Descripción del empleo

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.

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.

The Role

In this role you'll be at the forefront of driving high-priority initiatives for our leaders. Structured as a mission-based role, you'll be housed with one team and one leader at a time, giving you the depth to learn how the business runs while you identify new opportunities, diagnose problems, and unblock key objectives to help the company scale. This is not an entry-level role, it's built for experienced professionals, ex-consultants and startup operators alike, who want to accelerate their careers by embedding across a fast-moving, AI-first company rather than staying in one lane. You'll sit somewhere across our commercial spectrum, from pre-sales to post-sales, depending on where the business needs you most and where your career experience lies. Responsibilities span client-facing work like strategic storytelling and direct customer support, internal process design, client execution work like standing up pilot programs and managing early deployments, work at the frontier of applied AI to diagnose problems and surface new opportunities, and company-building initiatives tied to board activities, metrics, and quarterly planning. Each tour builds toward the next, giving you a rotating, high-leverage view of the business few roles at this stage can offer.

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.
