What are the responsibilities and job description for the Deployment Recruiter position at Valon?
About The Company
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.
Deployment is Valon’s tip of the spear. It’s how we take a $100B regulated industry, one full of brittle systems, legacy workflows, and zero tolerance for failure, and transform it from the inside out.
Our deployment teams parachute into client environments, replace decades-old infrastructure with ValonOS, rebuild critical workflows under real regulatory constraints, guide operators through the rollout, and transfer a fully functional, future-proof operation back to the client. This is the proof engine behind every enterprise software deal we sign.
If we deploy well, the industry changes. If we don’t, it doesn’t.
We’re hiring a Deployment Recruiter to help build the teams capable of pulling that off.
What You'll Do
Valon is an equal opportunity employer that is committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace. We prohibit discrimination and harassment of any kind based on race, color, sex, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, genetic information, pregnancy, or any other protected characteristic as outlined by federal, state, or local laws. Valon makes hiring decisions based solely on qualifications, merit, and business needs at the time.

What You'll Do
- 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.
- 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.
- Impact: Your hires determine whether clients launch smoothly, whether ValonOS proves its value, and how quickly we unlock enterprise SaaS adoption.
- Innovation: You’ll recruit for a model that pairs an AI-native operating system with forward-deployed teams—treating implementation as a product, not a services afterthought.
- Talent density: Work with a small, elite recruiting org that partners directly with Deployment leadership. Ideas are pressure-tested, improved, and implemented.
- Growth: Build the hiring architecture for deployment roles as Valon expands into adjacent regulated industries.
