Director of Operations - Partnerships for Dentists
Multiple Locations | Travel Required | Full-Time $110,000-$120,000 Base Salary + Performance Bonus
About Us
Partnerships for Dentists is a growing Dental Support Organization (DSO) that partners with more than 40 dental practices across approximately 15 states. Our growth is driven through practice acquisitions rather than de novo startups, allowing each office to maintain its established culture, clinical autonomy, and unique identity. Many of our practices operate under a partnership model in which doctors retain partial ownership, creating strong alignment and long-term investment in the success of their practices. This approach preserves the feel and individuality of a private practice while providing the resources, support, and benefits of a larger organization. We are seeking a Director of Operations to provide strategic and operational leadership across six dental practices, helping drive growth, performance, and exceptional patient care.
