About Valur

At Valur, we are on a mission to democratize tax strategies that have traditionally been reserved for the ultra-wealthy. Similar to how Hims revolutionized access to healthcare, we are building the system to streamline complex tax planning tools — making them smart, simple, and accessible to everyone.

We started by simplifying the creation and management of irrevocable trusts, and today we offer a full suite of solutions addressing capital gains, income, and estate and gift tax obligations. Our proprietary platform delivers real-time tools and education, enabling individuals and their advisors to evaluate, select, and implement best-in-class tax mitigation strategies — from Charitable Remainder Trusts (CRTs), QSBS stacking to dynasty trusts and beyond.

We've scaled to 7-figures of annual revenue with a 12-person team and partnerships with top investment advisory firms. We've raised from Vibe Capital, Box Group, Canaan Partners, BasisSet, and notable angels. Now, we're taking our next major step: launching a licensed Nevada Trust Company — and we need a founding Trust Officer to help build it.

Our Values

Customer Centricity: Our job is to be our customer's best partner.

Ownership: Everyone here is an owner. We identify problems and solve them.

Growth: We're never satisfied; we aim to be better every day.

Urgency: We prioritize the highest-impact work and solve it now.

About This Role

This is a rare opportunity to be the founding Trust Officer of a new Nevada-licensed trust company operating inside a fast-scaling fintech. You won't be joining a legacy institution; you're helping build one from the ground up.

As our first Trust Officer, you will own the day-to-day fiduciary administration of our trust accounts, serve as the Nevada-resident officer, and work closely with our Client Success, Legal, and Product teams to deliver a trust administration experience that is both legally rigorous and genuinely client-centric. You'll help us design the operational infrastructure — the workflows, compliance checklists, client communications, and review processes — that will scale with our growing book of business.

The trust structures we work with today are irrevocable trusts. You should know this world well and be excited to improve the value and experience grantor’s and and beneficiaries receive.

If you're interested, please send 1–3 paragraphs describing a time you helped a client better understand their trust or identified an opportunity they were missing. What was the situation, and what did you do?
