Founding Marketing

TL;DR We’re looking for a Founding Marketer to help build the core marketing DNA of Vitalize and define how this company shows up in the world. You’ll sit close to the founders, shape our narrative, and build the marketing backbone that supports 7-figure enterprise deals, executive trust, and a recruiting brand that attracts top 1% talent. You’ll be given a liberal budget and real ownership, and you’ll be expected to use judgment and taste. The Company 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. Labor drives ~60% of hospital costs, and our research shows more than 20% of that spend is preventable. By proactively aligning labor supply with patient demand, Vitalize helps health systems operate efficiently, safely, and sustainably. We’re building the core operating system for hospital workforce operations — competing directly with legacy HR/ERP platforms. And we’re winning. We’re already live across 20+ hospitals, near 8-figures in revenue, and have raised funding from top investors. We’ve 3x’ed revenue in the last 3 months, and are scaling fast.
