Valinor is a new type of defense and government tech company focused on solving the problems others don’t. Our unique model of centralized go-to-market and decentralized engineering allows us to move with unparalleled efficiency to identify unmet needs, build right-sized solutions, and get products where they matter most - in the hands of users. Unlike others in the space, who focus on the flashy problems, Valinor exists to solve the quiet, unaddressed problems–the small but significant ones that lead to cracks in the country’s strength, stability, and security.

Backed by General Catalyst, Founders Fund, and Friends & Family Capital, Valinor was founded in 2024 and has established strategic partnerships with Palantir, Anduril, and Helsing. We are building the dream team, and we want you on it.

What You'll Do

• Manage all administrative needs at Harbor HQ in the Forth Worth Area, Texas, including, but not limited to office operations, inventory management, and any other onsite needs.

• Manage internal process and business infrastructure to support the quarterly budget process, accounts payable, and vendor management.

• Identify areas where you can manage and successfully execute on Harbor cross-functional or Hub <> Harbor initiatives that increase alignment and efficiency.

• Provide mission support when called upon for Harbor clients including project management for high quality deployment execution.

• Be available to jump in to support any of the onsite construction, fabrication, or design of the Harbor units.

• Think creatively, work collaboratively, and go above and beyond to get the job done.

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years in an operational role at a start-up or similar early stage company

• Preferable experience in defense technology or environments where you directly supported U.S. Government customers; bonus if you’ve worked in any branch of the military health system primarily in deployed care settings.

• Strong analytical expertise and meticulous attention to detail, including maintaining accurate records and diligently tracking key project metrics

• Effective communication skills across a variety of stakeholders

• Ability to be onsite at the Harbor facility in the Dallas Forth Worth Area (Haslet, TX)

What Valinor Offers

• Competitive salary, equity packages, and benefits, including health, dental, and vision insurance - fully covered for employees, 401K, development stipends, among others.

• Unlimited PTO and two-week company holiday at the end of every calendar year.

• We are a pro-mental health and pro-family company - we actually encourage employees to spend time with themselves and their families. Valinor also provides fertility benefits to those just beginning that journey.

• Fun work environment - we like to laugh and take care of each other, but we also deeply respect the mission in front of us.

This role requires the candidate be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance.
