    Description

    Western Veterinary Partners is seeking a Director of Operations (DO) based in Oregon to help support hospitals within this territory and potentially other adjacent states. This is a great role for someone who has successfully managed multiple locations (ideally 15+) in a healthcare or multi-site setting or has a strong general business background and is looking for career advancement in a fast-growing, dynamic company. Our ideal candidate is a strong general manager with a goal-oriented attitude, a passion for training and team development, and the business, financial, and strategic acumen to help scale a rapidly-growing business and team.

    In partnership with the Vice President of Operations and regional manager(s), the chosen candidate will focus on supporting a group of practices in achieving operational excellence, building culture, and recruiting and retaining veterinarians, technicians, and support staff. The DO will spend extensive time in the field with hospital leadership and staff and be responsible for supporting the overall operations of a group of approximately 25-30 general practice veterinary hospitals in the region.

    About us:

    Western Veterinary Partners (WVP) is a mission-driven company based in Denver, CO. We are driven by our values of collaboration, alignment, culture, support, and relationships.

Post-acquisition, WVP supports its partner practices with the non-clinical side of the business. Our local and collaborative support provides veterinarians with attractive operational benefits of a larger group while maintaining the clinical autonomy and local practice identity.
