About the role

The missing piece is someone who lives in the field, understands how construction actually works, and can connect the dots between emerging technology and real jobsite needs.
Field Intelligence & Expert Knowledge Capture

We partner with large design-build companies (~$10B revenue) that employ thousands of project engineers and project managers running complex jobsites across the country.
You'll travel to active jobsites, shadow project teams, and develop a deep, current picture of how work gets done, where it breaks down, and where technology can genuinely help.
Intelligence: capturing expert knowledge from the people who actually build things, understanding the technology landscape with depth and nuance, and feeding those insights directly into Human Agency's venture studio and product roadmap.
Your perspective shapes what we build, who we invest in, and how we think about making our design-build partners great.
Synthesize field observations into actionable briefs for Human Agency's venture studio and product teams, directly informing what to build, what to invest in, and where the biggest opportunities are.
Build and maintain a living knowledge base of construction workflows, pain points, and technology gaps across our design-build partners' project portfolios.
Develop technology fit assessments: given what you see in the field, where could a given tool actually create value vs. where would it be shelfware? Your judgment on this is the product.

You know what a three-week lookahead is, you've seen a PE's actual day, and you understand the difference between how construction is supposed to work and how it actually works.
You follow the space obsessively - you know the players, the platforms, the funding rounds, and the gaps.
You have a point of view on where it's all heading.
You can teach this to others.
Exceptional communication skills across audiences - you can have a credible conversation with a superintendent on a slab at 6am and brief a C-suite on technology strategy at 2pm.
Comfort with heavy travel (60-80%) to jobsites across the country.
Direct experience with construction technology platforms (Procore, PMWeb, OpenSpace, Bluebeam, BIM tools, or similar) - either as a power user, implementer, or builder.
Experience in technology evaluation, venture analysis, or strategic advisory roles where your judgment on "will this actually work" was the deliverable.
Familiarity with how AI products are built - understanding how field insights and user research translate into product decisions.
Comfort operating in a consulting structure where you're a Human Agency team member embedded in a client's organization and culture.

Brief Human Agency and client leadership on contech trends, investment-worthy companies, and technology bets with a practitioner's perspective, not a vendor's pitch.
Contribute directly to Human Agency's venture studio thesis on where the AEC industry is heading and which technology gaps represent real opportunities.
Help jobsite teams understand and adopt AI-assisted workflows that Human Agency has built for the client - tools for submittals, change orders, RFP assessment, meeting synthesis, quality knowledge, and more.
Run hands-on coaching sessions (1:1, small group, lunch-and-learns) that translate AI capabilities into construction language.
You're teaching a PM how this saves them an hour on submittals, not lecturing about large language models.
Identify the highest-leverage AI use cases for specific roles and project types based on what you're seeing in the field, and work with our product team to customize solutions accordingly.
Serve as the credible, trusted voice on AI and technology for field teams.
You earn this by understanding their work, not by evangelizing from a slide deck.
