Small Door is membership-based veterinary care designed with human standards that is better for pets, pet parents, and veterinarians alike. We designed and delivered a reimagined veterinary experience via a membership that includes exceptional care, 24/7 telemedicine, and transparent pricing - delivered with modern hospitality in spaces designed by animal experts to be stress-free. We opened our flagship location in Manhattan's West Village in 2020 and have quickly expanded across the East Coast. Small Door now operates in New York City, Boston, and Washington DC.

📋 Description

• Drive our most complex, company-defining initiatives from end to end — coordinating across functions and workstreams (marketing, product, operations, people, finance, and systems), tracking progress against the roadmap, and serving as a central point of coordination across the business. • Act as a strategic thought partner to the CEO and senior leaders — driving the strategic planning cadence and translating high-level priorities into structured roadmaps, operating plans, and clear decision frameworks. • Take individual strategic projects from concept through delivery — proactively surfacing risks, dependencies, trade-offs, and resource needs before they become problems. • Go deep on operational and performance challenges across our practices — diagnosing root causes on the ground, then partnering directly with clinic and field teams to design and implement solutions that stick. • Build and deliver high-impact materials for the CEO, executive team, and board — synthesizing analysis into crisp recommendations and clear narratives that drive decisions. • Own value tracking and realization across key initiatives — partnering with finance to define KPIs, monitor progress, and hold workstreams accountable to committed outcomes. • Run point on solving our toughest strategic problems as they arise — sizing markets, evaluating opportunities, pressure-testing business cases, and bringing structured thinking to whatever is most important that quarter. • Proactively identify opportunities to improve and grow the business — from new service and membership offerings to operational efficiencies — building the case for pursuing them through customer and market research, competitive analysis, and analytics.

🎯 Requirements

• 6–10 years of experience in strategy, management consulting, or an operating/strategy role at a high-growth startup — ideally with exposure to multi-location, consumer, healthcare, or services businesses. • Experience leading complex organizational change — integrations, transformations, or other high-stakes, fast-moving programs — with a track record of owning execution rather than just advising. • Highly analytical, with advanced Excel skills and the ability to build models, dig into data, and turn it into clear, defensible recommendations — comfortable with P&L concepts, building business cases, and setting and tracking KPIs. • Highly organized, with the ability to coordinate across multiple initiatives at once without dropping balls. • Fluent with AI tools and a track record of using them to work faster and sharper — accelerating research and analysis, drafting and pressure-testing materials, and building lightweight workflows that scale your own output. • Outstanding communication and executive presence, with strong slide-making skills and the ability to build polished presentations and narratives that land with a CEO and board. • Self-starter who operates independently with limited structure while staying tightly coordinated with leadership — with a bias for action and a strong work ethic. • High EQ and a genuine curiosity about people and how teams work — able to read culture and dynamics, build trust quickly from frontline clinic staff to the executive team, and bring people along through change. • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.
