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. VetStrategy has undergone a tremendous amount of growth and continues to grow at a rapid pace. Our business model is simple; we work with our veterinary partners to acquire ownership in veterinary hospitals, and then help in the management of these practices. 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.

• Contact practices and guide them through what they need to make the most of the systems they are working with. 
• Spend time working with some of our practices retrospectively to ensure they are aware of any system changes and be involved in a post roll out process to continue with the support needed. 
• Must be proficient in training development and design, to deliver sessions to our colleagues around the organisation.
