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.

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
