Product Operations at Valon

The Product Operations team makes it possible for Valon to build, scale, and continuously improve our product and operations. They are our “swiss army knife” builders who embed into various parts of the business. Depending on the maturity of the operations that they’re embedded in, their role can vary - this can range from doing complex manual ops that aren’t ready to be owned fully by Ops to gathering business requirements to building / scaling processes to helping product prioritize the roadmap. The one common thread is that they do whatever it takes to grow and scale the business.

About the Role

We’re looking for a driven and detail-oriented individual who is passionate about building operations from the ground up and can operate in a fast-paced, rapidly evolving environment. The right candidate can both prioritize for the business strategically and also roll up their sleeves and get into the weeds with the operations.
