At VetEvolve, we are creating positive change in the veterinary profession to enhance the lives of pets and people. We’re a PE-backed veterinary platform with 50+ hospitals and growing quickly. Our culture is grounded in our core values: Serve, Evolve, and Trust. As we scale, we’re building the People function from the ground up, and we’re looking for mission-aligned team members ready to do meaningful work in a dynamic environment.

 

About the Role

The Compliance Manager will be responsible for designing, implementing, and overseeing our compliance program as a corporate and practice support function. This role ensures that our organization meets regulatory requirements, maintains ethical business practices, and fosters a culture of accountability.

Compliance within our business includes ensuring we are maintaining all applicable licensing, permitting and registrations for all practices and their staff, as well as compliance to regulatory or internal protocols.

3. Training and Education

  • Create and deliver engaging compliance training programs for veterinarians, technicians, and support staff with support from the learning and development function of the business.
  • Ensure new hires receive compliance onboarding.
  • Provide ongoing education on updates to laws, regulations, and company policies.

4. Monitoring, Auditing, and Risk Assessment

  • Conduct regular audits of high-risk areas (e.g., drug management, patient record documentation, billing practices).
  • Develop risk assessment processes to identify, prioritize, and mitigate compliance vulnerabilities.
  • Use data to proactively track trends and prevent issues.

5. Reporting and Communication Channels

  • Establish and manage confidential reporting mechanisms for employees to raise compliance concerns without fear of retaliation.
  • Promote a “speak-up” culture across all practices.
  • Investigate complaints in a timely and fair manner.

6. Enforcement and Discipline

  • Collaborate with HR and leadership to ensure consistent enforcement of compliance standards.
  • Recommend corrective actions for violations.
  • Reinforce accountability through clear consequences.

7. Response and Continuous Improvement

  • Lead investigations of compliance issues and document findings.
  • Develop and oversee corrective action plans.
  • Continuously assess and improve the compliance program to reflect evolving regulations and organizational needs.

 

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Healthcare Administration, Compliance, or related field required; advanced degree or compliance certification (e.g., CHC, CCEP) preferred.
  • 3+ years of compliance experience, ideally in veterinary services, healthcare, or multi-site operations.
  • Strong understanding of regulatory frameworks (DEA, OSHA, state veterinary boards, labor laws).
  • Excellent communication, training, and interpersonal skills.
  • Ability to manage sensitive information and act with integrity.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

 

What We Offer

  • A mission-driven, values-led culture grounded in Serve, Evolve, and Trust

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. 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.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

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.
