ABOUT THE ROLE Vetcove is seeking a Head of Enterprise Business Development to deepen relationships with the largest veterinary groups in the country and turn those partnerships into significant new growth. You’ll start from a position of strength: nearly all of these organizations already use and trust Vetcove. Your opportunity is to build on that foundation, get to know their businesses deeply, and expand what we can accomplish together. As Vetcove’s technology grows, you’ll help these organizations evaluate and adopt solutions that shape how their practices operate and drive incremental ROI for their organizations. This is a senior, hands-on individual contributor role with direct responsibility for winning new business and achieving ambitious revenue goals. You’ll build lasting relationships across executive and operating teams, spend meaningful time with customers in person, and understand their workflows, challenges, and long-term technology ambitions. You’ll turn that understanding into opportunities and lead them through discovery, cross-functional evaluations, RFPs, negotiation, and close. You’ll also help shape the future of these partnerships across Vetcove’s platforms. Working closely with platform leaders and company leadership, you’ll anticipate customer needs, stay ahead of relationship risks, and bring insights to Product and Engineering that influence what we build next. The ideal candidate combines the drive and commercial instincts of an exceptional enterprise business developer with the curiosity, judgment, and follow-through to become a trusted long-term partner. You should love both earning a customer’s confidence and turning that confidence into meaningful business.
