ABOUT VEG 

In 2014, VEG was born with a mission to help people and their pets when they need it most by challenging norms and fixing the ER experience. Since then, we’ve expanded rapidly, with hospitals nationwide open 24/7/365, and created an ER experience that focuses on what our pets and pet parents really need. We’ve done the same for our people (VEGgies), finding a way to say YES so they are empowered to achieve great things, grow in unexpected ways, and find a place where they truly belong.

 

We’re rethinking emergency care from every angle—from how we run our hospitals to how we support the people working inside them. That’s where our headquarters team comes in. Whether building technology to make our hospitals more efficient, recruiting and growing incredible VEGgies, or bringing our brand to life through marketing, our VQ (VEG Headquarters) team makes it all possible—ensuring our hospitals and people have everything they need to help pets and their families.

 

VEG is a 2025 certified Great Place to Work®.

 

THE JOB 

At VEG, we find a way to say YES—so you can lead hospital launches that redefine what emergency medicine feels like for people and their pets. As Launch Manager, you’ll be at the center of our growth story, turning construction sites into fully operational, patient-ready ERs. You’ll lead with impact, adapt quickly, and bring big ideas to life by ensuring every detail comes together seamlessly.

This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives in fast-paced, ever-changing environments. You’ll navigate competing priorities with confidence, build trust across teams, and create strong partnerships that fuel success. Think on your feet, solve problems in the moment, and rally VEGgies around a shared goal because at VEG, every launch matters.

Knowledge of change management and a solution-oriented, collaborative mindset are key.  Physical and Organizational Readiness: Must be able to stand for long periods and lift at least 30lbs.
