Job Description

Alliance Animal Health is seeking a skilled and people-focused Hospital Administrator to lead Swansboro Animal Hospital ER and Trauma Center, one of our Specialty & Emergency hospitals. This is an exciting opportunity to support a talented team of veterinarians, technicians, and support staff who provide exceptional care to patients and families when it matters most!

At Alliance, we believe in partnership, not uniformity. Each hospital retains its unique culture and medical autonomy, while benefiting from shared resources, leadership development, and operational support.

Our vision is simple. We take care of our people, and our people take care of each other. You’ll work hard, you’ll feel stressed, and some days you’ll go home with sore feet and a heavy heart.  But you’ll never face it alone. You’ll have a team that supports you, a management team that listens to you, a true career path with endless growth opportunities, and constant access to unique and exciting cases that will challenge you and grow your skills and knowledge.

This clinic is all about growth- not just for our DVMs and management, but for every member of the support staff. We believe emergency medicine is a collaborative effort, and we’re passionate about extending that collaboration into our community through partnerships with local shelters and rescues.

The Hospital Administrator is a key member of our leadership team, responsible for driving operational excellence and supporting the delivery of outstanding patient care. You’ll partner closely with the Medical Directors and Regional Operations team to lead day-to-day operations, financial performance, and team engagement.

You’ll play a critical role in building a culture rooted in collaboration, accountability, and respect — ensuring both our people and our patients thrive.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead, mentor, and develop department managers and supervisors across Emergency, Specialty, and Client Service teams.
  • Oversee hospital operations, staffing, scheduling, and workflow optimization.
  • Collaborate with Medical Directors to align operational goals with medical excellence and patient outcomes.
  • Analyze financial and performance metrics (revenue, EBITDA, COGS, payroll %, etc.) to drive growth and efficiency.
  • Champion client experience initiatives and uphold service standards.
  • Manage budgets, forecasting, and capital planning in partnership with regional leadership.
  • Support recruiting, onboarding, and retention strategies to strengthen the hospital team.
  • Foster cross-departmental communication and a positive, transparent work environment.

Qualifications

We're Looking For

  • Proven leadership in veterinary, medical, or multi-site operations management.
  • Strong business and financial acumen with the ability to make data-driven decisions.
  • Skilled communicator who can build trust and lead through influence.
  • Adaptable, resourceful, and comfortable in a fast-paced clinical environment.
  • Passionate about veterinary medicine, people leadership, and operational excellence.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in business, healthcare management, or related field.
  • 3+ years of leadership experience in a veterinary or healthcare setting.
  • Experience with specialty and emergency hospital operations is highly preferred.

Why Alliance Animal Health

  • Competitive compensation package with performance-based incentives.
  • Comprehensive benefits (medical, dental, vision, 401k, PTO, CE allowance).
