About Valon

Valon’s mission is to empower every homeowner. We believe the journey of homeownership begins when you receive your keys—but lasts far beyond. At Valon, we’re building technology that reimagines mortgage servicing, starting with a platform that makes managing a mortgage simple, transparent, and stress-free. We’re a growing team of engineers, operators, product leaders, and servicing experts working to transform the industry one homeowner, and lender, at a time.

Product at Valon

The Product team at Valon is focused on designing and scaling a next-generation platform that delivers an exceptional experience for homeowners while enabling operational excellence for our servicing teams. We work at the intersection of regulation, finance, and technology—balancing the need for compliance and controls with the opportunity to build delightfully simple, transparent tools for consumers.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Director of Product Management to lead the execution of Valon’s enterprise SaaS software for default mortgage servicing. Valon’s software has demonstrated disruptive efficiency at our internal mortgage servicer, and we are now in the process of shipping this software to the rest of the industry.

The Default team operates at the nexus of multiple end customers, including homeowners, Valon’s servicing teams, investors, regulators, and law firms. This role will need to balance competing interests across those end customers, through developing complex technological solutions to address severely delinquent mortgages and mortgages impacted by legal proceedings. As a relatively new function at Valon, you will have the opportunity to launch a number of new products from scratch. As a senior leader, you will oversee a team of product managers and collaborate closely with Engineering, Design, Servicing Operations, and Compliance to ensure Valon delivers excellent products quickly.
