Veterinary Practice Manager

Overview

Veterinary Practice Manager – Merrimac Valley Animal Hospital, Amesbury, MA. Salary: $65,000–$80,000, depending on experience.

Tucked at the northern tip of Massachusetts, Amesbury blends small-town New England charm with a lively streak. We’re talking brick mill buildings turned cafés and breweries, walking trails that spill into the Merrimack River, and a local vibe where people actually know their neighbors (and their pets, and their pets’ nicknames).

Right in that mix sits Merrimac Valley Animal Hospital, a well-established practice that’s quietly built decades of trust here. We’re known for practical, thoughtful medicine, long-term client relationships, and a team that shows up ready to support each other. We’re looking for a Practice Manager who can help us keep things running smoothly as we grow, evolve, and continue to take great care of the pets who come through our doors.

• Lead, coach, and develop a dedicated hospital team
• Keep communication flowing and energy steady — you’re the “let’s figure it out” person
• Partner with our Medical Director to align great medicine with great workflow
• Coordinate operations: scheduling, inventory, orders, vendors, equipment
• Oversee HR and compliance while keeping systems organized
• Track performance metrics, budgeting, and financial health
• Support local outreach — Amesbury loves seeing us plugged into the community
• Cultivate a workplace where learning and curiosity are always on the menu

• 3+ years of veterinary management experience
• Prior experience in marketing, client engagement, or social media is a plus
• CVPM or LVT? Awesome — not required
• SHRM/business education/MBA also welcomed
• Calm, confident leadership style
• Comfort solving problems in real-time without getting rattled
• A talent for guiding people through busy days with clarity and empathy

In a town that feels both peaceful and energized, we offer:

• 401(k) with employer match
• Generous paid time off
• Medical, vision, and dental insurance with multiple options
• Company-sponsored Employee Assistance Program
• Referral bonus program
• Employee pet care discount
• And more

Plus the things you can’t list in a benefits box:
Supportive leadership, room to bring your ideas to life, and a team that is serious about great care — without taking itself too seriously.
