The successful candidate will help increase new-patient volume, strengthen local practice visibility, and ensure marketing investment is focused on the channels and activities that deliver the greatest return.

Create and implement local marketing plans tailored to individual practices and markets. Manage marketing budgets and optimize spending based on performance and return on investment. Oversee campaigns across relevant channels, including digital, paid media, search, social media, email, community outreach, and local partnerships. Establish clear performance metrics and reporting for patient leads, appointment conversions, acquisition costs, and marketing return. Work closely with practice leaders and operational teams to ensure marketing activity translates into scheduled and completed appointments. Identify opportunities to improve the patient journey from initial inquiry through appointment booking. Support the marketing needs of new locations, including launches, local awareness campaigns, and post-opening growth. Build scalable marketing processes, tools, and playbooks that can support significant year-over-year expansion. Manage external agencies, vendors, and internal resources as the marketing function grows. Stay close to campaign performance and make practical, data-driven adjustments quickly. What We’re Looking For Experience leading marketing, growth, or patient acquisition in a multi-location business. A strong track record of generating new customers or patients through measurable marketing programs. Hands-on experience managing marketing budgets and optimizing channel performance. Demonstrated ability to move from strategy to execution and deliver work directly. Experience with local marketing and location-based customer acquisition. Strong analytical skills and the ability to connect marketing activity to business results. Excellent communication and project management skills. Comfort working in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment with significant growth expectations. Willingness to be based in or around Los Angeles and work closely with practice and operational teams. Preferred Qualifications Experience in dental, healthcare, consumer services, or another multi-location environment. Experience supporting new-location openings or market expansion. Experience managing agencies, vendors, and cross-functional marketing resources. Familiarity with patient acquisition, appointment conversion, and healthcare marketing metrics. This is an opportunity to take ownership of marketing at an ambitious, rapidly growing dental organization and play a direct role in building the systems and programs that support its next phase of expansion.
