Talent Operations Associate

Valence has built the only AI native coaching platform for enterprise, offering personalized, expert, and human‑like guidance and support to any leader or employee. We’re not just talking about the future of work — we’re building it now, with the most innovative Fortune 500 companies across healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, and technology.

Our focus is on the problems that actually decide whether AI changes how organizations operate — the ones with no playbook, no obvious answers, and no guarantee of success. If you want to be part of the small group that defines how AI transforms the future at a global scale, this is your chance.

And this isn’t for everyone. We’re not looking for people who want predictability or incremental progress. We only want those who are restless at the edge of what’s possible, who get bored when things feel “done,” and who are driven to redefine what AI can mean for leaders, companies, and the world. Because at Valence, the work worth doing is the kind that redefines work itself.

This is an opportunity to build and run the operational engine behind how Valence hires and scales. This role is the coordination, systems, data, and automation backbone that allows us to move quickly while maintaining a very high hiring bar. Every search runs through the talent ops systems, every interview touches this role and every data point that informs our hiring decisions lives here.

You will own the day‑to‑day mechanics of hiring: scheduling, interview logistics, ATS hygiene, reporting, workflow design, and automation. You will ensure our hiring managers are prepared, our candidates have a high‑quality experience, and our data is clean and usable. You will also recruit so you uniquely understand the systems you are building and refining. You will run searches, source proactively, inside a system you are constantly improving.

This role is the operational nerve centre of our hiring function. If this role works well, we hire faster, with higher signal, and with less friction. If it does not, everything slows down.

We're the only company pioneering leadership coaching for large enterprises in an AI‑first way. Our mission is to transform how the world's biggest companies approach learning and development, helping teams work better together through AI‑powered personalization that adapts to individual goals and organizational culture using the latest advances in machine learning and natural language processing.

We've been featured in Harvard Business Review, TIME, World Economic Forum, Financial Times, Forbes and an Inc. 5000 fastest‑growing private companies in America. Our clients represent the most diverse and sophisticated enterprise AI implementations globally, including Coca‑Cola, Delta, Nestlé, General Mills, Schneider Electric, Deutsche Telekom, AstraZeneca, Prudential, CVS and Bristol Myers Squibb.

Working at Valence means you'll work directly with Fortune 500 technology leaders, building expertise through the most complex enterprise deployments while gaining insight into diverse organizational approaches to AI transformation. These aren't just any enterprise clients - they're the companies defining what AI‑first business transformation looks like across every major industry.
