Approximately 60% of the role will remain hands-on and clinical , with approximately 40% dedicated to team leadership and practice operations . Responsibilities will be integrated throughout a five-day workweek rather than divided into strictly clinical and administrative days.

We are looking for someone who doesn't simply wait to be told what needs to be done.

The right person notices problems, asks good questions, develops solutions, follows through, and enjoys making a practice simpler, more efficient, more organized, and less dependent on its owner for day-to-day decisions .

You will serve as the day-to-day operational leader for our support team, including:

• Staff scheduling and coverage
• Onboarding and training
• Performance feedback and reviews
• Employee accountability and follow-through
• Routine employee concerns and conflict resolution
• Team meetings and communication
• Recruiting and interviewing
• Supporting a positive, accountable workplace culture

You should be comfortable having both supportive and difficult conversations and following through when expectations are not being met.

Responsibilities include:

• Hands-on senior veterinary technician responsibilities

We want someone who makes the practice easier to operate as it grows.

Some schedule flexibility is important as the practice evolves, including the possibility of future Saturday coverage.

Salary range: $70,000–$80,000 , based on veterinary experience, technical proficiency, leadership experience, and demonstrated ability to independently own practice operations.

Performance-based bonus opportunities may also be available based on achievement of defined practice and operational goals.

About PRISM

PRISM Integrative Veterinary Health provides thoughtful, highly personalized care with a focus on integrative oncology, chronic disease, preventative care, and whole-patient health.

We are building the next stage of PRISM around sustainable growth, simplification, strong accountability, and exceptional patient and client care.

We are looking for someone who wants to help build that future—not by making the practice more complicated, but by helping it run exceptionally well.

Who We're Looking For

Our ideal candidate has:

• Significant veterinary technician experience
• Strong technical and patient-care skills
• Previous leadership, supervisory, or operational experience
• Excellent judgment and communication skills
• Confidence addressing employee performance and accountability
• Strong organizational and problem-solving ability
• The ability to prioritize without requiring constant direction
• The ability to identify problems, investigate their cause, and develop solutions
• Comfort using data and practice metrics to identify opportunities
• A genuine interest in improving both people and systems
• A mindset focused on simplification, efficiency, and sustainable growth
• A desire to grow into greater operational ownership over time

CVT/LVT/RVT credentialing is welcomed but not required . Demonstrated technical proficiency, leadership ability, maturity, and judgment are more important to us than credentials alone.

Experience in specialty medicine, oncology, integrative medicine, or a high-touch client-care environment is a plus but not required.

What Success Looks Like

Over time, the person in this role becomes the first point of contact for routine operational and team matters.

You’ll understand what's happening across the practice, identify problems before they become larger issues, develop solutions, support and hold the team accountable, and help create an environment where doctors can focus on medicine and the owner can focus on medical leadership and business strategy.

Success in this role means helping PRISM grow revenue and capacity while becoming simpler, more organized, and less dependent on owner involvement.

We are looking for someone who wants to be able to say:

“I understand what we're trying to accomplish, I know what needs my attention, and I can take ownership of getting it done.”
