Client Care Center Supervisor (Player-Coach) in Phoenix, Arizona at ArkVets

About ArkVets

ArkVets is a locally and family-owned group of three veterinary hospitals across Metro Phoenix. We provide urgent care, wellness care, chronic care, comfort care, same-day surgery, in-house diagnostics, healthcare memberships, and payment plans — all delivered with a fear-free, transparent approach to medicine.

Our Client Care Center is the first conversation a pet owner ever has with ArkVets. Every unbooked call is a pet that didn't get care. This team's job is to make sure worried pet parents get clear answers, honest guidance, and an appointment — quickly and without pressure.

We are hiring a Client Care Center Supervisor to lead and grow this team.

About the Role

This is a player-coach role. You will take inbound and outbound calls while managing the team that handles client inquiries for all three hospitals.

Your main goal is to help more pets get the care they need by improving:

• Inbound inquiry-to-appointment conversion
• Outbound conversation-to-appointment conversion
• Follow-up completion
• Appointment retention
• Call quality
• Team productivity

You will coach Client Care Coordinators through recorded call reviews, live feedback, roleplay, one-on-ones, and clear performance standards. You will also help build the systems that allow the team to grow beyond its current three-person structure.

Veterinary experience is helpful. Strong coaching and team management experience matters more.

Schedule and Hours

This is a full-time position at 40 hours per week. The Care Center operates from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Arizona time. The supervisor works a staggered schedule across the week to provide early, mid-day, and late coverage.

The expected weekly time split is:

Responsibility Weekly Hours

Inbound call coverage - 16

Outbound calls - 12

Coaching and management - 12

= Total of 40

The supervisor spends approximately 28 hours on calls and 12 hours on coaching and management. As the team grows, this split will rebalance toward coaching and management.

The 12 coaching and management hours include: recorded call review, representative one-on-ones, roleplay, scorecard review, coaching plans, hiring, training, and process improvement.

The supervisor takes calls during scheduled coverage blocks. The supervisor does not become the default solution for every open shift.

Each day includes one unpaid lunch.

Day Schedule

Monday: 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Tuesday:10 a.m. – 7 p.m.

Wednesday: 11 a.m. – 8 p.m.

Thursday: 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Friday: 10 a.m. – 7 p.m.

The final schedule may change based on team coverage and call volume.
