Bilingual Harmonized Catalogue Advisor (12-Month Contract)

You were made to save animals, we take care of the rest. Founded in 2006, VetStrategy is Canada’s largest operator of veterinary hospitals and clinics. The company operates over 340 hospitals and clinics across Canada and employs over 5,500, dedicated veterinary professionals.

This allows the medical team to focus on practicing first-rate medicine, and allows the clinic’s staff, clients, and patients to benefit from experienced business operators and managers.

Position Overview

Do you have veterinary-based experience and are ready for a refreshing change?

This role goes beyond simply managing a transition to a common catalogue. You will have the exciting opportunity to refine and enhance our standard catalogue while considering the specific needs of clinic staff. Drawing upon your practice experience, you’ll be able to make a significant impact by streamlining our operations, reducing the manual data entry workload for clinic staff, and empowering our clinics to concentrate on their core core mission of improving the lives of pets.
