• Maintain agility to reprioritise as needed to support the Partner‑First strategy.

Marketing, Procurement & IT Readiness

• Ensure local marketing plans and PR activity are agreed and delivered on time.

• Oversee procurement and installation of all equipment, stock and supplies.

• Coordinate IT installation, PMS readiness, staff training and any specialist equipment requirements.

Finance & People Support

• Support Operations and HR with recruitment planning to ensure each practice opens fully staffed and ready to serve clients.

What We’re Looking For:

• Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills, including at senior level.

• Highly organised, analytical and comfortable managing complex, multi‑site delivery programmes at pace in an agile environment.

• Commercially astute with strong problem‑solving and prioritisation abilities, simplifying complex issues.

• Familiarity with service delivery frameworks, SLAs, vendor governance and CAPEX planning.

• Proficient in Microsoft Office and familiar with operational, budgeting and workflow systems.

• Knowledge of central operations functions (Property, IT, HR, Finance, Procurement) and how they integrate with field operations.

• Full UK driving licence is essential.

• Good understanding of veterinary practice environments is desirable.
