Discover a Career with Jackson Dental Professionals

Assistant Director of Operations

Jackson Dental Professionals | Belle Fourche, SD

Jackson Dental is growing, and we are looking for a high-capacity leader to step into a key operational role within our organization.

This is not a traditional office manager position. This role is designed for someone who wants to grow into senior leadership and play a direct role in how a high-performing, clinically driven practice operates.

You do not need a dental background to apply.
You do need to be someone who can lead people, think in systems, and handle complexity with confidence.

Who This Role Is For

You may be a strong fit if you come from:

• Dental or clinical roles (hygienist, dental assistant, treatment coordinator) and are ready to grow beyond patient care
• Healthcare operations (medical, PT, vision, surgery centers) with experience managing teams and patient flow
• Practice management or office leadership in a fast-paced environment
• Retail or service leadership where you’ve led teams, owned performance metrics, and driven results

This role is ideal for someone who:

• Naturally identifies inefficiencies and wants to fix them
• Is comfortable leading and coaching others
• Can balance people, process, and performance
• Wants more responsibility and long-term growth

What You’ll Do

• Partner with the Director of Operations to lead and support daily practice operations
• Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, patient experience, and team performance
• Help implement systems that support clinical and operational success
• Track and interpret key metrics to guide decision-making
• Support team development through coaching, accountability, and communication
• Facilitate team meetings and contribute to a strong, aligned culture
• Collaborate with clinical and administrative leaders across the practice

What We’ll Teach You

You don’t need to come in knowing dentistry.

We will provide structured training so you can:

• Understand clinical workflows and procedures
• Learn how operations and clinical care work together
• Build confidence in making decisions that support both patients and the team

What Matters Most

• Proven leadership experience
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills
• Ability to navigate a fast-paced, high-accountability environment
• Ownership mindset and follow-through
• Willingness to learn and grow into a larger leadership role

Qualifications

• Previous leadership or management experience required
• Bachelor’s degree preferred, but not required with relevant experience
• Experience in healthcare, dental, or service-based industries is a plus

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary: $60,000–$100,000 based on experience and leadership capability
• Health insurance
• 401(k) with match
• Free dental care for employee, 75% off for family
• Paid holidays and PTO
• Continuing education and leadership development
• Full-time, no weekends
