Chief Veterinary Resources Officer - North American Operations

We are looking to align with a senior veterinary individual to harmonize multiple laboratory animal medicine sites across the United States. Someone to stand up for what is right (animal welfare), protect the innocent (onboard new veterinary staff), promote justice for all (harmonization of practices, policies, procedures, and protocols). A SuperVet®, the attending veterinarian of all the attending veterinarians and a champion of animal welfare.

This role would be the attending veterinarian of all the attending veterinarians in the organization at multiple sites and would act as the chief veterinary resources officer for North American operations including research services and research models.

Each of our research facilities across the organization has unique characteristics, challenges, and opportunities. Through the growth and acquisition strategy we are looking to harmonize areas of veterinary care, animal welfare, and to promote a culture of professional development and growth. The chief veterinary resources officer would bring into concert our sites across North America.
