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 Manager, 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.

  • Proactively step into service gaps to maintain a seamless experience

  • Resolve client concerns with empathy, confidence, and professionalism

  • 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

What You Bring

  • 2+ years of leadership experience in a high-end, service-driven environment (e.g. boutique hospitality, fitness, luxury retail, or medical/dental clinic)

  • A natural leader and connector who thrives in client-facing roles

  • Strong operational instincts and attention to detail

  • Excellent communication and conflict resolution skills

  • Comfort with data, metrics, and continuous improvement

 

Compensation & Benefits

Path to Business Partner

At Petfolk, we believe great leadership deserves great opportunity. That’s why we created the Path to Partner Program — a clear, supported development track for operational leaders ready to take the next step.

If selected, you’ll engage in a structured 3–6 month program with mentorship, guided training, and growing responsibility toward becoming a Petfolk Business Partner — the long-term operational leader of your center.

As a Business Partner, you’ll share in your center’s success through profit-sharing and equity ownership, and play a key role in shaping the future of Petfolk.

 

Why Petfolk

We’re on a mission to transform the veterinary experience — for pets, their people, and the care teams who serve them. That means delivering world-class medicine alongside hospitality-driven service in a culture where every team member is valued, supported, and heard.

Whether you’re a seasoned leader or ready to take the next step in your journey, Petfolk is a place to grow, lead with heart, and build something meaningful.

Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
