IT Project Manager

ABOUT VEG

In 2014, VEG was born with a mission to help people and their pets when they need it most by challenging norms and fixing the ER experience. Since then, we’ve expanded rapidly, with hospitals nationwide open 24/7/365, and created an ER experience that focuses on what our pets and pet parents really need. We’ve done the same for our people (VEGgies), finding a way to say YES so they are empowered to achieve great things, grow in unexpected ways, and find a place where they truly belong.

We’re rethinking emergency care from every angle—from how we run our hospitals to how we support the people working inside them. That’s where our headquarters team comes in. Whether building technology to make our hospitals more efficient, recruiting and growing incredible VEGgies, or bringing our brand to life through marketing, our VQ (VEG Headquarters) team makes it all possible—ensuring our hospitals and people have everything they need to help pets and their families.

VEG is a 2025 and 2026 certified Great Place to Work®.

THE JOB

At VEG, we find a way to say YES so our teams have the structure, visibility, and follow-through they need to move work forward. As an IT Project Manager, you’ll provide disciplined operational ownership of IT intake and roadmap processes, making sure requests are complete, commitments are tracked, and stakeholders know where things stand. This role helps protect IT’s execution reliability as demand for cross-functional technology partnership grows. You’ll gain direct exposure to technology initiatives across VEG while bringing order, momentum, and clear communication to work that supports our hospitals, VQ teams, VEGgies, pets, and pet parents.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Partner directly with VEGgies across the organization to own IT initiatives end-to-end.
• Maintain roadmap boards, milestones, dependencies, action items, and commitments so progress and risks are visible week over week.
• Build dashboards and reporting that show how intake and projects are performing, and dig into the data to find why issues happen.
• Surface delays and off-track work early using the team’s risk and decision-making approach, bringing clear options and recommended next steps.
• Run weekly project meetings with IT teams, holding owners to commitments and surfacing risks early.
• Send structured updates, follow-ups, and meeting coordination to keep project owners, PMs, requestors, frontline VEGgies, and cross-functional partners aligned.
• Support IT Programs with deliverable tracking, reporting, status summaries, and slide preparation for internal initiatives.

WHAT YOU NEED

• Strong operational discipline and follow-through. You close loops, keep systems current, and push work forward consistently.
• Strong analytical skills and comfort building dashboards and working directly in data.
• Ability to notice missing information, risks, and delays early, then escalate clearly with recommended next steps.
• Comfort working in ambiguity and following evolving processes, documentation, and templates.
• Professional communication and judgment across stakeholder levels, with the ability to turn scattered context into clear, audience-appropriate updates.
• Reliability and ownership mindset. People trust you to track commitments and follow through without work getting lost.
• Familiarity with project tracking or intake systems, preferably Monday.com or ServiceNow.
• 3+ years of experience in a project management or similar operational role. Experience in a Technology org is a plus.

Our mission is “Helping people and their pets when they need it most.” And we do that better when our VEGgies (employees) feel valued, respected, and empowered to bring their authentic selves to work. That's why we're devoted to creating an environment that reflects the diverse communities we serve—where different perspectives are not only welcomed but celebrated.

We are focused on providing equitable opportunities for growth, promoting inclusive decision-making, and ensuring that everyone's perspective is considered.
