Job description

Location: Northeast Minneapolis, MN, 3 days in office

Reports to: Talent Manager

Collaborates with: Operations & Support, Recruiting, Onboarding Team, Account Managers, Market Managers

Schedule: Full-time, 3 days a week in Minneapolis office

Role Summary

The Talent Specialist is the account manager for Kwikly's professional side. You own activation, usage, and retention of dental professionals in your territory, and your performance is measured in shifts worked, active professional count, and fill rate.

This is not a passive relationship role. You are accountable for outcomes.

You get newly approved professionals onto their first shift. You drive repeat usage across your portfolio. You re-engage the disengaged before they go cold. And every day, you work to make sure open shifts get filled. Relationships are the tool, shifts worked is the scoreboard.

You'll be on the phone, in HubSpot, in the admin portal, and in the data every day. If you're motivated by a clear number you own and want to see your effort reflected directly in a metric that matters to the business, this role is for you.
