You can decompose ambiguous operational problems and find the levers that matter. * Practical comfort with technical tools. You do not need to be a professional engineer, but you should be the kind of person who will use SQL, data, and AI tooling answer questions yourself. * Demonstrated AI fluency-not "I've used ChatGPT," but evidence you restructure workflows around AI and coding agents. * Clear, calibrated communication with technical and non-technical stakeholders-from operators to C-suite. * Ownership maturity: you move quickly with incomplete information and stay accountable when the answer changes. * Bachelor's degree required. Nice to have: Background in mortgage servicing, financial services, healthcare, government, or another regulated, operationally intense industry. Prior exposure to post-implementation success, workflow design, staffing model development, or business reviews at scale. Mortgage servicing knowledge is not required. Curiosity, horsepower, and the ability to learn a complex, regulated industry quickly are required. ## Description * Builds and monitors operational health dashboards (in partnership with analytics) from go-live onward, using data to identify where clients are struggling to complete work correctly, timely, or efficiently. * Investigates root causes through data and direct shadowing-training gaps, visibility issues, process debt, product gaps-and drives resolution instead of documenting problems. * Facilitates client development of new SOPs and operating processes that fully leverage ValonOS; patches understanding gaps with Implementation and escalates product holes to R&D through ProdOps. * Operates as a proactive safe-hands backstop when needed so client operations do not fail while permanent fixes are built. Clients ultimately own their outcomes; your job is to minimize thrash and drive durable success. * Owns the ongoing business-unit-level client relationship: regular business updates, executive business reviews, and escalated concerns. * Develops and maintains staffing models grounded in ValonOS data and each client's operating model-identifying over- or under-staffing and partnering with commercial leads on right-sizing. * Drives adoption of new products and surfaces upsell opportunities-loan/FTE growth, AI products, and expanded ValonOS usage-working closely with Product teams on rollout playbooks. * Serves as the two-way conduit between clients and R&D: performing discovery, surfacing gaps and feedback, and ensuring successful adoption of shipped features. How we work A few things we actually believe, not aspirationally: * You own the outcome, not a ticket queue. You do not log a gap and walk away. You diagnose, fix process, influence product, and measure whether client operators can do their jobs. * Proactive beats reactive. Shifting from firefighting client escalations to proactive safe-hands and early signal from dashboards is how we scale across multiple deployments. * You figure it out. There will be incomplete data, undocumented legacy behavior, tense tradeoffs between client and product, and unclear ownership. The job is to create clarity anyway. * Code and data beat decks. A working query, a real dashboard, a validated SOP, or a clear operating decision wins over prettier slides. * You build alignment, but you don't hide behind consensus. You synthesize, recommend, commit, and defend decisions with evidence-from business unit leaders to R&D. * AI fluency is how the work gets done. Our team uses coding agents and in-house AI tooling. Our highest performers extend these tools and inform our engineers on what to build next. * You are writing the playbook. Deployment Success is a new function built for a rapidly expanding business. Every framework will be built by someone in this seat figuring it out for the first time. What success looks like You are succeeding here if client leaders trust you with their operation and senior Valon leaders feel the client's business is in safe hands. That means: * Client operators can correctly and compliantly service on ValonOS-measured by business-unit-specific KPIs. * You can walk into a domain you do not understand, build a working model quickly, find the data and people who matter, and drive an operational outcome-not just a recommendation. * Your deep understanding of the client deployment shifts client behavior and informs company-level reviews. * You identify and advance revenue opportunities-stabilized loan/FTE growth and longer-term upsell-without losing sight of operational fundamentals. * You move fast without becoming sloppy. You are energized by incomplete context, not paralyzed by it. * You can hold a room of senior client leaders and still go low-level enough to shadow an operator, debug a workflow, or query the warehouse. * If you manage people, your pod gets sharper: clearer decisions, faster learning loops, stronger client trust, and better ICs. Who thrives here This role is for people who have repeatedly been handed messy, important operational problems after the "launch" and found a way to make things actually work. We are especially excited by high-horsepower operators from servicing operations, enterprise implementation, customer success in complex environments, strategy consulting, banking, Chiefs of Staff, product or business operations, and people from other intense regulated-industry environments who have had to solve ambiguous problems under pressure. The common thread is not pedigree. It is speed of learning, quality of judgment, and willingness to own the outcome after go-live. You may be a fit if: * You are restless around operational ambiguity. Metrics are red and nobody agrees why-you start investigating anyway. * You have taught yourself new tools because the work demanded it (SQL, dashboards, AI agents, process documentation systems). * You are comfortable being both strategic (business reviews, staffing models, expansion) and extremely low-level (shadowing ops, rewriting SOPs) in the same week. * You can communicate clearly with client executives, operators, engineers, and internal partners without changing the substance of your thinking. * You care about durable client outcomes, not just hitting a go-live date. Who may struggle here We are direct about fit because the cost of a mismatch is high-for us, for clients, and for you. This is probably not the right role if: * You prefer the adrenaline of greenfield implementation over the sustained ownership of making an operation run. * You prefer making recommendations over being accountable for whether operators can actually do the work. * You are uncomfortable with technical ambiguity, data messiness, or learning tools like SQL and AI agents quickly. * You want client, product, engineering, and operating problems to be neatly separated-this role sits at every intersection. * You are looking for a predictable support queue with defined SLAs and ticket routing. * For more senior levels, you are uncomfortable with commercial conversations (staffing right-sizing, upsell, expansion)-these are part of the role., Deployment Success Senior Associate: Owns a given business unit's operational success at one to two clients. Deployment Success Manager: Works with multiple client business units at one to two clients. Partners effectively with client business unit leaders to drive business outcomes.
