You care. About people, about purpose, about doing work that matters.

You’re the kind of person who sees a broken system and asks, “How can I fix this?” You’re not afraid of a challenge—in fact, you’re energized by it. You move fast, but you think things through. You don’t just get things done, you get the right things done.

At Vitable, we thrive on autonomy and collaboration. That means you have the space to own your work, make smart decisions, and lead with initiative, but you also know when to pull others in, ask questions, and work as a team.

You’ll fit right in if you’re:

• Motivated by mission
• Someone who gets sh*t done (and does it well)
• Curious, thoughtful, and clear on your “why”
• A self-starter who can figure things out
• Empathetic, honest, and genuinely care about others
• Collaborative, but confident in working independently
• Hungry for change—and ready to help make it happen
  

We care deeply about the people we serve, and we care about our team just as much. We support each other, we show up with heart, and we have fun while we do it.

No egos, no jerks. Just good humans doing great work.

Vitable is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences—and we’re committed to building a team that reflects the people we serve.

If you’re excited about this role but your background doesn’t match every requirement, we still encourage you to apply. We care more about potential and passion than checking every box.
