Veterinary Clinical Director

Most veterinary clinics are stuck in 2005.Paper records. No client app. Marketing that begins and ends with a Google listing. Zero use of AI or data. The industry is overdue for disruption — and that’s exactly what we’re here to do.A new veterinary group is launching across the UAE with ambitious plans for a fast-paced, multi-site rollout — and rapid expansion into the wider GCC, particularly KSA. We’re looking for a Veterinary Clinical Director to join the founding team. This isn’t a standard job listing. It’s an invitation to build the most progressive veterinary brand in the Middle East.What makes this differentWe’re technology-first. Purpose-built practice management. A pet-owner app that clients will actually love — think booking, records, reminders, loyalty, and behavioural nudges powered by real science. Not an afterthought bolted onto legacy software.We’re building with AI and data at the core. Predictive analytics for patient health, intelligent scheduling, automated follow-ups, and data-driven clinical insights that help vets make better decisions faster. This isn’t AI for the sake of it — it’s AI that makes exceptional veterinary care scalable.We’re building a brand, not just clinics. Full-stack marketing and sales engine: lead generation, SEO, GEO, conversion-optimised funnels, and a client experience designed from first Google search to five-star review.We’re backed by the founders and management team of one of the GCC’s leading leisure operators — a group that has disrupted and scaled 50+ leisure sites across the GCC, predominantly in the UAE and KSA. Now we’re bringing that same playbook, pace, and ambition to the veterinary space.We’re launching multiple locations in rapid succession across the UAE, with KSA expansion on the near horizon. This is a ground-floor opportunity with a defined trajectory to regional clinical leadership.The RoleYou’ll be the clinical heartbeat of this venture. You won’t just practise medicine — you’ll define the clinical protocols, the standard of care, and the culture that every vet who joins after you will inherit. You’ll have full clinical autonomy: no corporate playbook, no committee sign-offs, no one overriding your medical judgement. You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with the founding team to design patient journeys that are as seamless as the technology powering them.You’ll be accountable for clinical revenue and productivity — driving case value, treatment plan uptake, and clinical efficiency across the network. You’ll be expected to understand the numbers, influence them directly through the quality and consistency of clinical care, and prove that excellent medicine drives excellent business outcomes.As we scale, you’ll become the mentor and clinical leader for every veterinarian who joins the network. You’ll shape how they practise, how they think, and how they grow. If you’ve ever wanted to leave a genuine mark on the next generation of vets in this region — this is that role.Day to day, you’ll be:Leading consultations — complex cases, second opinions, and setting the clinical standard through your own caseloadPerforming and overseeing surgeries, from routine procedures to advanced soft tissue and orthopaedic casesInterpreting diagnostics — in-house lab work, imaging, and leveraging AI-powered clinical decision-support toolsDesigning and implementing clinical protocols, treatment guidelines, and standard operating procedures across all clinicsMentoring and developing associate veterinarians — case reviews, clinical coaching, and building a culture of continuous improvementCollaborating with the Practice Manager on scheduling, clinical capacity planning, and operational workflowReviewing clinical performance data — case outcomes, client feedback, treatment uptake, and revenue per consultation — and using insights to raise the barBuilding relationships with specialist referral partners and diagnostic lab providersThis will suit you if:You’re an experienced veterinarian (5+ years) who’s frustrated by how slowly the industry evolvesYou want full clinical autonomy — the freedom to practise medicine your way, without corporate protocols dictating your decisionsYou’re commercially minded — you understand clinical revenue, case value, and how great medicine drives business performanceYou’re excited by technology and believe it should make vets better, not replace themYou want to build clinical standards from scratch, not inherit someone else’sYou’re a natural mentor who gets energy from developing other veterinarians and raising the bar for an entire teamYou’re capable of operating in a fast-paced, high-growth, entrepreneurial environment — and you thrive on itYou’re based in the GCC, or you’re a world-class international candidate ready for a relocation opportunity — we’re open to exceptional talent from anywhereYou want equity-level impact without the “just another associate” ceilingWhat’s on offerFounding clinical leader position with genuine influence over th
