JOB SUMMARY

The Director, Physician Talent Acquisition and Relations accelerates practice growth and expands our clinical footprint by serving as the primary bridge between our platform and the physician community. By building trusted, high-touch relationships across residency programs, fellowship networks, and regional medical societies, this role drives top-tier physician acquisition well beyond traditional transactional recruiting. Additionally, by facilitating a concierge onboarding experience and maintaining open feedback channels with practice leadership, the role protects provider satisfaction and boosts long-term physician retention across our growing network.

Mission, Culture & Values

At Dane Street, we believe exceptional employee experiences create exceptional client experiences. Our culture is built on collaboration, continuous improvement, accountability, and care.

We care for our customers, we care for our employees, and we care for one another. Every team member plays an important role in creating an environment where people feel respected, supported, empowered to grow, and inspired to do meaningful work.

What You’ll Do

Strategic Growth

• Cultivate direct, high-touch relationships with residency directors, department chairs, fellowship programs, and prospective physician candidates across assigned regions to build a sustainable talent pipeline.
• Clearly articulate the platform’s unique value proposition—strong supplemental income opportunity, clinical autonomy, administrative support, and long-term career growth within a PE-backed ecosystem to prospective providers.
• Maintain and manage an active database of physician leads, keeping warm pipelines continuously engaged well in advance of immediate hiring needs.

Physician Engagement & Field Presence

• Attend block-time physician meetings, clinical administrative sessions, and partner summits to build rapport with existing providers and gain a deep understanding of practice dynamics.
• Lead representation at key regional and national medical specialty conferences, society meetings, and sponsored engagement events (e.g., physician dinners, CME sessions, networking happy hours).
• Act as the face of the platform in the clinical community to establish long-term, relationship-driven candidate pipelines.

Operational & Full-Cycle Recruitment Tasks

• Deliver a seamless, concierge recruitment experience by managing practice site visits, community tours, partner dinners, and contract discussions alongside practice leadership.
• Partner closely with practice operations and integration teams to execute smooth transitions and onboarding workflows for newly signed physicians.

Collaboration & Provider Retention

• Serve as an ongoing feedback loop between clinical providers and executive leadership to enhance provider satisfaction, mitigate burnout, and drive long-term retention.
• Work cross-functionally with practice leadership, clinical heads, and PE platform partners to align talent acquisition strategy with overall practice growth targets.

Compliance

• Ensure all provider recruitment, outreach, and contracting activities comply with healthcare regulatory standards, organizational policies, and PE platform governance guidelines.
• Maintain accurate and compliant records of candidate communications, site visits, and offer agreements within internal tracking systems.
