Hospital Helpers Jobs (NOW HIRING)

If you’ve ever thought, “I love medicine, but not the pace, pressure, or chaos that comes with most veterinary roles,” keep reading.

Sage Veterinary Imaging is not a general practice. We are not an ER. We don’t do wellness, vaccines, or high-volume appointments. Many of our team members say the same thing after joining: “I didn’t realize veterinary medicine could look like this.”

We exist for one reason: to provide clear diagnostic answers that help pets get the right care faster.

Sage Veterinary Imaging is seeking a practice manager to lead our diagnostic imaging team in Round Rock, Texas. This role is ideal for a leader with experience in urgent, emergency, or specialty practices and understands the cultural and operational impacts of hospital leadership. This role is for someone who enjoys diagnostics, upholds medical quality, is an excellent communicator, and wants a calmer, more intentional way to practice medicine.
Sage Veterinary Imaging uses advanced, human-quality imaging technologies in 3T MRI, 128 slice CT, X-ray, and ultrasound. Coupled with our same-day digital cytology lab, we ensure optimal diagnostic accuracy, which allows our referring veterinarians to plan the most effective treatments for the pets in our care.

Sage Veterinary Imaging is a leader in advanced diagnostic imaging, bringing together expert clinicians, state-of-the-art technology, and a shared commitment to finding answers for pets. We believe pets are family, and we strive to deliver human-quality medicine with compassion, precision, and collaboration—partnering closely with veterinarians and pet owners to provide answers and peace of mind.

This role is ideal for a leader who thrives at the intersection of people, culture, and operations. The right candidate is energized by building strong, collaborative teams and takes pride in fostering a positive, values-driven workplace. They are both strategic and hands-on—able to drive operational excellence while staying closely connected to their team’s needs. Someone who communicates with clarity, leads with empathy, and is motivated by creating an environment where both people and the practice can succeed will excel in this position.

The practice manager serves as both the operational leader and cultural cornerstone of the practice. Success in this role depends on fostering a cohesive, high-performing team and cultivating a positive workplace environment that reflects and reinforces SVI’s core values.
