Location United Kingdom
Discipline: Small Animal Vet, Veterinary Surgeons, Clinical Director, Head Vet
Job type: Permanent
Contact name: Ciaran Conroy

Job ref: 5271
Published: 3 days ago

We are partnering with an innovative, well-funded veterinary group in Northern Ireland to appoint a Founding Veterinary Partner – a senior veterinary leader who wants more than a traditional senior vet role.

This is a genuine partnership opportunity for a commercially minded vet to shape the clinical, cultural and commercial direction of a fast-scaling group from the very beginning.

You’ll be part of an ambitious new venture built around care, accessibility, innovation and community – not a corporate consolidation model.


The Opportunity

  • Join as the lead veterinary partner in a high-growth, well-funded veterinary group

  • Step into a structured equity pathway with seven-figure potential over the next five years (performance-linked)

  • Influence the design, development and growth of a modern veterinary business from day one

  • Work closely with an experienced investment team focused on building something genuinely different


Who We’re Looking For

We’re keen to speak with senior veterinary professionals who:

  • Combine a strong clinical foundation with clear commercial awareness

  • Are energised by building, leading and owning part of a veterinary brand

  • Have the leadership maturity to shape culture, standards and strategy

  • Bring ambition, drive and a passion for modernising how veterinary care is delivered


Selection Process

Shortlisted candidates will progress through a multi-stage leadership and strategic assessment process, including confidential discussions with the investment team.

Later-stage candidates will be invited to share their thinking on the future of veterinary leadership, culture and service delivery as part of the process.
This stage is NDA-protected and reserved for top-tier candidates.


Next Steps

If you’re a senior vet ready to take real ownership, drive meaningful growth and help shape a modern veterinary group from the ground up, we would love to speak with you.
