Director of Doctor Partner Growth (Remote)

Veterinary Practice Partners • Boston, MA

12d • Remote

About The Position

Veterinary Practice Partners (VPP) is redefining veterinarian ownership by pairing exceptional doctors with the support and expertise to build successful practices. We empower DVMs to become co-owners – without sacrificing medicine, quality of life, or autonomy. With 190+ partnership hospitals nationwide and rapid expansion ahead, we are investing in a new strategic role designed to significantly expand our national reach and introduce more veterinarians to ownership opportunities through VPP. The Director of Doctor Partner Growth is the spearhead of our national outreach strategy – a connector, storyteller, and talent scout who identifies veterinarians with ownership potential and guides them into meaningful partnership conversations. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on building relationships, reading people, and opening doors. You’ll operate like a founder: problem solving, iterating, listening deeply, and hunting for opportunity in unexpected places. You’ll be measured not on activity – but on impact: discovering future co-owners for our partnership model and fueling the next wave of VPP growth.
