Valence has built the only AI native coaching platform for enterprise, offering personalized, expert, and human-like guidance and support to any leader or employee. We’re not just talking about the future of work — we’re building it now, with the most innovative Fortune 500 companies across healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, and technology.
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
In this role, you'll lead enterprise sales strategy and execution for Valence's AI-native coaching platform, driving adoption with Fortune 500 clients across healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, and technology. You'll leverage your deep expertise in AI/ML enterprise sales and competitive positioning to accelerate revenue growth in the rapidly evolving HR tech and leadership development space.
Working alongside our executive team, you'll shape go-to-market strategy, refine sales processes, and establish Valence as the definitive leader in AI-powered enterprise coaching. This role requires someone who has successfully navigated complex enterprise sales cycles and RFP processes in AI-first companies, particularly those who understand the competitive dynamics of selling transformative coaching technology to large organizations.
