What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior HRIS Manager position at VEG ER for Pets?
ABOUT VEG
In 2014, VEG was born with a mission to help people and their pets when they need it most by challenging norms and fixing the ER experience. Since then, we've expanded rapidly, with hospitals nationwide open 24/7/365, and created an ER experience that focuses on what our pets and pet parents really need. We've done the same for our people (VEGgies), finding a way to say YES so they can feel empowered to achieve great things, grow in unexpected ways, and find a place where they truly belong.
We're rethinking emergency care from every angle—from how we run our hospitals to how we support the people working inside them. That's where our headquarters team comes in. Whether building technology to make our hospitals more efficient, recruiting and growing incredible VEGgies, or bringing our brand to life through marketing, our VQ (VEG Headquarters) team makes it all possible—ensuring our hospitals and people have everything they need to help pets and their families.
VEG is a 2025 certified Great Place to Work®.
THE JOB
At VEG, people are everything—and we're looking for a Senior Manager of HRIS to help build the systems that support them. You'll be responsible for overseeing the development, implementation, and management of our HRIS and working within our tech stack (think: Workday) and partner with a high-performing team to make sure our data is clean, secure, and super useful. From streamlining workflows to unlocking people insights, you'll help make life easier for every VEGgie. If you love connecting tech, people, and purpose—and want to build the future of HR at the world's veterinary emergency company—we'd love to meet you.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Our hospitals thrive on in-person collaboration, and VQ is no different. Time in the office sparks stronger connections, meaningful conversations, and better results—all bringing our core values to life. We prioritize being present because our values are best achieved side by side. Plus, we make getting here easy with free parking and a shuttle from the White Plains Metro-North station.

At VEG, diversity is a strength that fuels innovation and compassion. Our mission is "Helping people and their pets when they need it most"—and we do that best when VEGgies feel valued, respected, and empowered to bring their authentic selves to work. We're committed to building a culture that reflects the communities we serve, where different perspectives are celebrated, voices are heard, and everyone has equitable opportunities to grow. Saying yes to VEG means helping us become the world's veterinary emergency company, together.
