We are hiring a Lead Doctor of Veterinary Medicine to help lead medical operations and build excellence across the clinic’s care team.

• Collaborate with the RVT team and Clinic Operations team to ensure medical excellence at all levels, consistently serving as a key resource and ‘advisor’
• Partner with the Practice Manager to implement, roll-out, and ensure compliance with gold standards of medical practice and patient care within the clinic
• Be a leader in implementation of the Juno Brand Tenets to ensure the team has maximum job love and supports one another to be better
• Lead by example and participate in initiatives that support the health and wellness of the clinic team by making choices that support the overall job love of the team helping to make the veterinary profession at Juno sustainable and inspirational
• Work cross-functionally and collaboratively with internal partners in an effort to support our clinic teams and execute on operational goals
• Aid in conflict resolution across the clinic leaders and work with People Operations as needed to build future clinic leadership within the doctor team
• A desire to mentor new hires and new grads

You have:
