About the Role
This is not a generic answering-service job — you are the front-door operator of a veterinary clinic’s revenue. Your job is to steady the room with your tone, qualify callers in seconds, and book appointments as a genuine service to the pet owner. You’ll own front-desk operations end to end: figuring out who’s calling, why they’re worried, and guiding them toward a clear next step, while managing the clinic’s calendar as your personal responsibility.

The mantra is simple: help every caller, control every conversation, and close every call with a clear next step.

Identify and respond to 12 life-threatening red flags for emergency triage
Run daily missed-call recovery, touching new leads within 20 minutes
Use Practice Management System (PMS), dialer, and SMS tools to manage client communication
