Medical Director

Are you a confident, compassionate veterinarian ready to lead a dynamic team in one of Chicago’s most vibrant neighborhoods? Atlas is excited to be representing an opportunity with a thriving small animal practice looking for a full time Medical Director to guide its next chapter.

This isn’t just another leadership role. It’s a chance to shape the culture, elevate medical standards, and mentor a talented team inside a modern, Fear Free Certified facility equipped with everything you need to do your best work—digital and dental radiography, ultrasound, in-house labs, and streamlined electronic medical records. This hospital was built with both pets and people in mind, blending cutting-edge care with a calm, welcoming vibe.

You won’t be going it alone. You’ll work closely with a supportive Practice Manager and the regional leadership team to drive clinical excellence and build strong relationships. From refining protocols to supporting new doctors—you’ll be at the heart of it all. The support staff is truly top-tier: highly skilled, proactive, and fully empowered, allowing you to focus on what you do best.

There are no overnight shifts, no on-call. Just the freedom to lead, practice high-quality medicine, and enjoy work-life balance in the heart of Chicago, IL.

Previous leadership experience is a plus, but if you’re a veterinarian with at least 3 years of clinical experience, a passion for team development, and a forward-thinking mindset, you’ll fit right in!

This role offers a competitive base salary, monthly production bonuses with no negative accrual, and a Medical Director leadership bonus. You’ll also enjoy a generous benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision insurance; 401(k) with employer match; paid parental leave; ample PTO; and paid CE with dedicated time off. Signing bonus potential is on the table for the right candidate.

If you’re ready to make your mark, inspire an amazing team, and lead with purpose—we want to hear from you!
