, benefits, and compliance with local regulations. This engagement does not create an employer-employee relationship under U.S. or Canadian law.

Operations Support

  • Keep day-to-day operational workflows moving by coordinating stakeholders, tracking deadlines, and ensuring follow-through.

  • Organize and maintain internal documentation, templates, and lightweight SOPs to improve consistency and reduce friction.

  • Support contractor and vendor onboarding by collecting required documentation and ensuring records are complete and current.

  • Assist with onboarding and offboarding processes for employees and contractors; maintain HR and compliance records.

  • Provide administrative support for HR workflows, including benefits documentation support and policy update coordination.

Bookkeeping & Finance Support

  • Prepare invoices and support accounts receivable tracking and follow-up.

  • Assist with vendor payments and reimbursements; collect and organize required backup documentation.

  • Review employee timesheets and expense submissions for accuracy and completeness.

  • Categorize bank feed transactions and support reconciliations in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

  • Maintain organized financial records to support month-end close and audit readiness.

  • Assist with budget tracking and basic financial reporting as needed.

Qualifications

  • Strong organizational and multitasking skills with excellent attention to detail and follow-through.

  • High discretion and comfort handling confidential information.

  • Clear, professional communication skills in English (Spanish or French a bonus).

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
