About The Position

The Patient Success Senior Manager (PSM) plays a critical role in driving patient retention, satisfaction, and lifetime value across the enterprise of Great Expressions Dental Centers (GEDC). This role bridges clinical, operational, training and education, and marketing teams to ensure every patient receives a seamless, personalized, and proactive care experience. The PSM will design systems and methodologies that operationalize our patient promise, including standardized SOPs and KPIs that are cascaded, monitored, and improved through every tier of the organization. With these systems and processes in place, the individual will be responsible for leading, executing, implementing, analyzing, reporting, and evaluating targeted patient experience improvement initiatives, while leading a team of outbound agents to facilitate engagement, customer service auditing, and leading continuous improvement of the patient journey touchpoints. The PSM will leverage data and technology to improve patient recall, treatment acceptance, and engagement—turning one-time visits into lifelong relationships. This can be a remote position; however, the ideal candidate will reside in the Eastern Time Zone (EST) and be located in a state where Great Expressions Dental Centers has a regional office. This will help ensure effective collaboration with our teams, alignment with business hours, and the ability to attend occasional in-person meetings or events as needed.
