VP of Sales

What We Do

We’re on a mission to empower animal healthcare professionals with opportunities to earn more and achieve greater flexibility in their careers and personal lives.

Powered by groundbreaking technology, Roo has built the industry-leading veterinary staffing platform, connecting Veterinarians, Technicians, and Assistants with animal hospitals for relief work and hiring opportunities. Roo empowers the largest network of over 20,000 veterinary professionals to help more than 9,000 animal hospitals provide quality care to more pets.
Together, we’ve provided more than 3 million hours of healthcare, helping Veterinarians earn more than $200 million.

About the Role

Roo Veterinary is building the modern labor marketplace and operating system for veterinary care. We help hospitals reliably staff shifts and access great veterinary professionals, so care happens when it’s needed, without burning out teams.

We’re hiring a VP of Sales to lead our efforts at building a high-performing sales organization and enhancing the sales culture of the company. Reporting directly to the CEO and serving as a key member of the management team, you’ll be accountable for growth on both sides of the marketplace, activating new hospitals and new providers (veterinarians and technicians) and growing volume through deepening provider engagement with Account Management programs

Key Responsibilities

• Own the integrated revenue strategy tied to company goals and unit economics.
• Design the coverage/territory/segment model across the revenue org (roles, handoffs, specialization, capacity).
• Allocate headcount and budget by ROI and constraints, maintaining a healthy cost of sales as you grow. Rebalance quickly when necessary.
• Build the operating cadence that makes forecast accuracy and quota attainment the default.

• Set hiring rubrics and enforce the bar; build a coaching culture and accountability.

• Own org-level capacity planning that maximizes ROI; drive org-wide clarity on definitions and leading indicators.
• Own the GTM systems architecture (CRM + tooling) with disciplined build-vs-buy judgment.
• Drive thoughtful automation that removes toil, enforces standards, and comes with real adoption plans.
• Align Product, Marketing, Finance, and Data around top revenue bets; secure resourcing for priorities and resolve tradeoffs quickly. Ensure opportunities are framed in a shared metrics backbone across functions—principled, not political.
• Lead major org/process/comp transformations while maintaining performance—protect the quarter while upgrading the machine.
