Hospital Job Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Position Overview:

Points East Veterinary Specialty Hospital of Wilmington is seeking a Hospital Administrator to lead our newest location in Wilmington, North Carolina, opening in late fall 2026. This brand-new, 16,000 sq ft facility (with planned expansion to 24,000 sq ft) has been thoughtfully designed to support high-quality emergency and specialty care while allowing room for continued growth as the hospital scales up.

Working in close partnership with the partner veterinarians Melissa Stoll, DVM, DACVS, and Paige Harrington, DVM, and the Directors of Operations and Team Development, the Hospital Administrator will play a central role in building the hospital from the ground up—establishing workflows, shaping culture, and driving operational excellence from day one.

This is a unique opportunity to step into a leadership role where your impact is immediate and visible. You will oversee all non-clinical operations, including team development, financial performance, client experience, and process optimization. From hiring and onboarding a new team to implementing systems that support efficiency and quality, you will help create a hospital that reflects both clinical excellence and a strong, sustainable culture.
