Head of Business Finance & Strategy

Manager, Strategic Finance

CareVet is a network of veterinary hospitals that focuses on acquiring and managing best-in-class hospitals throughout the United States. We look for veterinary practices that are staples of their community. Whether it's one hospital or a dozen, we focus on the standard of care delivered, the level of engagement from the team and the record of stability. We are building a network of the top hospitals, doctors, and staff. CareVet's mission is to provide the very best care for pets. Our approach to veterinary medicine focuses on practice legacy, team, veterinarians, patients, and community.

The Position CareVet is seeking a Manager, Strategic Finance to serve as a CORE Business Partner (CORE BP) on the CORE team, a new team within Financial Operations. This role will be the dedicated finance and operations partner for a portfolio of hospitals and their DM/SMOs, with responsibility for building each hospital's monthly work plan, bringing the numbers and insights behind it, and coordinating how HQ initiatives reach the field. This role reports to the Director, Head of CORE Team. This is a hands-on, high-impact role for someone who enjoys digging into a hospital's P&L, turning analysis into clear priorities, and building trusted relationships with field leaders and HQ teams alike.

Align priorities with the Field Team by partnering with VPOs and DM/SMOs on what goes on each plan, how it ranks, and who owns it, so everyone is aligned before the hospital hears anything.

Own financial performance for the regions you oversee with your VPO and DM/SMO partners, driving revenue, visits, COGS, labor, and EBITDA results and providing ad-hoc analysis when decisions call for it.

Sequence HQ initiatives across the network, fitting each initiative into the right theme week and the right work plans instead of adding to the noise.

Represent CORE in the monthly CORE SteerCo and leadership reviews, sharing progress, risks, and decisions needed, and serving with the VPOs as an escalation point when CORE BPs, DM/SMOs, and HMs disagree.

Help improve the CORE model, sharing what is working in your hospitals, helping refine templates and reports, and bringing insights to the Head of CORE Team and the CORE SteerCo.
