Customer Success Manager

About 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.

Responsibilities

• 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

Requirements

• 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 scaling a CS team is a strong plus.
• Healthcare or healthtech experience - has worked in health systems, clinical operations, workforce management, or healthcare consulting. Deep domain knowledge that gives you instant credibility with hospital stakeholders.
• Product-mindedness - you understand the product deeply enough to demo, position value, and push back on scope creep while maintaining trust
• Comfort working with AI/LLM tools to move faster across account strategy, data analysis, and exec prep
• Experience with dat
