Dental Sales + Partnership Manager
Slate Flosser · Spokane
Slate is looking for a highly motivated, relationship-driven Fractional Dental Sales & Professional Partnerships Manager to lead the growth of our dental professional program and dental wholesale channel.
This role will be responsible for building Slate's presence within dental practices while strengthening relationships with the dental professionals who recommend our products to their patients. The ideal candidate understands how to translate professional advocacy into commercial growth—building relationships with dentists, hygienists, dental practices, and industry partners that ultimately increase product recommendations, wholesale revenue, and brand credibility.
This is a hands-on fractional role. You'll own the strategy, pipeline, relationships, and sales activity needed to grow the channel while identifying new opportunities to establish Slate as the electric flosser dental professionals are most confident recommending to their patients.

- Identify opportunities to increase reorder frequency, average account value, and product adoption within existing accounts.
- Maintain visibility into the sales pipeline, forecasting, conversion rates, and account performance.
Dental Professional Lead Generation & Relationship Development
- Build and manage a consistent pipeline of dentists, hygienists, dental practices, and other high-value professional prospects.
- Develop relationships with members of Slate's existing Dental Professional Program and identify opportunities to deepen their engagement with the brand.
- Create a systematic approach to nurturing dental professional leads from initial introduction through product trial, recommendation, and wholesale adoption.
- Identify high-potential dental advocates who could become long-term Slate champions, educators, referral partners, or strategic accounts.
- Develop scalable outreach and follow-up processes that allow Slate to consistently grow its dental professional network.
Increase Professional Recommendation & Advocacy
- Develop strategies that make it easier and more compelling for dental professionals to recommend Slate to their patients.
- Understand the barriers preventing dentists and hygienists from recommending Slate and identify programs, tools, education, or resources that can increase recommendation.
- Partner with marketing to develop sales materials, professional education, sampling programs, clinical resources, and other tools that support dental professional adoption.
- Identify opportunities to turn existing professional relationships into stronger brand advocacy, referrals, testimonials, educational partnerships, and product recommendations.
- Establish measurable ways to understand how frequently and effectively Slate is being recommended within participating dental practices.
Strengthen Slate's Dental Professional Positioning
- Develop strategies that reinforce Slate's position as a leading dentist-recommended electric flosser brand.
- Identify partnerships, associations, conferences, dental groups, education opportunities, and other strategic channels that could expand Slate's professional credibility and reach.
- Bring insights from dental professionals back to the broader Slate team to inform product development, marketing, education, and commercial strategy.
