Head of Marketing at Vitalize

Job description

About Vitalize Health systems still run critical operations like staffing, labor planning, and capacity on spreadsheets, phone calls, and guesswork. Vitalize is building the AI operating system for how health systems manage labor and capacity. The impact is real: we save hospitals millions in unnecessary labor spend, give clinical leaders back 10–20 hours every week, and are often the reason staff and leaders stay. We’re trusted by leading health systems across the country and have raised more than $31M from top healthcare and technology investors, including our own customers.. Our Values We hire and grow everyone against the same four values. Each one comes from a real Vitalize story—interview with us to hear them! 🚗 Push the Car. Step in regardless of role. We help wherever we're needed, own problems end to end, and don't stay in our lane. People can count on us. 🏥 Premier 1K. We show up for our customers, always. Nearly everyone visits a customer site in their first month, and customer feedback informs everything we do. 🗣️ Run Towards the Ugly. Name the ugliest truth first, then propose the fix. Candor over comfort—we call out what's broken, and never get complacent. This shapes our craft. 💡 Think Bigger Fridays. See the gap, fill it—no permission required. Every decision is an experiment: we run it, let the results decide, and drive real impact from day one. About Vitalize's Marketing Team We're looking for our first Head of Marketing to build the function from the ground up. You'll define the strategy, establish how marketing operates, determine where we invest, and hire the team that will help take Vitalize through its next stage of growth. In the beginning, you'll do a little bit of everything. You'll spend time with customers, launch campaigns, shape product positioning, partner closely with Sales, build our brand, and create the playbook that future marketers will inherit. Over time, you'll build the organization around you. You'll decide which capabilities to hire first, how the team should evolve, and what great marketing looks like at Vitalize. This isn't an opportunity to manage an existing team; it's an opportunity to build one. The Role Marketing should become one of Vitalize's primary growth engines. As the marketing leader, you'll own the function end-to-end. You'll bring an operator's mindset to the role, owning the strategy to drive enterprise pipeline, shape how the market understands Vitalize, support our sales organization, launch new products, build our employer brand, and establish us as the defining company in healthcare operations. This is a true builder's role. You'll define the strategy, establish the operating cadence, hire great people, and create the systems that allow marketing to scale. At the same time, we expect you to remain deeply connected to the work itself. You should enjoy interviewing customers, writing positioning, reviewing creative, digging into data, partnering with Sales, and launching campaigns just as much as building teams and setting strategy. We're looking for a leader who believes the best executives never become too far removed from the craft. What You'll Do Build the marketing organization—Our marketing organization does not exist at the moment. You'll design the strategy, define how the team operates, establish priorities, and hire exceptional people Build a marketing engine that drives growth—Marketing exists to accelerate the business. You'll develop the playbook that consistently generates enterprise pipeline, strengthens our position in the market, enables our Sales team to win, and supports long-term revenue growth. You'll partner closely with Sales and Growth Operations to understand where growth comes from, identify where marketing can create leverage, and continuously improve the engine. Success in this role won't be measured by campaigns launched—it will be measured by business outcomes Turn customer success into our greatest competitive advantage—We believe
