Veterinary Practice Manager

DEE Consulting • Full-time • Beverly Hills, California, United States • USD $125k - USD $150k / year • 3m ago

Overview:

We are seeking an experienced and driven VPM to lead the operations of our veterinary specialty and emergency hospital. With a strategic plan to double in size within the next few years, this is a critical leadership role for someone ready to scale operations, develop high-performing teams, and drive operational excellence in a complex, fast-paced clinical environment.

This is not an entry-level leadership role. The ideal candidate has risen through the ranks of veterinary hospital operations and has proven experience managing one large high-volume hospital or overseeing multiple hospitals within a region. You will report to a supportive but hands-off leadership team at headquarters, and you will be trusted to run the hospital independently while partnering closely with medical leadership and departmental teams.

Key Responsibilities:

Oversee daily operations across all departments including ER, specialty services, client services, and administrative functions
Lead, mentor, and develop department managers, supervisors, and support staff, ensuring accountability and team cohesion
Partner with medical leadership to support a high-performing, collaborative clinical environment
Own the hospital P&L, driving revenue growth, cost management, and margin improvement
Design and implement workflows and process improvements to support scalability as the hospital doubles in size
Manage and optimize staffing models, scheduling, recruitment, and retention in alignment with hospital growth
Lead expansion initiatives in partnership with facilities, finance, and HQ leadership
Champion culture, employee engagement, and a client-first mindset across all levels of the hospital
Monitor KPIs (efficiency, throughput, client satisfaction, DVM utilization, etc.) and implement action plans for continuous improvement
Serve as the primary point of contact for HQ operations, finance, and HR—but operate with autonomy day-to-day

Requirements:

8+ years of progressive leadership experience in veterinary hospital operations; experience managing large single-site operations ($10M+ revenue) or multiple smaller hospitals required
Proven ability to lead large teams (50+ staff) in a high-volume, fast-paced clinical setting
Deep understanding of veterinary business operations including scheduling, budgeting, client relations, inventory, compliance, and medical team partnership
Strong financial acumen and comfort managing complex budgets and growth forecasts
Exceptional people management and team-building skills
Self-directed, strategic, and solutions-oriented leadership style
Experience leading hospitals through expansion, construction, or multi-phase growth initiatives is strongly preferred

What We Offer:

Competitive salary + performance bonus
Comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, vision, 401(k), and PTO
Relocation assistance if applicable
Opportunity to lead one of the most exciting veterinary hospital growth stories in the region
