Job description

Mission Pet Health is seeking a Regional Medical Director (RMD) to support our hospitals in the Pacific Northwest area. This territory will support our teams in Oregon, Washington and two locations in Alaska. This role is designed for a veterinarian who enjoys mentoring doctors, strengthening hospital teams, and helping practices grow while maintaining high medical quality. As Regional Medical Director, you will serve as a clinical partner to our veterinarians and hospitals, supporting teams at the local level while working alongside a Regional Operations Director to align medical leadership with hospital success. 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.

What Success Looks Like in the First Year

• First 90 Days: Build relationships with veterinarians and hospital teams while learning the strengths and opportunities of each hospital in the region.
• 3-6 Months: Establish regular doctor collaboration and mentorship, support hospital teams with clinical resources, and assist with recruiting and onboarding veterinarians.
• 6-12 Months: Strengthen collaboration across hospitals, support service expansion where appropriate, and help develop emerging medical leaders within the region.

Why This Role is Different

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

This is an opportunity to help 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.
• Exceptional interpersonal, oral, and written communication skills with the ability to present key data concisely.
• Strong organizational skills and a keen attention to detail.
