About The Position

At Valon, we believe the details matter-whether it's the taste of the snacks in the kitchen, the flow of an interview day, or the precision of an offer letter. We are seeking a hybrid Talent Experience & Workplace Manager to own the on-the-ground employee and candidate experience in our New York City office. This is a unique opportunity to shape both how our people work day-to-day and how future teammates first encounter Valon. You'll be the heartbeat of our office: keeping operations seamless, creating delightful moments, and supporting the recruiting engine that fuels our growth. The right person is proactive, resourceful, and thrives on making things work better-for candidates, for employees, and for the company.

You thrive in a dynamic environment where priorities shift, and you take pride in being a step ahead.
You have strong organizational skills and can manage multiple projects without dropping the ball.
You bring warmth, taste, and professionalism to every interaction-whether with an executive, a new hire, or a vendor.

Nice To Haves

Experience in office operations, hospitality, recruiting coordination, or a related role is a plus-but attitude, ownership, and precision matter most.

Responsibilities

Keep our office running like clockwork: supplies stocked, equipment functional, meeting spaces ready, and the space always looking sharp.
Partner with vendors (cleaning, food, security, maintenance) to ensure a polished, welcoming environment.
Manage office budgets, purchasing, and contracts with attention to detail and taste.
Plan and execute events that bring the team together-from intimate team lunches to large-scale offsites.
Build creative, memorable experiences that celebrate milestones and strengthen connection.
Infuse warmth and personality into the office environment- well-curated snacks, or small surprises that make people smile.
Be the first face visitors and candidates meet-welcoming, professional, and approachable.
Serve as the go-to contact for employees for office needs, space reservations, local tips
Gather feedback and iterate on ways to improve the workplace experience.
Own the scheduling process for interviews-ensuring seamless, candidate-friendly logistics.
Partner closely with recruiters and hiring managers to provide a high-touch candidate experience.
Anticipate and remove friction: manage reschedules, prep interviewers, and keep communication clear and professional.
Track recruiting pipelines, support candidate communications, and help refine processes for speed and quality.
Act as a trusted partner to hiring managers-flagging bottlenecks, suggesting improvements, and helping Valon raise the bar on talent operations.
