Step Into a Leadership Role at Tribeca Soho Animal Hospital

At Tribeca Soho Animal Hospital, you’ll find a collaborative and supportive culture that prioritizes mentorship, continuing education, and team gratitude. Our hospital is part of a larger network with sister locations, offering unique opportunities for learning and career growth.

• Be the glue between departments, ensuring seamless communication across medical and client service teams.
• Play an active role in leadership training and building team camaraderie.
  
  

You’ll be encouraged to bring your ideas, build team spirit, and help shape the culture in meaningful ways, strengthening an already cohesive and grateful team.

What We’re Looking For

• Active LVT license in NY State
• 4+ years of clinical experience (open to less experience for the right passionate leader)
• Strong proficiency in surgery and dentistry
• Natural mentor with a drive to lead and inspire
• Excellent communication, problem-solving, and time management skills
• Passion for continued learning, growth, and high-quality medicine
  
  

What We Offer

• $33–$35/hour based on experience

• Full benefits for full-time team members, including:
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
