Dental Office Manager

Office Manager – Dental Practice
Oakland Premier Dental | Oakland, NJ

About Us
We’re a small, PPO and fee-for-service dental practice (no Medicaid or state insurance plans) that values great patient care and an efficient, modern office. We use remote insurance verification and AR management services, so our Office Manager can focus on leading the team, running the schedule, and taking care of our patients rather than spending the day on hold with insurance companies.

Job Summary
We’re looking for a highly organized, proactive Office Manager to run day-to-day operations and keep the office running smoothly. The right person is a go-getter who takes ownership, solves problems independently, and is comfortable using AI tools to work smarter. We’re willing to train candidates who already have dental coordinator or management experience but must have dental experience.

• Use AI tools to streamline communication, scheduling, and administrative tasks

Requirements

• Proven experience in office management, dental/medical office coordination, or a supervisory role

• Excellent customer service skills, with a warm, professional approach on the phone and in person
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
• Clear verbal and written communication
• Ability to juggle multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
