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.
