Veterinary Technician / Team Lead

Team Lead – DMV Office
North American Veterinary Blood Bank (NAVBB)

About the Role

This position leads our team at the Manassas, VA (DMV area) office. You'll be the clinical team lead and operational presence on-site, splitting your time between hands-on phlebotomy work and running the team behind it — schedules, people, and the day-to-day details that will keep the office functioning.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead and manage a team currently of 3, including scheduling, workflow, and day-to-day supervision
• Perform jugular blood donations and other advanced phlebotomy work with canine donors
• Handle team member management — coaching, performance conversations, and building a strong, reliable team
• Own administrative responsibilities tied to running the office smoothly
• Conduct pre-donation health screenings to ensure donor safety and eligibility
• Oversee processing, labeling, and proper storage of blood products
• Run quality control checks to maintain safety and compliance standards
• Represent your team in leadership meetings and coordinate with other team leads across the organization

What You Need To Bring

• Real management or team leadership experience — you've hired, scheduled, coached, and held people accountable before
• Proven phlebotomy experience in a veterinary clinical or hospital setting
• Comfort handling administrative work: scheduling, documentation, reporting
• Comfort and confidence working with large, energetic dogs
• Meticulous attention to detail
• Ability to lift up to 60 lbs and stand for extended periods
• A genuine passion for animal welfare paired with the discipline to lead a team, not just enjoy the mission

What Makes This Role Different

✓ No overnights, weekends, or on-call emergencies

✓ You'll be deeply hands-on, not managing from behind a desk
✓ This role is for someone who wants the responsibility of leading people, not just someone who thinks the work sounds interesting
