Veterinary Medical Director J884347

$150k - $175k
Full-time
Medical Director / Future Practice Owner Nashville, TN
$150,000$175,000 Base Salary | 20% Production Bonus | $25,000 Sign-On Bonus | Equity Opportunity | Full Clinical Autonomy

A growing veterinary hospital in the highly desirable Nashville, Tennessee area is seeking an ambitious Medical Director / Veterinarian who wants to take the next step beyond a traditional Associate Veterinarian position.

This is a unique opportunity to lead a hospital, build your own team, shape the practice around your vision, and work toward genuine equity and future practice ownership without the significant upfront investment and financial risk typically associated with purchasing an established veterinary practice.

If you're an experienced veterinarian with leadership ambitions and an entrepreneurial mindset, this role offers the opportunity to build something of your own while receiving strong operational support.

What You'll Receive
  • $150,000$175,000 base salary, dependent on experience
  • 20% production bonus with no negative accrual
  • $25,000 sign-on bonus
  • Genuine equity and future ownership opportunity
  • Significant long-term earning potential as the hospital grows
  • Comprehensive benefits package
  • 3 weeks PTO
  • Health insurance
  • 401(k)
  • Continuing Education allowance
  • Additional benefits open to negotiation
  • Lead the Hospital Your Way
This is more than a traditional clinical leadership role. You'll have genuine influence over the direction and development of the hospital.

You'll have the opportunity to:

  • Build, lead, and mentor your veterinary team
  • Influence hiring decisions and develop hospital culture
  • Help select equipment and technology investments
  • Expand clinical services and treatment options
  • Establish clinical protocols and standards of care
  • Develop the long-term vision for the hospital
  • Drive growth and improve the client and patient experience
  • Build toward long-term equity and practice ownership
You'll receive operational support while maintaining the clinical autonomy and independence to practise medicine according to your professional standards and vision.

Leadership & Ownership Opportunity

For the right veterinarian, this role provides a genuine pathway toward practice ownership and long-term wealth creation.

Rather than taking on the substantial financial commitment of purchasing a veterinary hospital outright, you'll have the opportunity to grow alongside the practice, contribute to its success, and build equity over time.

This makes the position particularly attractive to veterinarians who have considered ownership but don't want to take on the traditional financial and operational risks associated with buying a practice independently.

What We're Looking For

We're seeking a veterinarian who is:

  • A DVM or equivalent eligible for Tennessee veterinary licensure
  • Ideally has 2+ years of clinical experience
  • Passionate about providing high-quality patient care
  • Interested in leadership and developing a strong veterinary team
  • Motivated by professional and financial growth
  • Entrepreneurial, ambitious, and driven
  • Excited by the opportunity to influence and ultimately own a growing practice
Previous Medical Director or leadership experience is welcome but not essential for the right candidate. The key is a genuine desire to lead, develop, and build something long term.

Why Nashville?

Nashville offers an outstanding combination of career opportunity and quality of life.

The city is renowned for its vibrant music and food scene, beautiful surrounding communities, excellent schools, and convenient national travel connections. Tennessee also has no individual state income tax, making it an attractive location for professionals seeking strong long-term earning potential.

Why This Opportunity?

If you've been looking for:

  • More autonomy than a traditional Associate Veterinarian role
  • The opportunity to lead and build your own team
  • A genuine pathway toward equity and practice ownership
  • Strong earning potential
  • A $25,000 sign-on bonus
  • The freedom to influence clinical and business decisions
  • The opportunity to build long-term wealth through veterinary practice ownership
...this could be an exceptional next step in your veterinary career.

Confidential enquiries are welcomed. Apply today to learn more about this Medical Director opportunity and the pathway toward becoming a future Practice Owner in Nashville, TN.
