Lead with purpose. Support a team. Make a difference every single day.

Are you a people-first leader who thrives on helping teams reach their full potential? Plessis Veterinary Hospital is looking for a Hospital Manager who’s passionate about team culture, operational excellence, and delivering standout employee, client and patient care.

In this role, you’ll partner closely with the Managing DVM to lead day-to-day operations and shape a thriving, high-performing clinic environment. You’ll help us drive results, develop your team, and ensure delivery of an empathetic, seamless and energetic client experience.

At the core of this role are two of our six key competencies:

Engage You bring people together. Whether it’s building strong relationships, listening well, or making sure everyone feels heard, you help create a team that works well and supports one another in achieving their goals.

Drive You get things done. You’re focused, you follow through, and you hold yourself and others accountable, all while keeping things moving forward, even when it’s tough.

What You’ll Do:

• Lead with a balance of heart and strategy, developing a high-performing team, providing coaching and mentorship, and fostering a positive culture.
• Own hospital operations including (but not limited to) payroll, inventory, policy compliance, PIMS administration and reporting, landlord liaison, facility management, health and safety, and vendor relationships.
• Own financial accountability for hospital operations, including income statement analysis, forecasting, budget planning, and using key metrics to measure and drive financial performance.
• Collaborate with the Managing DVM to support staffing needs, from hiring and onboarding, to performance management and team building.
• Ensure an exceptional client experience, resolving issues with compassion, professionalism and focused on solutions.
• Use your problem-solving and planning skills to manage costs, optimize revenue, and support long-term success.
• Manage projects & initiatives in collaboration with Manager of Regional Operations and Support Centre.
• Lead through ambiguity with confidence, courage, and clarity, knowing when to adapt, when to push forward, and how to keep the team aligned through change.

You’ll Thrive in This Role If You:

• Are energized by helping others succeed and believe in clear expectations and supportive feedback.
• Enjoy rolling up your sleeves to streamline operations and problem-solve on the fly.
• Have a knack for balancing day-to-day logistics with big-picture thinking.
• Know how to create an inclusive, team-first atmosphere where people feel heard and valued.

Bonus Points:

• 3+ years of experience leading and managing in a multi-departmental setting.
• Familiarity with tools like Dayforce, Microsoft Suite, and client management software.
• You love animals—and the people who love them.

Compensation:

• Competitive base salary plus bonus eligibility
• Health/dental benefits and RRSP matching
