That gave us a real regulated environment to prove our technology could replace the mainframe systems servicers have used for decades. Carrington acquired that servicer and adopted ValonOS as its core platform, allowing us to focus entirely on scaling our SaaS platform.\nValonOS is now on track to power 1 in 6 U.S. mortgages across major mortgage servicers like Newrez, Carrington, and ServiceMac. Every process on the platform is structured and programmable, enabling our AI agents to perform core servicing work, like handling payments, escrow, and homeowner questions, directly within the system's controls.\nWe recently raised a $150 million Series D at a $2.3 billion valuation by new investor Ribbit Capital, with continued support from existing backer a16z, amongst others.\nAbout the role\nBe the People Partner for the teams that make Valon work: the ones deploying ValonOS, the ones selling it, and the ones running the company behind them.\nYou will be a trusted partner to leaders across Deployment and Implementation and the builder & owner of a People Programs roadmap for this group. You will help leaders make better decisions about organization design, workforce planning, manager effectiveness, performance, talent, and change-and then turn recurring needs into programs, tools, and operating rhythms that work in practice. This role sits at the intersection of strategic partnership and program building: you will advise Deployment and Implementation leaders while creating the manager and talent practices the organization needs next.\nThis is a hands-on role for someone who can move between a senior leader conversation, a manager coaching session, and the details of shipping a program. You will work closely with the People team along with key stakeholders within Deployment and G&A.\nWhy this is the most interesting People problem you’ve (probably) never thought about\nMost People Partner roles tune an organization that is already stable. This one asks you to help build the organization while it is running.\nOur Deployment teams migrate decades-old regulated operations onto ValonOS. One client called it “open-heart surgery while the patient is still walking around.” Timelines are tight, executives are watching, and many of the managers leading the work are managing for the first time. GTM is growing beyond founder-led sales. G&A supports a company whose business model is changing in real time.\nThat creates people problems that keep repeating: roles that need redefining after a reorg, managers who need better tools for feedback and delegation, talent decisions that need a consistent process. Your job is to spot the patterns and turn them into programs and operating rhythms that scale. The work sits close to company strategy, is visible to the executives you partner with, and lets you point to exactly what changed because of it.\nWhat you’ll do\nPartner with Deployment and Implementation leaders\nAdvise leaders on team structure, role clarity, spans and layers, workforce planning, headcount, and growth.\n\nHelp leaders navigate reorganizations, operating-model changes, and the periods of re-onboarding and clarification that follow them.\n\nBring a clear point of view on manager effectiveness, team health, retention, and talent risks.\n\nTranslate business plans and operating challenges into practical people decisions.\n\nBuild manager capability and learning programs\nCreate and improve a manager-development program that helps managers delegate, give feedback, manage performance, develop people, and lead through change.\n\nBuild a practical learning and development roadmap for Deployment and Implementation, including manager learning, role-specific development, and career growth.\n\nEquip managers with playbooks, tools, training, and recurring forums they will actually use.\n\nCoach managers and leaders directly on difficult people and leadership situations.\n\nOwn the People Programs roadmap\nOwn the annual and quarterly roadmap for manager capability, learning and development, performance and talent practices, and organizational change support for the client group.\n\nStrengthen performance management, talent reviews, development planning, promotion readiness, and succession thinking.\n\nTurn recurring employee or manager challenges into scalable programs, templates, and operating rhythms.\n\nMeasure whether programs are improving manager effectiveness, development, retention, engagement, and team health; iterate based on what the data and employees tell us.\n\nOperate as a senior member of the People team\nPartner with People Operations, People Relations, Talent Acquisition, and Legal on programs and complex situations.\n\nBring structure and judgment to ambiguous, high-stakes, and fast-moving work.\n\nUse employee and organizational data to identify patterns, prioritize work, and communicate tradeoffs.\n\nHelp the People team build a consistent, high-quality experience for leaders and employees as Valon grows.\n\nWhat success looks like in the first year\nDeployment and Implementation leaders see you as a trusted, high-judgment partner.\n\nThe group has a clear People Programs roadmap with visible ownership, priorities, and measures.\n\nManagers have stronger tools and habits for feedback, performance, delegation, development, and leading through change.\n\nA practical learning and development approach is in place and being used.\n\nReorganizations and operating-model changes are supported with clearer role definition, communication, and re-onboarding.\n\nPerformance and talent practices are more consistent and useful to leaders and employees.\n\nYou can show what changed, what worked, and where the next investment should go.\n\nWhat we’re looking for\n8+ years of experience in an HRBP, People Partner, or equivalent role, with meaningful experience advising senior leaders and executives.\n\nExperience supporting an operationally complex organization such as deployment, implementation, professional services, operations, or a similarly cross-functional environment.\n\nA track record of building and shipping people programs, especially manager development, learning and development, performance, talent, or organizational change programs.\n\nStrong judgment and comfort operating in ambiguity, with the ability to move from strategy to execution without losing the thread.\n\nExcellent manager-coaching skills and the ability to earn trust while being direct about hard issues.\n\nExperience with organization design, workforce planning, performance management, talent reviews, and change management.\n\nComfort using data to diagnose organizational problems and measure program outcomes.\n\nStrong written and verbal communication, discretion, and empathy.\n\nWillingness to work in person with the team in New York City.\n\nMortgage or financial-services experience is helpful, but not required. You do need to learn a complex business quickly and care about how the work gets done.\nWhy this role\nThis is an opportunity to shape how a critical operating organization grows at Valon. You will have the scope to influence leaders directly, build the people programs that are still missing or need to mature, and make the manager and employee experience materially better as the company scales.\nLocation\nThis role is based in New York City. We use in-person time as a tool for speed, trust, and hard problem-solving, which matters even more for a role this close to leaders and managers. Expect to be in the NYC office regularly. We do not manage this by rigid attendance rules; we expect people in this role to use judgment about where the work gets done best.\nBenefits\nCompensation: competitive base salary range of $180K-$225K with a meaningful stake in the company via equity, and 401k plan.\nThis Base Compensation pay range applies to our New York City located staff and may differ according to location.\n\nHealth & well-being: we'll invest in your physical and mental well-being with comprehensive medical, dental, & vision benefits\n\nCommuter benefits: We offer pre-tax deductions for public transportation, rideshare services, and parking expenses to make your commute more affordable and convenient\n\nGrow together: Company wide orientation for you to successfully onboard and other learning & development opportunities including regular review cycles that feature 360 degree feedback\n\nPlay together: quarterly budgets for team and company outings. Use it for team swag, cooking classes, or team dinners!\n\nGenerous time off: flexible paid time off, sick days, and 11 company holidays\n\nBaby bonding time!: 12 weeks off for both birthing and non-birthing parents - fully paid so you can focus your energy on your newest addition\n\nThroughout the interview process, please remember that emails will only be from valon.com email addresses.
