- • As a People Partner, you will be instrumental in upholding VEG's unique 'find a way to say YES' philosophy, empowering our people to achieve greatness, grow in unexpected ways, and find a true sense of belonging. You will operate at the intersection of strategic HR partnership and hands-on execution, navigating the fast-paced, innovative environment that defines VEG.

- • A significant aspect of this role involves regular travel to our hospitals within your assigned geography (Colorado, Nevada, Utah, or Arizona), requiring you to reside in one of these states. This consistent presence allows you to build and maintain strong, positive relationships with VEGgies and local hospital leaders on the ground. You will act as a vital link between our hospitals and our VEG Headquarters (VQ) team, collaborating closely with VQ, regional People, Operations, Nursing, and Medical Directors to execute a cohesive regional people strategy.

- • You will provide direct coaching and consultation to regional and local leaders, focusing on building and developing greater organizational capability. By partnering with these teams, you will gain a deep understanding of performance concerns and opportunities, working to identify and address root causes. A critical function is enhancing field leadership effectiveness and capabilities through assessing individual development needs and co-creating development plans. Your goal is to offer effective and holistic solutions that improve the performance of our VEGgies, always in collaboration with the local leadership team.
- • Safeguarding and nurturing the unique VEG culture is paramount. You will collaborate with local leaders to assess and proactively troubleshoot medium and high-risk concerns, consulting on appropriate solutions and follow-up actions. This includes responding promptly and effectively to employee questions and concerns, ensuring a supportive and fair work environment. Furthermore, you will guide, train, and direct local leaders on the proper execution of HR policies and processes, ensuring strict adherence to legal requirements (such as EEO, ADA, FMLA) and company standards.
- • This role is ideal for an HR professional who thrives in a mission-driven organization, possesses a deep understanding of HR best practices, and excels at building authentic relationships. You will be empowered to think creatively, challenge the status quo, and contribute to making VEG not just a leading veterinary emergency provider, but also an exceptional place to work. Your impact will be felt directly in the day-to-day experiences of our VEGgies and the overall success of our hospitals in the Southwest region. VEG is proud to be a certified Great Place to Work® for 2025 and 2026, and this role is central to maintaining and enhancing that distinction.
