EVG Specialty Network is a high-growth, multi-site specialty and emergency veterinary organization. We are building a differentiated platform focused on clinical excellence, strong hospital leadership, and scalable infrastructure to support long-term growth.
We are at an inflection point—expanding rapidly and investing in the systems, people, and leadership needed to scale.
The Opportunity
We are looking for a builder.
The Chief People Officer will design, build, and scale the entire people function for EVG. This is not a maintenance role. This is an opportunity to create the systems, processes, and leadership infrastructure that will define how the organization grows. You will partner directly with the CEO and executive team to translate strategy into execution—building a high-performing, accountable, and values-driven organization across multiple hospitals and markets.
This role requires someone who is equally comfortable:
What You Will Own
Build the People Function
Design and implement a scalable HR infrastructure across a multi-site organization
Standardize processes across recruiting, onboarding, performance management, and employee relations
Establish clear accountability, expectations, and operating rhythms across all people functions
Talent Acquisition That Matches Growth
Build a recruiting engine that consistently delivers high-quality veterinarians, specialists, and leaders
Partner with operations to align hiring with hospital growth and service line expansion
Elevate recruiting from reactive to proactive and data-driven
Leadership Development & Accountability
Build leadership capability across Hospital Administrators, Practice Managers, and Department Leaders
Implement clear performance management systems tied to outcomes
Partner with the CEO and COO to strengthen leadership bench strength across the network
HR Operations That Actually Work
Create simple, scalable systems that support hospitals—not slow them down
Bring consistency and clarity to employee relations and performance management
Ensure compliance across multiple states without overcomplicating processes
Compensation, Payroll & Benefits
Oversee payroll and benefits with a focus on accuracy, efficiency, and scalability
Build and refine compensation structures that align performance with results
Ensure total rewards are competitive and support retention
Culture & Retention
Build a culture of accountability, performance, and respect
Identify and address retention risks early
Ensure hospitals feel supported—not burdened—by HR
