Launch Your Career with one of the Eastside's leading healthcare practices. Northwest Periodontics & Implants is a premier periodontal and dental implant specialty practice with offices in Issaquah and Redmond. We work closely with hundreds of dentists throughout the region and are known for exceptional patient care, advanced technology, and strong professional relationships.

We are seeking a Strategic Growth Partner to strengthen relationships, coordinate educational programs and events, and contribute directly to our practice's growth. This is not a traditional marketing position.

We look for a highly organized, technology‑savvy professional who enjoys building relationships, solving problems, creating systems, and helping a successful healthcare practice continue to grow. This is an ideal opportunity for a recent college graduate or early‑career professional who wants meaningful responsibility, direct mentorship from business owners, and an opportunity to develop skills in business development, relationship management, event planning, healthcare marketing, and operations.

• Build and maintain strong relationships with referring dentists and their teams.
• Visit dental offices throughout the Eastside to understand their needs and strengthen partnerships.
• Serve as a trusted liaison between referring offices and our doctors.
• Coordinate and manage continuing education programs, study clubs, doctor appreciation events, and community outreach activities.
• Organize event logistics including invitations, registrations, communications, venue coordination, and follow‑up.
• Prepare newsletters, presentations, marketing materials, and outreach communications.
• Track referral trends, office visits, outreach activities, and key performance metrics.
• Utilize technology, AI tools, CRM systems, spreadsheets, and automation platforms to improve efficiency and support growth initiatives.
• Collaborate directly with practice leadership to develop and execute growth strategies.
• Take ownership of projects and continuously look for opportunities to improve systems and processes.

• Friendly, professional, and confident interacting with others.
• Highly organized with exceptional attention to detail.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Self‑motivated and comfortable working independently.
• Curious, adaptable, and eager to learn.
• Comfortable learning and utilizing new technology and software.
• Excited about using AI tools and modern technology to work more effectively.
• Able to manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously.

We welcome applicants from a variety of educational backgrounds, including:

• Business Administration
• Marketing
• Communications
• Public Relations
• Healthcare Administration
• Hospitality Management
• Event Management
• Other related fields

Recent graduates are strongly encouraged to apply.

Leadership experience through student organizations, athletics, clubs, volunteer organizations, internships, or event planning is highly valued.

Experience with AI platforms such as ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini, or similar tools is a plus.

Experience in customer service, business development, sales, marketing, healthcare, or dentistry is preferred but not required.

Most entry‑level positions provide limited responsibility. This role offers the opportunity to work directly with business owners, build professional relationships, lead meaningful projects, coordinate high‑profile events, and develop skills that will benefit you throughout your career. Your ideas, initiative, and creativity will be valued from day one.

Please submit:

• Your resume
• A brief introduction telling us:
  • Why this opportunity interests you
  • What experiences have prepared you for this role
  • How you have used technology, AI tools, leadership experience, or event planning skills to solve problems or improve results

Optional but highly encouraged:
Record a 1–2 minute video introduction using Loom (or a similar platform) and include the link with your application.

In your video, tell us:

• Who you are
• Why you're interested in the position
• A project, leadership experience, or accomplishment you're proud of
• How you use technology or AI tools to improve your productivity

The video does not need to be professionally produced. We're simply interested in learning more about you and your communication style.

• We look forward to meeting talented, motivated individuals who are excited to learn, grow, and make a meaningful impact.
