Senior Director of Operations

Western Veterinary Partners (WVP) is seeking a highly experienced Senior Director of Operations to support a national portfolio of approximately 40+ joint venture veterinary (JV) hospitals. JV hospitals are partnerships between the local veterinarians and WVP, where ownership, decision-making, and financial outcomes are shared. JV hospitals are typically larger locations, with 5-10+ veterinarians and established management teams.

This high-impact, field-based leadership role requires an accomplished multi-site operator who can quickly assess performance, build credibility with veterinary partners, and drive measurable operational and financial results across a highly visible national portfolio. The ideal candidate is a decisive, collaborative general manager who can analyze P&Ls, advise veterinarian-owners, coach hospital leaders, and lead rapid performance-improvement initiatives through strong judgment, executive presence, and influence. The position requires approximately 80% travel nationwide.
