  • Serve as the internal communications consultant and air-traffic-control for IT, Operations, Finance, and other functions, coordinating what goes out and when.
  • Act as a culture builder with a journalist's eye, gathering stories and images from operators, project managers, and partners across the company, and packaging them to reinforce the VPP Way.

External Communications
  • Draft external messaging for marketing and LinkedIn, serving as a primary writer for VPP's external voice and partnering with marketing on campaigns, positioning, and content.
  • Position VPP's executive team as industry thought leaders by securing conference speaking engagements, podcast appearances, and op-eds, and developing their thought-leadership platforms.
  • Build and maintain relationships with journalists covering veterinary medicine, private-equity-backed healthcare services, and related beats; pitch stories proactively.
  • Develop external creative assets, including podcast, video, print, and digital storytelling that carries VPP's story into the profession.

  • Bachelor's degree in Communications, Journalism, English, Marketing, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
