Responsibilities

• Own and scale VEG's nursing campus ecosystem—CLOVERs, Campus Partners, Campus Ambassadors, and events—building programs that are effective today and built to grow.

• Enable and train frontline nursing teams and hospital leaders to confidently represent VEG on campus and to deliver a consistent, high-quality extern experience, modeling best practices and providing clear tools, training, and support.
• Partner cross-functionally with Talent Acquisition, Nursing Operations, Operations, Field Leadership, Talent Learning & Development, Marketing, and hospital teams to align the externship strategy with broader hiring and business goals.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience working within the veterinary space preferred, including experience building or scaling a program from the ground up.
