Company mission
To power the future of homeownership with modern servicing technology.
Role
Who you are
- 3+ years recruiting for consulting, implementation, forward deployment, product operations, or client-facing technical roles in complex or high-velocity environments
- A craft-driven recruiter who builds structured rubrics, hunts for signal, and iterates processes based on what improves quality and speed
- A compelling storyteller able to translate regulated complexity into clear, compelling narratives for candidates and internal partners
- High agency and ownership. You lead kickoffs, set the operational cadence, drive alignment, surface risks early, and solve problems before they bottleneck delivery
- Comfort with ambiguity and tight timelines. You operate well in searches where ideal profiles are rare, requirements evolve, and deadlines come from client commitments—not internal preference
- Communicator with precision. Crisp writing, structured reasoning, clean documentation, and communication that builds immediate trust
- Metrics-driven habits: visible goals, weekly reporting, response-time SLAs, dashboards that highlight risk, and a continuous improvement mindset
What the job involves
- Run high-precision, full-cycle searches aligned to Valon’s deployment playbook—tight role scoping tied to client timelines, sourcing strategy design, rigorous evaluation loops, and decisive closing
- Source unconventional but on-target profiles across consulting, implementation, technical operations, and product/ops generalists—individuals who create structure in ambiguity and thrive in high-accountability environments
- Design signal-rich evaluation systems that measure what Build–Operate–Transfer actually requires: structured judgment, systems thinking, client-facing rigor, technical depth, operational problem-solving, and the ability to learn fast under pressure
- Drive the recruiting operating rhythm with Deployment leadership: clear weekly calibration, forecasted hiring plans tied to client milestones, ATS discipline, dashboards that expose risk early, and tight execution standards
- Own and articulate the narrative. Communicate why ValonOS + embedded deployment teams dramatically derisk enterprise transformation—and why elite operators choose this environment over traditional consulting or tech roles
- Engineer a candidate experience grounded in precision and trust. Thoughtful preparation, tight turnarounds, explicit expectations, proactive communication, and zero ambiguity
- Use AI as a 10x force multiplier for sourcing, research, personalization, and pipeline analytics—with human judgment as the arbiter
- Build the system for scale by creating reusable scorecards, structured rubrics, work samples, and closing playbooks that become the blueprint for deployment hiring across Valon’s future industries
Our take
The mortgage servicing market is huge but surprisingly outdated. In the US alone, it covers roughly $13T in mortgages, yet many servicers still use legacy systems and manual processes to manage payments, compliance and customer support. Because mortgage servicing involves complex regulations and many exceptions, these older systems can be inefficient and costly to run, creating a strong opportunity for modern technology to improve how the industry operates.
Valon is trying to modernize this space with ValonOS, an AI-native operating system built specifically for mortgage servicing. The platform doesn't just store loan data, it also captures the rules and workflows behind servicing decisions. This allows companies to automate routine processes, improve visibility into operations, and manage compliance more easily. To prove the system works, Valon has also built and run its own large mortgage servicing business on the platform.
The company has gained strong backing from major industry players too. Investor Rithm Capital Corp. plans to roll out Valon's technology to over 4M homeowners through Newrez, one of the largest US mortgage servicers. If this rollout succeed, it could demonstrate that modern, AI-driven systems can operate at industry scale and potentially reshape mortgage servicing.
