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

Most companies still develop their employees the way they did twenty years ago: a course, a workshop, an annual review. Valence, with its talent transformation & intelligence engine powered by Nadia, is changing that. An AI coach that works alongside managers and employees inside Fortune 500 companies in the moment they need it, Nadia is a new way to develop and manage talent.

You'll own how Valence and Nadia are understood, remembered, and chosen by enterprise leaders: brand strategy and activation, content and thought leadership, research, PR and communications, and the Tier 1 experiences that bring the brand to life in person.

You'll inherit real raw material, including a new brand narrative, relationships with leading AI and Future of Work thought leaders, a customer base that wants to advocate for us, and an executive team that is at the strategic frontier of AI + Talent. Your job is to turn those assets into one coherent system that earns brand trust by leading the conversation on how AI is changing work. You'll report directly to our VP of Marketing and work directly with our CEO and the GMs of our US and EMEA businesses to shape our brand presence globally.

This is a leadership role on a lean marketing team operating at startup velocity, and the team is yours to build. You'll manage a content strategist and an events lead from day one, run our brand design and PR agency relationships with the option to bring brand design in house, and grow the function as the business earns it. We work from first principles here: expect to be asked "why?" often, and to enjoy answering it.

What you'll do

Own brand strategy end to end: positioning, messaging architecture, voice, and visual identity. Settle with leadership how Valence and Nadia relate as brands, take the narrative our agency delivers in January and build the system it lands in, with guidelines and decision rights that keep a small team and outside partners on brand without you in every review

Earn authority on how work and management are changing: define the handful of ideas we want to be known for, build our research initiative into a thought leadership program, earn credibility alongside partners like Microsoft, and define and build our executive voice framework

Lead PR and communications: set the strategy, select and manage the agency, shape its scope to what we need rather than a standard package, and build the muscle to act on inbound moments like national press quickly and well

Design the Tier 1 experiences that build our brand with senior buyers, from a conference presence to a closed-door dinner with a dozen CHROs, partnering with our events lead on execution (field marketing and demand generation events stay with the revenue team)

Turn customers into proof: partner with the Executive Engagement and Customer Advocacy lead to produce case studies, user-level stories, across multiple media and formats
