Vitalize | Senior Product Manager or Staff Product Manager | San Francisco (hybrid)

What we do: Hospitals run critical operations (staffing, labor planning, and capacity) on spreadsheets, phone calls, and gut instinct. Labor is the biggest cost and hardest operational problem, and it’s still largely manual. Vitalize is building the operating system for hospital labor (and ultimately capacity): we forecast demand from real hospital data (e.g., ADT + historical patterns + acuity) and translate that into concrete staffing decisions: next month’s schedule and the next shift.

Traction: - ~$37M raised - Launched 2024; ~$13M committed ARR across 10+ health systems - Live in 20+ hospitals and growing quickly

The role: We're hiring a PM to own the product experience that takes a hospital from signed contract to successfully using Vitalize in production. Getting there is complex: every health system has its own HRIS, scheduling workflows, union rules, and technical environment. This team builds the custom integrations and internal tooling that make those deployments faster, more repeatable, and less manual as we scale.

We're looking for a PM who... - Led messy third-party enterprise integrations deep enough to make real technical calls with eng - Has built internal tooling with an internal team as the customer - Prioritized a roadmap under live GTM pressure and held the line when the loudest deal wasn't the right build - Startup experience, where the system you were building didn't exist yet
