• Valinor's primary goal is to ensure essential products reach the hands of those serving our country and the public. We are a pioneering company crafting cutting-edge hardware and software solutions tailored for the defense and wider government sectors. Our philosophy revolves around two core principles: Firstly, we believe that numerous products remain stagnant due to the complexities of government market entry. Secondly, we are convinced that many challenges remain unresolved because they do not align with traditional investment models.
• Valinor embraces innovative corporate strategies and employs a hub-and-spoke approach to tackle problems of various sizes efficiently, all supported by a robust market entry platform. Our aim is to significantly reduce the time and cost involved in product development within this sector, ensuring swift delivery of value to both technologists and end users. Our unique process involves recruiting top-tier software and hardware engineers with a strong dedication to mission-driven projects - our Builders. At the hub, our elite team of market entry specialists equip our Builders with the necessary resources, infrastructure, and assistance to expedite product development at a reduced cost. At each spoke, we establish subsidiary companies dedicated to individual products, motivating the Builder through direct involvement in the product's success and fostering a lean, decentralized engineering team.
• With backing from renowned investors like General Catalyst, Founders Fund, and Red Cell Partners, Valinor was established in 2024 and has cultivated strategic partnerships with industry leaders such as Palantir, Anduril, and Helsing. We are assembling a powerhouse team and want you to be a part of it.
• We are currently in search of a Creative Director to shape the brand narrative for Valinor and our product lines. This role presents a remarkable opportunity to be the inaugural creative addition and contribute to the development of the Valinor brand universe.
• Minimum 5 years of experience in brand development, design, and storytelling. Demonstrated success in cultivating and expanding multiple brands.
• Demonstrated perseverance and a hands-on approach. As an early-stage startup, you will be required to be actively involved in the day-to-day operations. Initially, you may not have a large team reporting to you, necessitating a willingness to roll up your sleeves and get the work done independently. Additionally, we anticipate that you will have a network of contacts to engage external support as needed.
• Passion for our mission is crucial. While prior experience in government or defense is not mandatory, a genuine enthusiasm for our target audience and a commitment to making a positive impact on the world are essential.
• Strong portfolio showcasing your expertise in brand development, creative projects, and writing samples.
• Competitive salary, equity options, and comprehensive benefits package including fully covered health, dental, and vision insurance for employees.
• Unlimited paid time off and a two-week company-wide holiday at the end of each calendar year.
• Emphasis on mental health and family well-being, with encouragement for employees to prioritize personal time with loved ones. Valinor also offers fertility benefits for those embarking on that journey.
• Vibrant and supportive work environment where camaraderie is fostered, while maintaining a deep respect for our mission.
• Headquartered in Washington DC with multiple coworking spaces nationwide. Remote work options available. Company-sponsored team retreats and gatherings held across the U.S.
