Founding DVM Partner Livewell Animal Hospital of Lake Nona at Livewell Animal Hospital
JOB DESCRIPTION
Your Impact as a Founding Partner & Lead Veterinarian
This is more than a leadership role; it's an opportunity to build and lead a practice with the full backing of an established network. As the Founding Partner & Lead Veterinarian, you will be the cornerstone of the hospital, responsible for establishing a gold-standard medical culture, mentoring your team, and driving the business's success as a true owner.
- Build a Thriving Practice Culture: You will be the architect of a client-first, collaborative culture, setting the tone for medical excellence and teamwork from day one.
- Lead and Mentor Your Medical Team: You will recruit, onboard, and develop your associate veterinarians and paraprofessional staff, fostering a team that is highly skilled, efficient, and engaged.
- Drive Medical and Surgical Excellence: You will set and maintain the hospital's standard of care, ensuring the delivery of excellent patient care and providing mentorship in general surgery and dentistry.
- Partner in Business Ownership: You will work directly with your Hospital Manager to manage the hospital's financial performance, making strategic decisions that drive top-line revenue growth and long-term success.
Built Different: The Livewell Model
Each Livewell location is carefully selected based on strong demographic, market, and growth data, to give the Founding DVM and hospital the best chance at long-term success. We selected Lake Nona West on Boggy Creek Road because the data pointed to a rare convergence: an affluent community (average household income $138,000+, median age 36, 58% college-educated) experiencing explosive growth along the Boggy Creek and Narcoossee corridors, with 70,000+ new residents projected through developments like Laureate Park and Isles of Lake Nona—thousands of families arriving without established veterinary relationships.
Your hospital will be the exclusive veterinary presence in Orlando's premier open-air lifestyle center, alongside brands like Nordstrom Rack and Sephora, embedded in one of Florida's most pet-centric communities where dog-friendly parks, trails, and events are woven into daily life. This isn't competing for market share—it's capturing a brand-new market of modern pet parents who already prioritize premium experiences and are ready to invest in the same standard of care for their animals.
What You'll Bring to the Team
- Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree and a license in good standing to practice in Pennsylvania
- A minimum of 2+ years of experience as a veterinarian
- A strong foundation in general medicine, surgery, and dentistry.
- A compassionate and collaborative leadership style with the ability to mentor and develop associate veterinarians and support staff.
- An entrepreneurial spirit and a strong understanding of what it takes to run a successful practice.
- Previous formal leadership or management experience is a significant plus.
Opportunity Highlights
- $1M+ in cash incentives tied to hospital growth ( top line revenue)
- Personal production paid monthly
- Leadership development & mentorship
- Equity options
