Veterinary Urgent Care Practice Manager - Cleveland (West), OH

Veterinary Practice Manager

AcutePet Urgent Care is seeking a Veterinary Practice Manager to help launch and lead our Avon, Ohio hospital opening this fall.

This is an opportunity for a leader who enjoys building strong teams, creating operational excellence, and making a meaningful impact on both patient care and employee experience.

As Practice Manager, you'll partner closely with your Managing Veterinarian to create a hospital culture where people feel supported, clients feel cared for, and teams can do their best work. You'll have the autonomy to lead locally while being supported by an experienced veterinary leadership team committed to your success.

Whether you come from veterinary medicine, healthcare, or another service-focused industry, we're looking for a leader who thrives on developing people, solving problems, and driving results.

Why Leaders Choose AcutePet

This is a unique opportunity to play a key role in launching and growing a new hospital while helping shape its culture, operations, and reputation within the community.

You'll work alongside an experienced Managing Veterinarian and collaborate with a network of Practice Managers, Managing Veterinarians, and home office leaders. You'll never be expected to figure it all out alone.

Your leadership directly influences employee engagement, client experience, operational performance, and the quality of care delivered to pets and their families.

Our urgent care model provides emergency-level medicine without overnight hours, creating a healthier and more sustainable environment for veterinary teams.

• Monitor key business metrics, budgeting, payroll, and inventory

At the end of the day, you'll see the direct impact of your leadership on both your team and the families who trust us with their pets' care.
