Product Deployment Specialist

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. Were not just talking about the future of work were 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 isnt for everyone. Were not looking for people who want predictability or incremental progress. We only want those who are restless at the edge of whats 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.

About the Role

Youll build the repeatable process that helps us introduce new features in a coordinated scalable way across product engineering customer success and our enterprise clients.

In the near term this means rolling up your sleeves with our first cohort of priority clients - getting on the phone working through IT and security blockers and driving direct activation. Over time it means building the playbook internal enablement and adoption infrastructure that lets us scale launches across 80 enterprise clients without it depending on any one person. Youll be the connective tissue between Product/Engineering (whats shipping) and CS/Commercial (what clients need to hear and do).

This role will report to our VP of Engineering but will work very collaborating across different teams.

What Youll Do

Drive direct activation with priority clients

• Partner hands-on with our first cohort of clients to get new features turned on making the calls running the meetings working through IT/security/legal blockers

• Build trusting relationships with both senior sponsors (CHROs SVPs) and day-to-day operators (L&D leads program managers) that translate into faster activation

• Translate new features into client-relevant value not just product specs

Build and own the deployment system

• Design and run a repeatable process for launching new product capabilities across our enterprise base

• Coordinate customer-facing release trains phased rollouts and launch timing across client segments

• Develop launch playbooks internal enablement and customer talk tracks that scale beyond you

• Stand up a beta cohort to quickly validate features with the right mix of clients

• Use adoption data to drive both client conversations and internal roadmap influence

What Were Looking For

Must-haves

• 5 years in customer-facing roles in B2B SaaS - implementation customer success solutions engineering or a similar function where youve owned client outcomes end-to-end

• Track record of personally driving feature adoption or product activation at enterprise clients - meaning youve moved the number not just managed the process

• Strong client presence: equally credible with a CHRO and an IT lead and comfortable picking up the phone to push something forward

• Demonstrated ability to build systems and playbooks where none existed - comfortable creating structure rather than inheriting it

• Project management rigor: can run multiple client workstreams simultaneously without dropping threads

• Data fluency: comfortable tracking activation rates feature adoption and time-to-value and using that data to drive both client and internal conversations

• Cross-functional influence without authority: you are able to get engineering CS and product moving in the same direction proactively and effectively

• Comfort with ambiguity change and a startup operating mode - willing to write the email set up the meeting build the tracker and present the findings all in the same week

Strong differentiators

• Experience running a structured beta program or pilot at an enterprise SaaS company

• Background that spans both relationship-driven activation work AND system-building / process design

• Experience navigating enterprise IT and security review cycles (SSO GDPR data agreements Teams/Calendar integrations)
