Valon is building the AI-native operating system for regulated finance, starting with mortgage servicing.
We're a Series C company backed by a16z, transforming industries that others have written off as too complex to innovate.
Rather than build on top of broken legacy systems, we took a different approach: we built and operate our own mortgage servicing business managing $110+ billion in loans. This wasn't the end goal, it was how we deeply understood the complexity needed to build software that actually works in regulated industries.
The results speak for themselves. We've transformed mortgage servicing from a 0% margin business into 60%+ margins while dramatically improving customer experience. Major enterprise contracts are now deploying across the industry.
ValonOS is our unified platform that makes every process structured and programmable and it is perfectly positioned for the AI era. When everything flows through one system with rich data, AI agents don't just automate tasks, they continuously improve entire operations. Mortgage servicing is just the beginning of our vision to transform regulated industries and beyond.
Valon is deploying ValonOS, an AIânative operating system for complex, regulated operations, with a highâtouch implementation model that pairs great software with worldâclass onâtheâground execution. As an Implementation Manager, you keep complex, multiâstakeholder programs moving with clarity, pace, and trust. You are the clientâs primary dayâtoâday partner and the internal conductor who aligns Deployment Strategy, ForwardâDeployed Engineering, Product, and Operations to deliver outcomes quickly and safely.
Own the plan of record for an enterprise deployment
Keep track of all tasks, risks, issues, and open items across different work areas. Surface critical path, dependencies, and decision needs with precision.
Drive execution to timeline
Anticipate longâlead blockers, assign DRIs, set clear timelines, and burn down risks. Balance speed with quality in regulated, legacy environments.
Be the main client touchpoint
Build trusted relationships with project manager counterparts and business leaders. Read the room, manage expectations, and translate feedback into crisp actions.
Orchestrate crossâfunctional teams
Coordinate Deployment Strategists, Forward Deployed Engineers, Engineering, Product, and Analytics from discovery through go live.
Manage scope and change
Capture requests, cluster themes, and route to the minimum viable path. Use offâtheâshelf assets and sessions to avoid bespoke work where possible.
Land enablement and adoption
Plan and run training, comms, and readiness for target user cohorts. Track adoption against thresholds and close gaps.
Run executive cadence
Prepare materials and drive steering forums with client executives. Keep decisions, risks, and value tracking transparent and onâtrack.
Contribute to the playbook
Codify templates, checklists, and talk tracks that make future deployments faster and more repeatable.
Clear, living plan of record with no surprises on critical path.
Risks and dependencies surfaced early and burned down proactively.
Transition completed smoothly with minimal business disruption and contingency plans ready but not needed.
Client stakeholders trust the program and feel wellâmanaged; decisions made to cadence.
Adoption targets achieved with trained users and a stable support model.
Minimal bespoke build through smart expectationâsetting and strong use of existing assets.
3â6 years in implementation management, consulting, program management, or similar roles driving complex enterprise rollouts.
Exceptional organization and written/verbal communication. Operate with clarity in ambiguity and highâstakes settings.
Relationship builder with high EQ who earns trustedâadvisor status with counterparts and executives.
Strong judgment on when to escalate, when to say no, and how to scope to the minimum viable path.
Comfortable coordinating across multiple vendors and stakeholders in complex, complianceâsensitive environments.
Experience in implementation management, consulting, investment banking, private equity, hedge funds, or enterprise software deployment where you managed crossâfunctional workstreams under tight timelines.
Background in forwardâdeployed work with product or engineering teams.
Fluency with program tools like Notion, Google Workspace, and project/issue trackers.
Hybrid, highâownership environment with small, senior teams.
Expected travel ~25% to client sites and key working sessions, flexing up around milestones.
Small, highâtrust teams where ownership beats ceremony.
We treat implementation as 50% of the product: success = software + deployment.
Builders over coordinators. You own outcomes, not just tasks.
Proven in the real world. ValonOS is battleâtested in live operations, so youâre not pushing a slideâware roadmap â youâre deploying capabilities that already deliver value.
Build with elite partners. Youâll work shoulderâtoâshoulder with former founders, exâFAANG engineers, and consultants who prize ownership and pace over ceremony.
Direct line to impact. Your programs unlock measurable P&L outcomes for customers â faster timeâtoâvalue, lower cost to operate, better customer experience â and those wins shape our product roadmap.
Highâtrust autonomy. Small, senior teams with clear goals. Youâll make the calls, run the room, and ship. We optimize for leverage, not meetings.
Career compounder. The role blends executive customer exposure, complex transformation, and product influence â a rare mix that compounds your judgment and scope.
Momentum and market pull. Legacy transformations are inevitable; our AIânative approach lets enterprises leapfrog, not inch forward. Youâll be at the tip of that spear.
