Veterinary Practice Manager – Urgent Care Focus (No Overnights)
Full-Time | Austin, TX

We’re seeking a skilled, proactive, and confident Veterinary Practice Manager to lead the daily operations of a fast-paced urgent care animal clinic. This is a unique opportunity for someone with a strong background in veterinary management who thrives in a dynamic clinical setting and has a passion for leading teams, optimizing systems, and delivering top-tier client and patient experiences.

What You’ll Be Doing:
As the Practice Manager, you’ll be the operational backbone of the clinic — ensuring everything from team coordination to charge capture runs with precision. This role requires someone who can think fast, manage complexity, and foster a calm, solutions-focused environment, especially during high-stress or emotionally charged situations.

Key Responsibilities:

Own daily operations and workflow management across front desk, technician, and DVM teams
Build and maintain weekly staff schedules while managing real-time adjustments and ensuring appropriate coverage
Monitor and enforce timely and accurate charge capture, ensuring that all services and medications are billed before discharge
Proactively step in to de-escalate client concerns and ensure client satisfaction while supporting team morale
Oversee inventory controls, equipment needs, and vendor relationships
Support onboarding, training, and continued development of staff across all departments
Partner with the medical team to maintain an efficient, client-friendly, and patient-focused environment
Maintain and enforce compliance with medical recordkeeping standards, safety protocols, and clinic policies
Collaborate on goals, KPIs, and improvement initiatives to strengthen clinic performance and staff culture

What We’re Looking For:

Prior management experience in a veterinary clinic, preferably in urgent care, ER, or specialty medicine
Confident leadership presence with the ability to lead during busy, high-pressure situations
Strong knowledge of veterinary operations including medical terminology, workflows, charge auditing, and staff management
Experience with client conflict resolution and a calm, empathetic approach to client service
Strong organizational, multitasking, and follow-through skills
Familiarity with veterinary practice management software (Avinmark, ezyVet, or similar)
Passion for building great teams and fostering a supportive, high-functioning workplace

What Makes This Opportunity Different:

No overnight shifts – we provide urgent care during extended daytime hours only
Purpose-driven environment – every day is about helping pets and relieving stress for their owners
A collaborative, family-feel team where your voice and leadership truly matter

If you're ready to take the lead in a veterinary setting where your management skills will be valued and your days will never be boring, we’d love to hear from you.
