Director of Practice Development

New Jersey Dental Association, River Edge, NJ, United States


About Us

We are a growing multi-specialty dental group based in Bergen County, NJ, with practices spanning periodontics, general dentistry, and aesthetic medicine. Our team of board-certified specialists is dedicated to exceptional patient care — and we are now investing in building a strong referral network across Northern New Jersey and Rockland County, NY.

This is a newly created, high-impact role with significant earning potential and direct visibility to leadership.

The Opportunity

We are looking for our first Director of Practice Development — a relationship-focused professional who will be the face of our group to the general dentist and medical provider community. If you thrive meeting new people, love building genuine connections, and want a role where your income grows directly with your performance, this is for you.

What You Will Do

  • Build and maintain referral relationships with general dentists and primary care providers across Bergen, Passaic, Essex, and Morris counties in NJ and Rockland County, NY
  • Visit GP offices regularly to introduce our specialty services, deliver educational materials, and nurture ongoing relationships
  • Organize and host quarterly lunch-and-learn events at referring provider offices
  • Track all office visits, referral activity, and contact status in a CRM or tracking system
  • Report weekly to practice leadership on outreach activity, warm leads, and referrals received
  • Attend local dental study clubs, CE events, and networking opportunities to expand your reach
  • Collaborate with our team on GP-targeted marketing materials

Who You Are

  • Outgoing, personable, and confident — you are comfortable walking into a new office without an appointment
  • Self-motivated and independent — you manage your own calendar and stay productive without supervision
  • Highly organized — you track every contact, follow up consistently, and never let a warm lead go cold
  • Professional in appearance and communication — you represent us every single day
  • Comfortable with dental or medical terminology (we will train the right person)
  • Valid NJ driver's license and reliable vehicle — daily driving across Northern NJ is required
  • Background in dental assisting, dental coordination, pharma/medical device sales, or healthcare outreach is a strong plus

Compensation & Benefits

  • Base salary: $60,000
  • Performance incentive: 2% of production generated from new referring providers you establish
  • Total compensation potential: $80,000–$100,000+ based on performance
  • Mileage reimbursement at IRS rate
  • Marketing expense budget for office lunches, branded gifts, and outreach materials
  • Flexible schedule — you manage your own calendar

Compensation example: Establish 15 active referring GPs each sending 2 patients per month at an average case value of $3,500 — your 2% incentive adds approximately $25,200 on top of your $60,000 base.
