Managing Clinical Director

At Tend, we do dentistry differently — without compromising on excellence or ambition. As a Managing Clinical Director, you'll do what you love most: deliver exceptional clinical care. But you'll also do something more — you'll shape the clinical culture, performance, and people across an entire market of Tend studios. This is a producing role. You'll carry an active schedule and hold a high clinical bar while simultaneously developing Lead Dentists and Associates, partnering with market operations leadership, and driving consistency across locations. It's the right role for a dentist who's equally energized by complex cases and by watching the clinicians around them get better. You'll report to Chief Dental Officer, Dr. Chris Salierno, and work across 4 studios in the Boston market, with a hybrid presence across locations based on business need. Compensation & Earning Potential Our compensation model is designed to reward high-quality clinical care, comprehensive treatment, and strong production—while providing consistency and transparency. All dentists receive a guaranteed daily rate and earn a tiered percentage of adjusted production, with: Market Lead Dentists: 32-40% of adjusted production, reflecting expanded clinical leadership, market oversight, and performance impact. Market Lead Dentists are eligible for a monthly market performance bonus tied to clinical quality, provider development, and studio KPIs across their full market portfolio.
