Job Description

Bond Vet is on a mission to strengthen the human-animal bond through better pet care. We offer primary and urgent care, so we’re there for pets when they need us most. Our clinics are designed with pets and people in mind: warm, friendly, and highly sniffable. We balance this design with a strong focus on technology, all built in-house, which means we can easily innovate our systems to improve the veterinary team, pet, and client experience.

About the Role

At Bond Vet, we are passionate about pushing the boundaries of pet healthcare and redefining industry standards. We believe in innovation, creativity, and delivering exceptional value to our team, clients and their beloved pets. Our commitment to excellence has led us to create a unique opportunity for a team leader of medical programs and projects who can drive our efforts in developing groundbreaking solutions in pet healthcare.

As a leader, you will play a pivotal role in aligning medical strategy with our company's strategic goals. Your responsibilities will span across operational and medical-focused programs, with an emphasis on supporting our operations team on strategic initiatives that are identified by the CVO and our Ops leadership team. As a senior leader, you will also be spending about 25% of your time spent as a DVM in an assigned shift on the floor. This is in the spirit of connecting with our teams on the ground to find areas of opportunity and test the programs and projects success that are implemented.

Work Location & Flexibility
