The Sr Director, Partnerships owns the strategy, organization, and performance of HS1's dental channel partnership function. This role builds and leads the team, operating model, and go-to-market approach that turn the dental consultant community, key imaging and AI technology partners, and adjacent referral sources into a scalable, revenue-generating growth engine at the intersection of HS1's business development function. The Sr Director sets the multi-year channel strategy, builds and manages the team that executes it, and is accountable for the function's revenue, budget, and enterprise growth outcomes. This position owns three interconnected mandates: building and scaling independent dental private practice consultants into an active, professionally managed referral channel; identifying, onboarding, and managing a growing portfolio of lead referral and technology partners; and directing the structuring and negotiation of partnership agreements in collaboration with Strategy and Legal.   The Sr Director, Partnerships role requires both strategic ownership and hands-on people leadership. This role builds and manages a team, establishes the organizational structure and priorities for the channel function, and serves as the executive-level owner of the partnership function's financial performance. The Sr Director leverages deep knowledge of dental practice operations and industry decision-making processes to build and scale referral and partnership channels that contribute measurably to enterprise growth. Success in the role requires a combination of clinical understanding, commercial acumen, organizational and people leadership, and the ability to build teams and relationships that generate durable, trackable revenue results.

• Own and continuously evolve the overall channel partnership strategy for HS1’s dental business, setting the vision, priorities, and multi-year roadmap for how consultant, referral, and technology-partner channels drive enterprise growth

  • Build, lead, and develop the channel partnerships organization — including the Channel Manager, Channel Associate, Exec Director of Consultants, and Partnership Marketing Manager — setting structure, goals, and performance standards for the function.

  • Own the channel partnership function’s budget and revenue targets, and report to executive leadership on pipeline, revenue contribution, ROI, and enterprise growth outcomes.

  • Represent the channel partnerships function in cross-functional and executive forums, influencing strategy and investment decisions across Sales, Marketing, Product, Strategy, and Legal.

                         Dental Consultant Channel Development

• Identify, recruit, and formalize relationships with independent dental practice management consultants who work directly inside private practices.

  • Build a structured referral program (agreements, incentive/compensation structure, onboarding, and enablement materials) that makes it easy for consultants to actively recommend and introduce HS1 solutions to their clients, working in partnership with marketing.

  • Maintain a consistent cadence of engagement with the consultant network — training, product updates, co-marketing — so HS1 stays top-of-mind when consultants are advising practices on technology decisions.

  • Own consultant-sourced pipeline and revenue targets, and report to executive leadership on the health, growth, and ROI of the channel.

                         Channel & Lead Flow Management with Key Technology Partners

• Bring in new partners and oversee lead flow, referral routing, and joint go-to market execution for these partners.

  • Serve as the primary point of contact for partner operations — resolving lead-routing issues, aligning on reporting/attribution, and ensuring SLAs are met on both sides.

  • Own annual revenue and growth targets for the technology partner portfolio; build and maintain partner scorecards (lead volume, conversion, revenue contribution) and run regular business reviews with each partner.

  • Coordinate cross-functionally with Sales, Marketing, and Product to make sure partner-sourced leads are handled well and partner integrations continue to meet customer needs.

                         New Partnership Development & Contracting

• Work within the broader Business Development function to identify, evaluate, and pursue new partnership opportunities across imaging, AI, and adjacent dental technology categories.

  • Lead or co-lead commercial discussions with prospective partners, from initial scoping through terms, in partnership with BD leadership and Legal on contract structure.

  • Own the investment case and budget for new partnership initiatives (market opportunity, integration effort, revenue potential), securing executive approval and being accountable for return on investment.

  • Help define standard partnership frameworks (referral, reseller, integration) so new deals can move faster and more consistently.

What we are looking for: 

• Typically 12 or more years of increasing responsibility and complexity in terms of any applicable professional experience; 7 or more years of management experience

  • Direct, hands-on experience with the dental consultant ecosystem — you know who the influential independent consultants are, how they operate, and what motivates them to refer.

  • Existing familiarity with the dental landscape and how these platforms integrate into practice workflows and PMS ecosystems.

  • A demonstrated track record of building and managing channel or referral programs that produced measurable, trackable pipeline — not just relationship-building for its own sake.

  • Proven track record of building, leading, and scaling a team and/or function — including organizational design, hiring, and performance management — not solely individual relationship management.

  • Experience negotiating and structuring partnership agreements, and comfort working closely with Legal and Strategy leadership through deal cycles.

  • Strong data fluency — comfortable owning a lead-flow dashboard, partner scorecard, or pipeline report and using it to drive the conversation.

  • Excellent relationship-building and communication skills; equally credible in a private practice, on a call with a DSO executive, or in a contract negotiation.

  • Willingness to travel regularly to meet consultants, practices, and partners in the field.

  • Prior experience at a dental tech company in a partnerships, channel, or BD capacity, preferred.

  • Existing personal network among independent dental consultants and/or DSO decision-makers, preferred.

  • Experience working inside a practice management software (PMS) ecosystem and understanding how third-party integrations are evaluated and adopted, preferred.

  • Typically a Bachelor's Degree or global equivalent in related discipline.

What will set you apart: 

• Proven ability to lead, develop, and retain high-performing teams while driving organizational results.

  • Exceptional communication, presentation, and stakeholder management skills, including executive-level influence.

  • Strong strategic thinking, decision-making, and complex problem-solving capabilities.

  • Financial acumen with the ability to leverage business and market insights to improve performance and profitability.

  • Experience leading large-scale, complex initiatives involving strategic planning, resource allocation, budgeting, and execution.

  • Demonstrated success building partnerships, negotiating agreements, and managing key internal and external relationships.

  • Ability to navigate organizational complexity, influence outcomes, manage conflict, and lead through change.

  • Advanced business, technical, and industry expertise, with a Master's degree or equivalent experience.

TRAVEL / PHYSICAL DEMANDS:

• Typically, less than 25%. No special physical demands required

• This position will be working in a remote environment or office, utilizing typical office equipment, with travel required for client meetings, industry conferences, and prospect site visits as needed
