Veterinary Practice Manager

About The Position

Southern Hills Animal Hospital is seeking a dynamic, hands-on Practice Manager who brings both strong leadership skills and solid veterinary technician experience to our growing hospital. This is not a desk-only management position. We are looking for a medical-minded leader who can manage operations and confidently step into the treatment area when needed. If you are an experienced veterinary technician who has grown into leadership, or a current Practice Manager who still loves being involved in patient care, this could be the perfect fit. The Practice Manager plays a vital medical leadership role. There must always be a Lead Technician or Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) on-site, and when coverage is limited, the Practice Manager steps in to function as Lead Tech to support the medical team. This position blends business operations, team leadership, medical oversight, and hands-on clinical support. We are looking for someone who thrives in all four areas.
