Customer Success Manager

About Vitalize

Hospitals still run their most important operations — staffing, labor planning, and capacity — on paper, spreadsheets, and guesswork. It's a system that wastes thousands of hours and millions of dollars every year.

Vitalize replaces this with intelligent, automated staffing operations. Our platform brings real-time decision support to clinical leaders, eliminating manual work, reducing unnecessary labor spend, and unlocking patient capacity for hospitals.

We've raised more than $30M in total funding, are already live across 20+ hospitals, and are scaling fast.

The Role

You'll join a small, early CS team that's still being built. Today, our co-founders are still the primary relationship holders for several key executives, and our deployments team is managing active go-lives without a CSM ready to take over the relationship long-term. That changes with this hire.

You'll own the full success motion for a portfolio of multi-hospital health systems — from deployment handoff through renewal. That means building a tailored success strategy for each account, running QBRs with C-suite health system leaders, driving ROI narratives with real data, and acting as a strategic thought partner on workforce decisions. You're not executing a playbook — you're designing one.

This role is equal parts executive presence, analytical rigor, and cross-functional hustle. You'll work alongside deployments, product, support, and analytics to ensure every customer realizes measurable value from Vitalize and their key executives become referenceable champions within 6-12 months of go-live.

What You'll Own

Customer Strategy & Executive Relationships

• Own the end-to-end success motion for assigned health systems — from deployment handoff through adoption, value realization, and renewal

• Build and maintain multi-threaded relationships across each account: C-suite sponsors, operational directors, and frontline champions

• Run QBRs and executive check-ins that are grounded in data and tied to customer-specific KPIs — not just product updates

• Act as a strategic consultant on workforce strategy — helping leaders connect Vitalize data to decisions on OT reduction, float pool optimization, and labor spend

ROI Articulation & Change Management

• Build ROI narratives that quantify the value Vitalize delivers — financial savings, operational efficiency, workforce outcomes — tailored to the audience (CFO vs. CNO vs. ops director)

• Drive adoption across complex, multi-site organizations with non-tech-savvy users and competing priorities

• Design ongoing education and training motions — not just initial rollout, but sustained engagement that keeps utilization high

• Own the hard conversations when value isn't landing as expected, and work cross-functionally to course-correct

Product & Cross-Functional Partnership

• Translate customer conversations into actionable product insight — distinguish between custom configuration and productizable features, and bring structured feedback to the product team

• Partner with deployments to ensure clean handoffs, track leading indicators during go-lives, and embed early in new customer sites

• Collaborate with analytics to tailor reporting packages per account and ensure the right data is powering your executive conversations

• Work with support to surface systemic issues and ensure customer health isn't eroding below the surface
  

What We're Looking For

Must-haves:

• 5+ years managing enterprise accounts or complex stakeholder environments — CS, consulting, implementation, or healthcare ops

• Executive presence — you can run meetings with C-suite health system leaders, manage expectations, and have hard conversations about value delivery

• Analytical rigor — you build ROI narratives from data, use metrics as leading indicators, and create reports that drive action (not just updates)

• Multi-threading instinct — you naturally build relationships across stakeholder tiers (executive sponsor, operational leads, frontline champions) and tailor your approach to each

• Startup tolerance — you've operated in a high-growth, ambiguous environment where playbooks didn't exist and you had to build the motion

• Willingness to travel — 50% initially (customer site visits during deployments), 25% ongoing

• Based in San Francisco — this is an in-person role

Strong signals (all not necessary!)

• Enterprise software CS experience with a track record of managing complex, multi-site accounts. Prior experience leading or
