The role blends mentorship, collaboration, and strategic leadership—ensuring doctors feel supported, hospitals are well-resourced, and patients receive excellent care.

What You'll Do

• Support and Develop Veterinarians: Partner with DVMs across the region to support their professional growth through mentorship, coaching, and development planning. Conduct doctor reviews and help strengthen medical, surgical, and communication skills.
• Strengthen Hospital Collaboration: Connect regularly with hospital teams to share best practices, support workflow improvements, and ensure doctors have the clinical resources they need to serve their communities.
• Recruit and Develop Veterinary Talent: Help attract and onboard great veterinarians to the region. Support mentorship and integration of new doctors to ensure long-term success and engagement.
• Partner for Hospital Success: Work closely with your Regional Operations Director to support hospital leaders in areas such as scheduling needs, equipment investments, and aligning medical initiatives with hospital growth.
• Support Growth in the Houston Market: Help hospitals expand services, strengthen medical capabilities, and support thoughtful regional growth while maintaining high-quality medicine.
• Build the Future Veterinary Workforce: Support externship and internship programs and represent Mission Pet Health within the veterinary community to help build our future talent pipeline.

6–12 Months: Strengthen collaboration across hospitals, support service expansion where appropriate, and help develop emerging medical leaders within the region.

• Mentorship over management
• Local hospital partnership
• Collaboration across veterinary teams
• Balancing medical quality with sustainable hospital growth

This is an opportunity tohelp shape the veterinary culture of a region—supporting great hospitals and helping veterinarians build long-term, fulfilling careers.

Please note, while you will work from your home office, you must be able to travel to our on site hospital locations 3-4 days/week. For this reason, we prefer that you live in the Seattle or Portland areas, as that is where many of our hospitals are located.

What You'll Bring to the Team

• Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree from an accredited university.
• Current state licensure in good standing to practice.
• Experience managing multi-site veterinary hospitals is required.
• Hospital ownership or previous Lead Veterinarian experience is strongly preferred.
