Valarian Technologies is a dual-use technology company building critical tools to safeguard the future in an era of evolving global security challenges. We're rethinking security beyond traditional military domains, addressing asymmetric threats that impact our technological advantage, economic strength, and democratic institutions.

 

We build Acra – the platform foundation for everything we do as a dual-use technology company. The platform’s name, rooted in the Greek word for citadel (or, fortress), reflects the design and purpose of our infrastructure-agnostic secure enclaves: protecting critical data. Some of the government and commercial workflows include: increased operational resiliency for mission-critical systems and functions; enabling organizations to more quickly and widely adopt emerging technologies while ensuring the integrity of their intellectual property; information flow during disaster response scenarios, and zero-trust / least-privilege environments for M&A, attorney-client privileged communications, etc. And we’ve only scratched the surface.

At our core, we're driven by a shared mission and a belief in making a tangible impact on our world. Whether you join our London HQ or the wider global organisation, you’ll be a part of collaborative, high-performing teams, creating cutting-edge software, platforms, and infrastructure.

 

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Executive Assistant to join our growing team. As an EA, you will play a critical role in supporting our leadership team and helping to keep the company running smoothly.

 

You’ll work directly with our CEO and/or other members of the executive team to manage their day-to-day operations, prioritise time effectively, and ensure they stay focused on what matters most. You’ll play a critical role in keeping our leaders organised, informed and prepared – acting as a trusted partner in the fast-paced environment of a growing tech company.
