Freelancing at Human Made
Join Human Made as a freelancer and you’ll feel like part of the team. You’ll be working on interesting and complex projects, alongside some of the industry's top talent. We’re fully remote, and have been for over 10 years, so you can expect well established ways of working, and a vibrant online culture. It’s no wonder that freelancers often choose to join our team on a more permanent basis.
Once you are qualified, you'll be added to our freelance talent pool, and be invited to projects that suit your availability and expertise as soon as they become available, which might not be immediately. Nevertheless, you will integrate as part of the team, so you are expected to join team meetings and activities (although we have a strong emphasis on asynchronous communication) once you start participating in projects.
