Manager, Employee Relations & Leave Manager | Remote | (US)

Who we are At Vetcor, everything we do starts with one simple ide, when our people are supported, they can focus on what matters most: caring for animals and the communities who depend on them. We partner with over 900+ veterinary hospitals across the U.S. and Canada, and behind every great clinic team is a strong support system. This role plays a key part in ensuring our veterinarians, technicians, and hospital teams feel heard, supported, and treated fairly across every stage of their employee experience. What you'll do here You’ll lead employee relations and leave of absence programs for a large, multi-site veterinary organization, partnering closely with hospital leaders, HR, and legal to navigate workplace concerns, complex employee situations, and leave needs with consistency and care. This includes: Supporting veterinary hospitals with employee relations guidance, investigations, and resolution of workplace concerns Overseeing leave of absence and accommodation programs (FMLA, ADA, state leaves, and more) Ensuring fairness, compliance, and consistency across diverse hospital environments Partnering with leaders who are often focused on clinical care — helping them navigate people-related challenges Identifying trends and proactively improving the employee experience across clinics Why the Work Matters Veterinary teams face unique challenges, fast-paced environments, emotional work, and the need to balance patient care with operational demands. This role exists to make sure those teams are supported when it matters most. We’re committed to helping our employees elevate their careers, their well-being, and their connection to each other. That means providing not just policies and processes, but real support when life and work intersect. What we are Looking For Strong HR background with deep employee relations and leave management experience Confidence working in complex, multi-site environments (veterinary strongly preferred) Experience handling sensitive workplace issues with fairness and empathy Strong knowledge of employment law (FMLA, ADA, etc.) Ability to partner with leaders who are not HR experts but deeply care about their teams A calm, practical approach to problem-solving in fast-moving environments Why Vetcor You’ll be part of an organization that genuinely values its people, not just in words, but in how we show up for them every day. Our culture is built on collaboration, trust, and supporting one another across clinics and teams.
