Veterinary Business Partner
About the role
At Petfolk, we believe exceptional veterinary care starts with exceptional people — not just clinicians, but hospitality-minded leaders who create a warm, polished, and high-performing environment for both clients and teams. As a Veterinary Business Partner, you’ll be the face of your Petfolk Care Center: a visible, hands-on leader who brings the finesse of a boutique hotel GM and the precision of an operations expert. You'll drive the daily rhythm of your center, foster team energy, and ensure every client leaves feeling confident, cared for, and connected. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in dynamic, people-first environments and is excited to grow into a long-term leadership opportunity within Petfolk.
Responsibilities
- Client Experience & Hospitality: Lead from the floor, greeting clients and setting a tone of warmth and professionalism. Proactively step into service gaps to maintain a seamless experience. Resolve client concerns with empathy, confidence, and professionalism.
- Team Leadership & Culture: Infuse a service-first mindset across your team — think “Ritz-Carlton for pet care.” Coach team members on communication, body language, and client interactions. Drive team engagement through daily huddles, recognition, and feedback.
- Hospital Operations: Manage daily staffing and schedule alignment based on client demand. Monitor clinic flow and make real-time adjustments to eliminate bottlenecks. Ensure hospital opens and closes in a clean, prepared, and professional state. Partner with the Lead or Partner Veterinarian to align clinical and operational rhythms.
- Business Performance & Growth: Own key metrics: appointment capacity, revenue, rebooking, client retention. Oversee labor budgets, payroll, and inventory management. Collaborate with Regional Leadership on business planning and strategic growth.
