What are the responsibilities and job description for the Solutions Engineer, AI Product position at Valence?
Valence has built the first-to-market AI native coaching platform for enterprise, offering personalized, expert, and human-like guidance & support to any leader or employee. At Valence, we're not just talking about the future of work – we're actively shaping it.
From your first interaction with us, you'll notice we're different. By working here you won't just implement solutions for our clients; you'll be helping to architect the future of leadership in the age of generative AI. And we'll be honest – this is not for everyone. But for those with an insatiable desire to work fast on complex, unsolved challenges with some of the best talent in tech, this could be the career-defining opportunity you've been waiting for.
The Role
This founding role will own and revolutionize how we deliver our AI coaching platform across the enterprise. You'll be the strategic architect of how Nadia, our AI coach, adapts to each organization's unique needs - from customizing landing pages and coaching flows to fine-tuning response patterns and implementing specialized features. Working at the intersection of technical implementation and client strategy, you'll ensure every user has a truly personalized experience that feels native to their company culture, whether that's at the organizational, divisional, or regional level.
This is a role for someone who can both execute and innovate. You'll be responsible for developing our customization playbook from the ground up, working directly with our Customer Success team to conduct technical discovery sessions, gather requirements (from leadership frameworks to performance processes), and implement solutions through sophisticated prompt engineering and variable configuration. More than just taking requests, you'll be our expert voice in guiding clients toward optimal solutions that scale, building the foundation for how enterprise-grade AI coaching evolves.
About Valence
We're a Series A B2B SaaS company, backed by Insight Partners, that's pioneering the first generative AI leadership coach for large enterprises. Our mission is to transform how the world's biggest companies approach learning and development, helping teams work better together. We've been featured in Harvard Business Review, and our client list reads like a Who's Who of global business, including Coca-Cola, Nestlé, General Mills, ServiceNow, AstraZeneca, Prudential, Citi, CVS and Bristol Myers Squibb.
What You'll Do
This role is 3 days a week (Tues - Thursday) minimum in office in Union Square, at 33 Irving Place. Candidates must be comfortable working with colleagues in different time zones (UK), and have valid travel documents without work authorization restrictions in the US.
Diversity and Inclusion
We are dedicated to creating a diverse and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and supported. We encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds and offer accommodations upon request throughout the hiring process. If you have any questions, please reach out to Allison Langille, Head of People, at jobs@valence.co.
