Managing Veterinarian - High-Autonomy Leadership Opportunity

Eastview Veterinary Clinic | Clarksville, TN (45 min from Nashville)

Ready to lead a fast-paced, high-volume practice - without sacrificing your nights, weekends, and holidays?

Eastview Veterinary Clinic is a well-established (since 1973), high-volume, walk-in based practice near Nashville, TN, seeking a confident, experienced Managing Veterinarian ready to step into leadership while continuing to practice hands-on medicine in our walk-in / urgent care / GP hybrid model.

Overview

The Managing Veterinarian partners with the Hospital Manager to drive the financial performance and general operations of the hospital, and to cultivate a supportive, collaborative team environment. You'll be supported and mentored by the Divisional Leadership Team through practice management training, reporting, and ongoing resources to lead a best-in-class clinic.

What Changes When You Step Into This Role

• No nights. No overnight emergencies. No on-call rotation.
• Closed weekends - no Saturday or Sunday shifts
• No extended/late hours - predictable, consistent daily schedule
• Still fast-paced and case-diverse - walk-in urgent care flow, real-time decision-making, and a full range of cases from wellness to surgery to same-day urgent visits
• Leadership with support, not isolation - you set the medical direction, backed by a Hospital Manager and Divisional Leadership Team who handle the logistics
• You shape the team's day - instead of an overbooked schedule stacked against you, you help design how the practice runs

A Team Built to Support Your Leadership

• Hospital Manager who partners with you on day-to-day operations
• Associate DVMs who you'll mentor and collaborate with in a low-ego, case-discussion culture
• Dedicated Veterinary Assistant assigned to each DVM
• LVT who independently leads dental procedures
• 3-4 CSRs supporting steady client flow and communication
• Inventory Manager ensuring supplies are always on hand
• Hospital Attendant keeping daily operations efficient

Facility & Equipment

• Sound Versana Active Ultrasound
• Voyant LigaSure
• IDEXX In-House & Reference Lab
• IDEXX WebPACS
• Modern dental suite with Midmark Dental X-ray

• A desire to progress veterinary medicine based on industry-accepted research, medical protocol and equipment advancement, and evolving methodologies and treatments.
• A passion for continuous learning.
• Partners with the Hospital Manager on the medical and financial management of the practice, ensuring best-in-class patient and client experiences while maximizing efficiency, productivity, and profitability.
• Demonstrates excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Delegates tasks and achieves results with hospital team members.
• Makes decisions confidently and effectively.
• Leads employees by coaching, correcting, developing, and motivating them to achieve success.
• Manages time and tasks appropriately.
• Models a professional and courteous manner with staff and clients.

• Medical, Dental, Vision, and Disability insurance
• Paid Personal Liability Insurance (PLIT) / malpractice coverage
• 401(k) with match
• CE allowance + dedicated CE days
