WHAT YOU’LL DO
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 long‑lead 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 cross‑functional 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 off‑the‑shelf 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 on‑track.
Contribute to the playbook
Codify templates, checklists, and talk tracks that make future deployments faster and more repeatable.

WORK ENVIRONMENT
This is a full-remote role but can be hybrid in our NY or SF offices
High‑ownership environment with small, senior teams.
Expected travel ~10% to client sites and key working sessions, flexing up around milestones.
HOW WE WORK
Small, high‑trust 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.
WHY VALON
Proven in the real world. ValonOS is battle‑tested in live operations, so you’re not pushing a slide‑ware roadmap — you’re deploying capabilities that already deliver value.
Build with elite partners. You’ll work shoulder‑to‑shoulder with former founders, ex‑FAANG engineers, and consultants who prize ownership and pace over ceremony.
Direct line to impact. Your programs unlock measurable P&L outcomes for customers — faster time‑to‑value, lower cost to operate, better customer experience — and those wins shape our product roadmap.
High‑trust autonomy. Small, senior teams with clear goals. You’ll 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 — a rare mix that compounds your judgment and scope.
Momentum and market pull. Legacy transformations are inevitable; our AI‑native approach lets enterprises leapfrog, not inch forward. You’ll be at the tip of that spear.
