Description

Description About ProEdge Dental Water Labs: ProEdge Dental Water Labs is a team of selfless builders. By putting our focus on the success of customers, we've create a healthy, quickly-growing, and dynamic company. Our ~60 team members have taken on a significant challenge: transform compliance in the dental practice – often a distinct pain for our customers – into a culture of shared purpose for the safety of patients and staff. By keeping our promises and developing value-based solutions, we've created an emerging brand in dental. Because of that, at ProEdge “good work” is table stakes. What we’re building requires something rarer from its leaders: those who choose the harder path for the sake of the team, who continue to grow even when they’re already good, and who bring the kind of relentless pursuit of delivering concrete value to the customer, not just building a stronger resume. This is a place for low-ego, high-agency, problem-solvers who think deeply and execute to excellence. If you’re looking for a role where you can own meaningful problems, build with a great team, and transform an entire category through trust... keep reading. Director of Operations Opportunity: ProEdge is seeking a Director of Operations to scale our manufacturing and supply chain operations by architecting continuous improvement and systems thinking for predictable, repeatable, and efficient processes, all while furthering a team-first culture. This leader will own all core operations functions, including manufacturing, assembly, shipping, receiving, lab operations, inventory, and procurement. This is a senior leadership role in a fast-growing organization. You’ll own building systems for scale for both independent and enterprise customer models, innovating processes both new and current products, and ensuring operational efficiency under rising cost-to-serve realities. If you're an ambitious leader who consistently delivers results and pushes for operational excellence, yet leads with true humility, transparency, and collaboration... keep reading.

We’re a team that supports each other, including when those realities pop up, and offer overflowing flexibility. That said, being a senior leader at ProEdge means you’re one of the main keepers of our culture and alignment and that happens best when you’re here, shoulder to shoulder with your team, the bulk of the time. Remote leadership doesn’t deliver the same magic for us. We’re looking for someone who genuinely enjoys being part of an in-person leadership team and wants to help shape our culture in the every day.
