In this key role, you’ll lead the performance and growth of business-to-business partnerships across a multi-territory region, with a focus on increasing veterinary hospital engagement, same-store sales, and high-quality lead generation.

Reporting to the VP of Veterinary Growth, you’ll collaborate closely with our Territory Partners (independent business consultants) and cross-functional teams to exceed ambitious growth targets in a rapidly scaling and ever-evolving market.

This is a high-impact role ideal for a leader who thrives in a fast-paced, field-based role and is energized by coaching, influencing without authority, and building lasting business relationships.

  • Conduct frequent in-field visits (60–70% travel) to develop, coach, and evaluate regional opportunities.
  • Monitor performance data to identify trends, adjust strategies, and optimize sales effectiveness.
  • Lead strategic planning for territory goals and partnerships to maximize regional performance.
  • Track success through key metrics including hospital engagement, same-store sales, partner experience, and claims efficiency.
  • Collaborate with marketing, operations, and training teams to launch effective campaigns and tools.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for Territory Partners, ensuring clear communication, timely information sharing, and actionable feedback.

Who You Are:

  • Strategic Leader: You set goals, manage performance, and inspire others to achieve results.
  • Data-Driven: Comfortable interpreting dashboards to identify trends and shape sales strategies.
  • Influential Coach: Adept at mentoring others without direct authority and driven by shared success.
  • Relationship-Oriented: Builds trust quickly and sustains long-term, value-based partnerships.
  • High-Energy Executor: Thrives in a fast-moving, field-based role with regular travel and autonomy.

What You Bring:

  • 5+ years in sales leadership, managing distributed teams or multi-region operations.
  • 5+ years of experience building B2B partnerships (veterinary industry preferred).
  • Proven track record of achieving or exceeding territory sales goals.
  • Familiarity with CRM systems (e.g., Dynamics), route planning tools (e.g., Portatour), and analytics platforms (e.g., Tableau).
  • Strong coaching and performance management experience.
  • Able to travel 70% across your assigned region.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience working with — or operating as, a small business owner or veterinary industry partner.
  • Familiarity with pet insurance or the veterinary ecosystem.
  • Passion for pets and alignment with Trupanion’ s vision, mission and values.

Compensation:

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
