🏢 Enterprise

📋 Description

• Valinor's mission is to get more products into the hands of the warfighters and public servants who need them. We are a new type of company building hardware and software products for the defense and broader government market. Our company is centered around two key beliefs: We believe that too many products are sitting stuck in the Valley of Death because government go-to-market is too difficult to navigate. We also believe that far too many problems are going unsolved because they do not fit the traditional venture capital mold. • Valinor is taking lessons learned from innovative corporate structures and employing a hub-and-spoke model that allows us to go after problems of any shape or size, all backed by a proven go-to-market platform. Our goal is to dramatically lower the cost and time it takes to build a product in this space, increasing speed to value for technologists and end users. Our process: We hire the best and brightest software or hardware engineers that have a deep passion to build for a mission - our Builders. At the hub, we have our all-star-team of go-to-market operators that provide our Builders with the access, infrastructure, and support necessary to build product faster and cheaper in this space. At each spoke, we create a subsidiary company focused on an individual product, incentivizing the Builder directly in the success of the product and fueling a lean, decentralized engineering team. • Backed by General Catalyst, Founders Fund, and Red Cell Partners, Valinor was founded in 2024 and has established strategic partnerships with Palantir, Anduril, and Helsing. We are building the dream team, and we want you on it. • We're seeking the first hire for Valinor's Mission Operations team. The Mission Operations role is a critical hire that will ensure the success of our product deployments and customer missions.

🎯 Requirements

• Preferred experience: 3 years of supporting U.S. Government customers or working in U.S. Government • Experience translating and decomposing technical concepts into operational requirements and performance specifications • Experience in project management and product deployment roles, with a proven track record of developing effective and collaborative relationships with customers • Meticulous attention to detail, including maintaining accurate records and diligently tracking key project metrics • Extraordinary judgment and composure in high-pressure situations • Willing to travel 50-75% of the time • This role requires the candidate to be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance at the TOP SECRET level.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive salary, equity packages, and benefits, including health, dental, and vision insurance - fully covered for employees. • Unlimited PTO and two-week company holiday at the end of every calendar year. • We are a pro-mental health and pro-family company - we actually encourage employees to spend time with themselves and their families. Valinor also provides fertility benefits to those just beginning that journey. • Fun work environment - we like to laugh and take care of each other, but we also deeply respect the mission in front of us. • Headquartered in Washington DC with additional coworking spaces throughout the country. Remote employees encouraged to apply. We also host team offsites and colocations around the U.S.
