Operations Manager – Veterinary Group (WA Based)
Lead. Improve. Inspire.
Our group of privately owned veterinary practices across Western Australia is looking for an experienced and motivated Operations Manager to step into a key leadership role. Following the recent departure of our previous Operations Manager due to health reasons, we’re looking for someone who can continue the positive momentum and help take our group to the next level.
We’ve grown rapidly over the past 18 months — now with 9 clinics across WA, and more on the horizon. We’re building something different, but with plenty of work to do to establish a network that values clinical autonomy, invests in growth, and keeps patient care and team culture at the heart of everything we do.
About the Role

- Ensure alignment across clinics with group objectives while respecting local identity
This is not a desk job — it’s ideal for someone who loves being on the road, connecting with teams in person, and actively supporting clinics where it matters most.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience in multi-site operations or senior management (veterinary preferred)
- A natural leader who is practical, approachable, and able to drive accountability
- Strong communicator and trusted partner to clinical and non-clinical teams alike

- Be part of a genuinely supportive, collaborative team that’s committed to approaching things differently
- Influence the future of a growing veterinary group
- Work with talented clinic teams who care deeply about their people, clients, and patients
