Job Description
Lead Veterinarian
San Diego, CA | Privately Owned Small Animal Hospital
We're partnering with a well-established, privately owned small animal hospital seeking a Lead Veterinarian who wants to help shape the future of an already respected practice.
This is an opportunity for a veterinarian who enjoys leading by example, mentoring others, and influencing the direction of a hospital—while still spending the majority of their time practicing medicine.
You'll have the autonomy to make meaningful clinical decisions, work alongside an experienced support team, and help foster a culture centered around collaboration, high-quality medicine, and exceptional client care.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out- Established, privately owned small animal hospital
- Leadership opportunity with real clinical influence
- Collaborative multi-doctor environment
- Strong technician utilization and experienced support staff
- Modern diagnostic equipment and digital imaging
- Flexible scheduling with an emphasis on work-life balance
- Loyal client base that values quality medicine
- Opportunity to mentor doctors and help shape hospital culture
- Clinical autonomy with support from engaged ownership
We're looking for a veterinarian who enjoys helping others succeed just as much as practicing great medicine.
Whether you've already served in a leadership role or you're an experienced clinician ready to take that next step, we're looking for someone who values collaboration, communicates well, and wants to build something long-term.
Compensation & Benefits- Competitive base salary
- Leadership compensation
- Production opportunities (where applicable)
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits
- Continuing education allowance
- Paid licensing, dues, and professional memberships
- Generous PTO
- Additional leadership support and professional development
If you're even selectively open to learning more, we'd be happy to have a confidential conversation, answer your questions, and determine whether there's a mutual fit before introducing the hospital.
This position is being represented confidentially by Aeries Recruiting on behalf of a privately owned veterinary practice. Additional details will be shared with qualified candidates during the interview process.
We are an Equal Opportunity Employer and consider all qualified applicants without regard to any protected status under applicable law.
