About the Company
Valon is the leading AI platform for mortgage servicing, building the AI-native operating system for regulated finance.
Before providing the system of record that powers the entire industry, we built and ran our own mortgage servicer on it. 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.
ValonOS 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.
We 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.
About the Role
Valon is rebuilding the mortgage servicing industry from the ground up. We're looking for a Technical Program Manager (TPM) to join our team and help us coordinate and launch complex data deployment workstreams that will revolutionize how mortgage servicers operate. This is an exciting opportunity to shape the future of our TPM function and make a significant impact on our data team execution.
In this role, you'll be instrumental in coordinating efforts across multiple teams (data, deployment strategy, engineering, product), ensuring seamless communication, and driving the successful delivery of our most critical initiatives. If you're a seasoned TPM with a passion for tackling challenging problems and a desire to build a function from the ground up, we encourage you to apply.
What You'll Do
- Lead End-to-End Program Management: Own the planning, execution, and delivery of complex technical programs from conception through launch, including defining scope, setting timelines, and managing risks.
- Drive Cross-Functional Coordination: Facilitate effective communication and collaboration between data, deployment strategy, engineering, product, and other stakeholders to ensure alignment and shared understanding.
- Optimize Development Processes: Identify and implement process improvements to enhance efficiency, predictability, and quality across the development lifecycle.
- Manage Stakeholder Expectations: Proactively communicate program status, risks, and dependencies to all relevant stakeholders, ensuring transparency and alignment.
