Position Summary

Veritas Veterinary Partners seeks a Director of Client Experience to design, lead and continuously improve the client experience program across all Partner Hospitals. This enterprise-level role is responsible for building scalable programs that shape every touchpoint in the client journey, from first contact to long-term loyalty, and for translating those programs into consistent, measurable results across a growing hospital network. Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer, the Director of Client Experience serves as a strategic partner to Hospital Directors and clinical leadership, using data and field insight to close gaps, build capability and drive performance.

This position requires approximately 50% travel to Partner Hospitals, with concentrated presence during onboarding periods, performance improvement initiatives and enterprise program launches.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

Enterprise Program Design and Client Lifecycle Strategy

Design and own the enterprise client experience strategy, encompassing every stage of the client lifecycle: awareness, first visit, ongoing care, end-of-life and loyalty.
Build scalable, replicable programs that Hospital Directors and Client Experience Managers can execute consistently regardless of hospital size, specialty mix or team maturity.
Develop and maintain enterprise-wide service standards, client communication frameworks and experience blueprints that reflect Veritas values.
Lead end-to-end journey mapping to identify friction points, gaps in care communication and unmet client needs; translate findings into prioritized improvement initiatives.
Partner with Marketing, Operations and Medical leadership to ensure the client experience strategy aligns with clinical excellence, brand identity and business objectives.
Develop and maintain the enterprise framework for end-of-life and bereavement communication, including structured protocols for euthanasia conversations, aftercare coordination and follow-up outreach, and ensure Hospital Directors and Client Experience Managers are trained and supported to execute them consistently.
Establish and maintain enterprise standards for accessible client communication, including language access resources, accommodation protocols for clients with disabilities and plain-language guidelines for medical communication.

Training Design and Team Capability Building

Create, own and continuously refine the enterprise client experience training curriculum, covering service standards, client communication, empathy-based techniques, service recovery and end-of-life conversations.
Design training in formats that are role-appropriate and scalable across all hospitals, including in-person, virtual and on-demand delivery.
Partner with Hospital Directors and People and Culture Operations to embed training into onboarding programs for all client-facing roles, ensuring new hires reach proficiency benchmarks consistently across the network.
Develop coaching toolkits and peer-learning resources that empower Client Experience Managers to facilitate ongoing development within their own teams.
Track training effectiveness through pre/post assessments, client satisfaction data and observational audits; revise curriculum based on results.
Develop and maintain enterprise standards for inbound telephone communication, including call handling protocols, service standard execution and scheduling efficiency; partner with Hospital Directors and Client Experience Managers to ensure consistent application across all client-facing teams.

Innovation and Continuous Experience Improvement

Serve as the enterprise resource for client experience innovation, continuously scanning veterinary, human healthcare and hospitality sectors for emerging practices, tools and technologies.
Identify and pilot new approaches to client communication, wait-time management, digital touchpoints and post-visit engagement; scale successful pilots across the network.
Establish and monitor client experience KPIs including client satisfaction scores, Net Promoter Score, service recovery rates and retention metrics; present regular performance reviews to executive leadership.
Lead root-cause analysis on persistent service failures and client dissatisfaction trends; develop network-wide corrective action plans with clear ownership and timelines.
Champion the adoption of technology solutions, including practice management enhancements, client communication platforms and feedback tools, that improve the client and team experience.
Own the enterprise client feedback governance policy, including standards for online review monitoring and response, complaint documentation, resolution timelines and escalation thresholds that trigger involvement from hospital or enterprise leadership.

Hospital Director Partnership and Revenue Support

Partner with Hospital Directors at each location to assess client experience performance, identify gaps and co-develop improvement plans tailored to each hospital.
Support Hospital Directors in leveraging client experience as a driver of diversion reduction, increased compliance with recommended care and capture of ancillary revenue opportunities.
Provide consultation and data analysis to help hospital leaders connect client experience performance to business outcomes including appointment volume, average transaction value and client retention.
Facilitate peer learning and best-practice sharing across the Hospital Director and Client Experience Manager community, fostering a network-wide culture of service excellence.
Represent client experience perspectives in enterprise-level operational and strategic planning discussions, ensuring the client voice informs decisions across the network.
Partner with Medical Directors and hospital leadership to develop and monitor communication standards for referring veterinarians, including case update protocols, discharge summary timeliness and referral relationship follow-up, recognizing that the referring DVM experience directly affects hospital reputation and case volume.

Workforce Planning and Scheduling Optimization

Develop and maintain enterprise standards for client experience staffing models, including role definitions, span-of-control benchmarks and minimum coverage requirements for client-facing positions.
Partner with Hospital Directors and People and Culture Operations to support workforce planning for client experience teams, including headcount recommendations, succession planning and pipeline development for the Client Experience Manager role.
Analyze scheduling data across hospitals to identify patterns affecting client wait times, phone response rates and discharge efficiency; recommend and support implementation of improved scheduling frameworks.
Build staffing benchmarking tools that allow hospitals to calibrate client experience team size to patient volume, service mix and client satisfaction targets.
Support Hospital Directors in managing peak-demand periods, including surge staffing strategies and cross-training programs that increase scheduling flexibility.

Stakeholder Engagement and Field Presence

Travel to Partner Hospitals approximately 50% of the time, conducting site visits that include team observations, leadership coaching, workflow assessments and program implementation support.
Build trusted relationships with Hospital Directors, Client Experience Managers, clinical leaders and frontline team members to remain grounded in operational realities.
