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're looking for a Senior Brand + Web Designer who thrives at the intersection of brand storytelling, visual design, and digital experiences. This role goes beyond traditional product design; you'll shape brand identity, marketing campaigns, websites and products design, and big visual ideas from the ground up.
You'll own end-to-end design from concept to execution: crafting compelling brand narratives, designing responsive websites, creating campaign assets, and shaping visual systems that bring our clients' missions to life. You bring a deep love for typography, color, and visual hierarchy and understand that these choices shape clarity, usability, brand trust, and product adoption. This role suits a versatile, craft-obsessed designer who can move fluidly between brand strategy and hands-on execution, and who communicates clearly with both technical partners and non-technical stakeholders.partners.
Our timelines are quick and our standards are high. You'll work efficiently with detail and care, balancing speed with quality across every deliverable.
We hire for talent, not tenure. What matters is your craft, your portfolio, and your ability to elevate the work.
