This position offers a unique opportunity to gain broad exposure across our hospital network while making a meaningful impact at the local level. Based on performance and organizational needs, there is potential for this role to transition into a full-time, permanent Practice Manager position within Thrive Pet Healthcare.

About the Role

As a Floating Practice Manager, you will step in to lead hospital operations, support team development, and uphold our commitment to high-quality patient care and exceptional client service. You’ll be embedded within one hospital at a time—helping to stabilize, guide, and grow the team during periods of transition or leadership gaps.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide on-site leadership and management for assigned hospitals in the Chicago area
  • Oversee daily operations including staffing, scheduling, inventory, and client service
  • Support and coach hospital teams to uphold Thrive values and drive performance
  • Collaborate with medical leaders to ensure top-tier veterinary care and compliance
  • Contribute to financial management, including budget tracking and KPI monitoring
  • Implement operational improvements and ensure adherence to hospital policies

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of veterinary hospital management or supervisory experience required
  • Previous experience in emergency or specialty veterinary settings is a plus
  • Bachelor’s degree in business or a related field (or equivalent experience)
  • CVPM certification encouraged
  • Strong communication, leadership, and organizational skills
  • Comfortable adapting to different teams and workflows
  • Willingness and ability to travel to various hospital locations across Chicago

Benefits (for eligible employees)

  • Competitive pay & 401(k) with employer match
  • Veterinary service discounts & pet perks
  • Mental health support through Lyra Health (24/7 access)
  • Paid parental leave & "purr-ental" leave for pet adoptions
  • Employer-sponsored childcare and elder care assistance
  • Continuing education (CE) support and tuition reimbursement
  • Student loan tools and financial wellness resources

Why Thrive Pet Healthcare?

We support your growth through:
