Creative Advisor - Human Frontier Collective (US)

About the Collective

The Human Frontier Collective (HFC)’s mission is to bring the world's best minds to shape the future of AI. As a Creative Advisor, you’ll bring your creative practice into direct collaboration with Scale’s research and ML teams. You’ll help them understand how work gets made in your field, develop new work together, and provide feedback on how AI models support—or fall short of—real creative processes.

What You’ll Do

• Connect with other creators: Meet and learn from creatives and researchers across HFC and your industry.
• Shape work in your domain: Share the taste, judgment, methods, and creative decisions behind your practice to help inform model development.
• Create alongside the team: Collaborate on briefs and develop new work that helps explore what models can and cannot do in your field.
• Partner with ML and research teams: Define what “good” looks like in your field, review model outputs, flag where AI falls short, and give feedback that shapes how models learn your craft.
• Help peers understand the opportunity: Introduce other creators in your field to the program and share your experience contributing work.

Who Should Apply

We’re looking for leading creators in their field who are interested in shaping AI and how it’s changing creative work. No AI experience needed. Your expertise in your craft matters most, and being connected to others in your field is a plus. This is a paid, part-time role with a flexible schedule.

Why Join

• Have a voice: Contribute your subject-matter expertise and perspective in your domain. Build the future by shaping frontier models.
• Collaborate across disciplines: Work with ML and research teams and connect with other leading creatives.
• Explore new creative possibilities: Make new work through paid, commissioned briefs that challenge what models are capable of doing.
• Get paid for your expertise: Paid $300 hourly, with compensation, time commitment, and project scope shared during your interview.

Application Process

1. Apply: Share your background and a link to your portfolio. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.
2. Portfolio Review: Share one past project you’re proud of. Nothing is used without a signed agreement and payment, and we’ll follow up with next steps.
3. Meet the Team: A paid conversation with our research and ML team to walk through your work.
4. Get Started: Successful candidates are invited to join the Human Frontier Collective as a Creative Advisor.
