Senior Director, Talent Development Operations

<p><strong>ABOUT VEG</strong></p> <p>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.</p> <p> </p> <p>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.</p> <p> </p> <p>VEG is a 2025 and 2026 certified Great Place to Work®.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>THE JOB</strong></p> <p>At VEG we find a way to say YES—and this role brings that mindset to turning learning into capability across VEG, so VEGquarters (VQ) can equip our hospitals and frontline VEGgies to grow, perform, and deliver the VEG experience consistently as we grow.</p> <p> </p> <p>As <strong>Senior Director, Talent Development Operations</strong>, you’ll lead the people and systems that turn Talent Development strategy into scalable development across VEG—connecting our programs, trainers, technology, training environments, and field partners so learning reaches hospitals consistently and effectively.</p> <p> </p> <p>You’ll build the bridge between VQ and the frontline, shaping what should be built centrally, what should be enabled closer to hospitals, and how the two work together so VEGgies can learn, practice, and grow in the flow of their work.
