ShotVet has built a nationwide, accessible pet health infrastructure in one of the most resilient and underpenetrated sectors in America. We are transforming how preventive pet care is delivered by combining strong unit economics, operational precision, and mission-driven impact into a scalable, data-driven organization.
We are entering a pivotal stage of growth poised to grow toward $100 million. This phase requires deliberate design, disciplined execution, and strategic thinking. The next chapter demands financial leadership capable of architecting infrastructure that supports sustained, intelligent expansion.
We are hiring a Director of Finance and Strategy who wants to optimize our growth models, KPIs, and GMs, not simply manage reporting.
Director of Finance & Strategy
This is a senior leadership role reporting directly to the CEO in a flat, high-growth organization. There are few layers to manage and little distance from execution. You will be expected to build, analyze, decide, and then work directly with operations, business development, and recruiting to drive results.
You will strengthen and scale a finance function that already supports a proven, high-performing operating business. The work is hands-on. The standards are high. The pace is real.
This role blends financial architecture with operational ownership. You will design forecasting frameworks, sharpen capital discipline, and elevate reporting rigor while ensuring those insights translate into action across the company.
If you prefer directing from a distance, this role will feel uncomfortable.
If you want to shape a scaling enterprise, influence real decisions, and grow into enterprise-level leadership where everyone pulls their weight as the company scales, this is that opportunity.

Every leader operates hands-on, drives outcomes across teams without relying on hierarchy, and holds themselves to measurable standards. If you prefer directing through layers, waiting for consensus, or staying in your functional silo, this will not be a fit.
This is a fully in-person role based in Longwood, Florida. Proximity matters in our environment. Speed, accountability, and real-time decision-making are part of how we win. All interviews are conducted in person at our Longwood office.
We are seeking candidates who are already local or prepared to be local. This is not a remote role, and we are not considering applicants seeking remote work arrangements or international relocation sponsorship.
We move quickly, expect ownership, and reward impact. If that excites you, you will likely thrive here.
