Job description

Shape the Future of Veterinary Care.

• Base Salary: $200,000 - $250,000+ Based on Experience
• Annual Bonus + Equity Opportunity
• Total Compensation Potential Exceeding $250,000+

Sometimes the next step isn't another hospital - Sometimes it's the opportunity to help shape an entire region.

We are seeking a visionary veterinarian and leader to serve as Group President for our Massachusetts and Rhode Island region, providing leadership and strategic direction across:

• Mass-RI Veterinary ER | Swansea, MA
• Coastal Veterinary Care | Swansea, MA
• Wickford Veterinary Clinic | North Kingstown, RI

This is a unique opportunity for a veterinarian who wants to operate at a higher level while remaining connected to clinical medicine. You'll play a pivotal role in shaping hospital performance, developing teams, mentoring doctors, driving growth, and helping build exceptional hospitals that serve their communities for years to come.

Whether you're an experienced regional leader or a high-performing Medical Director ready for the next step, this role offers the opportunity to make an impact far beyond a single hospital.

Why This Opportunity Is Different

This is not a traditional Medical Director role.

As Group President, you'll have the ability to influence the future of three distinct hospitals while partnering with operations and executive leadership to drive:

• Regional growth and strategic initiatives
• Doctor recruiting, mentorship, and retention
• Culture and team engagement
• Medical quality and patient care standards
• Hospital performance and operational excellence
• Leadership development across the region
• Long-term expansion opportunities

You’ll be empowered to make meaningful decisions, develop future leaders, and help create hospitals where team members are proud to work and clients trust the care being provided.
