We’re seeking an experienced and adaptable Implementation Manager to support the successful roll-out of clinical systems across VetPartners’ network of veterinary clinics. This 12-month fixed-term role will be responsible for coordinating stakeholders, managing vendor interactions, and ensuring each clinic is supported through the change process.

This role will require some travel to clinics during key phases of implementation. We're looking for someone who is highly organised, people-focused, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving environment.

- Monitor project milestones and timelines, addressing any issues or delays to keep the rollout on track.
- Provide clear documentation and reporting to ensure visibility of progress and risks.
- Stakeholder Collaboration- Act as the key liaison between clinic teams, regional operations, IT, and external vendors.
- Build strong relationships with veterinarians and support staff to foster engagement and confidence in the rollout.
- Facilitate regular communication between all stakeholders, ensuring updates are timely, accurate, and well understood.
- Gather and share feedback to inform implementation improvements and respond to concerns early.
- Change Management- Support clinical teams through change by promoting awareness, understanding, and adoption of new systems.
- Identify potential areas of resistance and work with clinic leadership to manage concerns effectively.
- Encourage a culture of continuous improvement and adaptability within clinical environments.
- Tailor change approaches to suit each clinic's readiness and team dynamics.
- Quality Assurance & Continuous Improvement- Conduct post-implementation reviews to assess success, gather feedback, and identify lessons learned.
- Collaborate with the broader project and operational teams to improve rollout frameworks and future implementations.
- Ensure that clinics are not only "live" but are confident and capable in using the new systems effectively.
- Monitor the clinical impact of changes and escalate any issues requiring technical or operational support.
- Travel and On-Site Support- Be available to attend clinics in person during critical rollout periods, offering real-time support and problem-solving.
- Represent the project team on the ground, helping teams feel supported and connected throughout the transition.

**Skills, Attributes, and Experience**:
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
- Strong organisation and time management, with the ability to juggle multiple clinic rollouts
