Go-Live Support Advisor (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. 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.

Position Overview

Do you have veterinary-based experience and are ready for a refreshing change? As a Go Live Support Advisor, your clinic expertise will play a pivotal role in guiding practices through the transition from their old catalogues to our standard VetStrategy catalogue and overall group approach as part of our system-wide migration to a modern, cloud-based platform.

This role goes beyond simply managing first few days of Go Live once a clinic converts to the new cloud-based platform. You will have the exciting opportunity to work alongside our Harmonized Catalogue Advisors to support them during the conversion process while building on your foundational knowledge to support the best Go Lives possible for clinic teams.  Drawing upon your practice experience, you’ll be able to work alongside a team 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 mission of improving the lives of pets.
