About The Position

Dentalcorp is on a mission to deliver Frictionless Dentistry — enabled by clear priorities, disciplined execution, and the ability to consistently deliver and sustain results. The Project Manager, Strategy Execution (14-month contract) plays a key role in translating strategy into action by facilitating the delivery of high-impact initiatives across the organization. This role sits at the center of execution, bringing clarity, alignment, and momentum to a portfolio of cross-functional initiatives. The focus is to ensure there is a clear path to delivery — with defined ownership, timelines, and priorities — so teams can execute with confidence and deliver intended outcomes. You will partner closely with leaders and teams across the business to align stakeholders, clarify plans, and keep initiatives moving. You will surface risks early, remove barriers where possible, and ensure decisions translate into coordinated action. While you do not directly own delivery, you are accountable for enabling teams to perform by establishing structure, visibility, and follow-through. If you are energized by working across teams, bringing clarity to complexity, and enabling execution in a fast-paced environment — this role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

• Proven ability to lead initiatives by aligning stakeholders, clarifying plans, and maintaining momentum — especially when ownership spans multiple teams.

• Practical experience improving workflows or processes by identifying inefficiencies and helping teams implement simpler, more effective ways of working.
