Head of Support

Head of Support 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. We’ve raised more than $30M in total funding, are already live across 20+ hospitals, and are scaling fast! ABOUT THE ROLE At Vitalize, support isn't table stakes, it's a core differentiator. We sell large enterprise contracts to health systems where thousands of nurses, managers, and executives depend on our platform for critical daily operations. The quality of our support directly impacts whether hospitals trust us with their most important workflows. We're hiring a Head of Support to own this function — building the systems, processes, and team that ensure support scales with customer growth without scaling headcount at the same rate. This is a player-coach role: 70% leading and building, 30% hands-on execution on complex and escalated tickets. You'll turn reactive ticket-handling into a proactive, data-driven support operation — and build the foundation for how Vitalize supports hundreds of hospitals, not just a handful. You'll work closely with Customer Success, Product, and Engineering, translating what customers experience into structured, actionable insights that shape the roadmap and drive real outcomes. This is a priority hire. We're moving fast. WHAT YOU'LL DO Build the Product Support Machine - Own support KPIs end-to-end: time to first response, resolution time, customer satisfaction, ticket deflection - Design and implement scalable workflows, playbooks, and internal documentation that reduce manual work and improve consistency - Identify repetitive support patterns and eliminate them through tooling, automation, or better product — treat internal ops as a product to continuously improve - Build real-time visibility into support health: dashboards for ticket volume, resolution time, recurring issues, and customer health signals Lead and Develop the Team - Manage team of 3 support engineers, with plans to scale the function over time - Establish team rituals (standups, ticket reviews, escalation protocols) that drive accountability and quality - Coach team members to handle increasingly complex issues independently - Be willing to jump into the queue yourself when the situation calls for it Be the Voice of the Customer - Synthesize support interactions into structured, actionable feedback for the product team — not just passing along tickets, but identifying systemic patterns and driving fixes - Build the feedback loop between support, success, and product that doesn't exist today - Own incident response end-to-end: triage, communication, resolution, and post-mortem - Run customer-facing enablement: office hours, trainings, and proactive communication that reduces ticket volume at the source Partner Across the Org - Work closely with Customer Success to ensure the success team can focus on strategic, value-driving work rather than firefighting - Collaborate with Product and Engineering to inform the roadmap, and ensure customer problems are solved efficiently - Surface customer health signals that inform executive conversations and account strategy WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - 3–8+ years of experience, with at least 2 years in a support or CX leadership role - Early-stage operating experience at a tech startup (Seed → Series C) — you understand the pace, ambiguity, and scrappiness required - Has managed or led a team through a period of growth or change - Systems thinker with an automation bias - Strong customer communicator — comfortable running trainings + office hours with non-tech savvy end-users - H ...
