About the role
CareVet is a network of veterinary hospitals that focuses on acquiring and managing best-in-class hospitals throughout the United States. We look for veterinary practices that are staples of their community. Whether it is one hospital or a dozen, we focus on the standard of care delivered, the level of engagement from the team and the record of stability. We are building a network of the top hospitals, doctors, and staff. CareVet’s mission is to provide the very best care for pets. Our holistic approach to veterinary medicine focuses on practice legacy, team, veterinarians, patients, and community.
District Managers across our network are trusted members of the Operations team and play an important role in supporting up to 15 hospital locations. They are an essential part of the integration process for newly acquired hospitals and build key relationships with new teams across our network, and they assist the Regional Directors in developing and empowering Hospital Managers to create fulfilled, engaged, profitable, and successful teams.
Our Ideal Candidate is an experienced Veterinary Hospital Manager who is ready for the next step in their career.

They will be comfortable with taking a collaborative approach to driving results.
