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.

• You bring warmth, taste, and professionalism to every interaction—whether with an executive, a new hire, or a vendor.

• 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 SF-based 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.
