Director, Relationship Management

At Covetrus the Director, Relationship Management is more than a team leader — you are a regional growth owner! You’ll shape strategy, drive growth, and inspire performance across a high-impact team of Veterinary Relationship Managers (VRMs) focused on clinics with low to mid-level adoption of Covetrus solutions. Your mission: transform these accounts into loyal, thriving customers by deepening relationships, expanding solution usage, and delivering measurable value.

You’ll lead with data, insight, and heart — combining commercial discipline with a customer-first mindset. This is a dynamic, remote-based leadership role that blends consultative sales, business development, and virtual team management in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
