Job Description

Veterinary Practice Manager

Alton Main Animal Hospital – Santa Ana, CA

Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same—and where pets, people, and leadership all come together? At Alton Main Animal Hospital , we’re searching for an experienced veterinary technician ready to take the next step (or the next leap ) into a leadership role as our Practice Manager .

This isn’t a sit-behind-a-desk kind of management job. You’ll be on the floor supporting our doctors, mentoring our team, and making sure every patient and client experience is top-notch. If you’re the type who leads by example and loves helping others succeed, you’ll fit right in here.

What You’ll Do

Lead from the floor : Deliver outstanding patient care and client service while setting the tone for the team.

Partner with leadership : Work closely with our Medical Director and Regional Director to ensure the hospital thrives—clinically, operationally, and financially.

Coach and empower : Train, mentor, and support team members in real time to keep workflow smooth and morale high.

Delight clients : Handle client communications with empathy, professionalism, and a touch of warmth that makes them feel at home.

Keep things running seamlessly : Manage schedules, inventory, and budgets with a strategic eye (and maybe a little love for spreadsheets).

Build culture : Foster an environment where the team feels supported, appreciated, and excited to come to work.

What We’re Looking For

A skilled veterinary technician with strong clinical know-how in anesthesia, dentistry, lab work, and patient handling.

Proven leadership skills —you know how to motivate, manage, and bring out the best in people.

A business-minded multitasker who’s as comfortable analyzing metrics as they are calming a nervous pet parent.

A clear, confident communicator who keeps both clients and the team informed and inspired.

Why You’ll Love Alton Main

Located in sunny Santa Ana, CA —close to everything Orange County has to offer!

A collaborative, upbeat team that values positivity, teamwork, and top-tier care.

Competitive compensation (starting at $70,000–$75,000 annually + bonus potential )

Comprehensive benefits and ongoing professional development opportunities.

A role that perfectly blends hands-on patient care and strategic leadership —because we know you love both.

If you’re ready to bring your expertise, energy, and heart to a team that truly values them, we’d love to meet you.
