Executive Assistant to the President and Co-Founder

ABOUT VEG

VEG was founded in 2014 with a bold idea: emergency veterinary care could be radically better—for pets, pet parents, and the people delivering it. 

Since then, we’ve grown into one of the fastest-growing healthcare and consumer businesses in the country, with hospitals nationwide open 24/7/365 and a brand that has redefined the veterinary emergency experience. Today, VEG has over 135 hospitals and 8,000 VEGgies.

Backed by some of the world’s leading investors and supported by an exceptional Board of Directors, VEG is building the world’s veterinary emergency company. We’re scaling quickly, but our mission remains simple: helping people and their pets when they need it most.

We’ve brought that same thinking to our people. At VEG, we find a way to say YES so our VEGgies are empowered to achieve great things, grow in unexpected ways, and find a place where they truly belong.

At VEGquarters (VQ), our headquarters team works across clinical, technology, recruiting, operations, finance, marketing, and more to give our hospitals and VEGgies everything they need to deliver an exceptional, not normal experience every day. VEG is a 2025 and 2026 certified Great Place to Work®.

 

THE OPPORTUNITY

The best Executive Assistants don’t just manage calendars. They create leverage and partners. 

As Executive Assistant to VEG’s President and Co-Founder, you’ll have a front-row seat to one of the fastest-growing customer facing businesses in the country. You’ll work alongside a founder, an exceptional leadership team, and a world-class Board as VEG continues to scale and redefine veterinary emergency care.

You’ll help ensure time, energy, and attention are focused on what matters most. You’ll create clarity, anticipate what’s next, solve problems before they become problems, and help turn a fast-moving stream of ideas and priorities into action.

This is a highly trusted role for someone who thrives in a fast-moving, founder-led environment. Priorities evolve. New information changes the plan. The right person doesn’t become attached to yesterday’s agenda—they adjust quickly, exercise thoughtful judgment, and help everyone around them move with clarity rather than chaos.

One day, you may be preparing for a Board meeting. The next, you may be coordinating hospital visits, supporting an executive search, solving a complex travel issue, or creating more space for the work that will have the greatest impact.

Because work and life naturally intersect in this type of partnership, you’ll also coordinate select personal priorities—including appointments, travel, and logistics—so everything runs smoothly.

If you’re looking for a traditional administrative role, this probably isn’t it. If you’re energized by solving problems, exercising judgment, moving quickly, and making a meaningful impact behind the scenes, and being with us for the long haul, we’d love to meet you.

 

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Own the President and Co-Founder’s calendar as a strategic tool, ensuring time reflects VEG’s most important priorities. Less is more. 
• Anticipate needs, prepare concise meeting briefs, and solve problems before they require attention.
• Manage complex scheduling, travel, and select personal appointments and logistics with exceptional attention to detail.
• Drive follow-through by tracking commitments, clarifying ownership, and closing important loops.
• Build trusted relationships with the Chief of Staff, Board, executive team, and leaders across VEG, representing the company with warmth and sound judgment.
• Improve systems, model VEG’s culture, and handle highly confidential business and personal information with discretion.

 

WHAT YOU NEED

• Experience supporting a founder, CEO, President, or senior executive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
• Exceptional judgment, strong anticipation, and the confidence to act independently and respectfully push back.
• Outstanding organization and attention to detail, with the ability to adapt quickly when priorities change.
• Clear, concise communication and the interpersonal instincts to build trust at every level.
• Professional maturity, discretion, and flexibility when important needs arise outside standard business hours.
• A low-ego, ownership-oriented approach and a genuine desire to help others succeed and make VEG better.
• Just a fun person to be around

 

WHO YOU ARE

You anticipate.

You see around corners, think several steps ahead, and solve problems before you’re asked. Your stories often begin with “I noticed…” rather than “I was told to…”

You exercise judgment.

You know what matters. You can distinguish between what is urgent, what is important, what can be handled independently, and what needs to be escalated.

You aren’t afraid to respectfully push back when there is a better path.

You own outcomes.

If something is yours, it gets done. You follow through, close loops, and take responsibility for the result—not just your part of the process.

You adapt.

Plans change. Priorities shift. New information emerges. You don’t become frustrated or defensive—you reset quickly, stay positive, and focus on what matters now.

 

WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT

We believe the best Executive Assistants create leverage.

They simplify complexity, create momentum, and make everyone around them more effective. They’re measured less by how many meetings they schedule and more by the impact they help create.

This is an opportunity to build a long-term partnership, earn significant trust, and play an important role in the continued growth of one of the most innovative companies in veterinary healthcare.

 

HOW WE INVEST IN YOU

• Competitive compensation, including base salary, equity and 401(k) match.
• Comprehensive health and wellness benefits that start on day one, including access to free therapy or counseling.
• Paid parental leave of up to 12 weeks at 100% of regular salary, along with inclusive fertility and family-building care for all types of families.
• Unlimited PTO to use for vacation or sick days—however you need it.
• A generous employee referral program, so our awesome people can bring in more awesome people.
• Casual office attire, the ability to bring your fur baby to work, cool VEG swag, a stocked fridge, and free lunches twice a week.
• A company laptop and monthly cell phone reimbursement.

 

BETTER TOGETHER: WHY IN-PERSON MATTERS AT VEG HQ 

This role is based at VEGquarters in White Plains and works in person alongside the President and Co-Founder.

Our hospitals thrive on in-person collaboration, and VQ is no different. Time together creates stronger relationships, faster decisions, more meaningful conversations, and better results. We prioritize being present because our values are best brought to life side by side.

We make getting here easy with free parking and a shuttle from the White Plains Metro-North station.

 

DEI

At VEG, diversity is not just a word—it's a strength that fuels innovation and kindness. Our mission is “Helping people and their pets when they need it most.” And we do that better when our VEGgies (employees) feel valued, respected, and empowered to bring their authentic selves to work.

That's why we're devoted to creating an environment that reflects the diverse communities we serve—where different perspectives are not only welcomed but celebrated.

We are focused on providing equitable opportunities for growth, promoting inclusive decision-making, and ensuring that everyone's perspective is considered. Saying yes to VEG means helping us build a culture where your unique experiences and background contribute to a shared vision: being the world’s veterinary emergency company.
