Sr. Director, Surgeon Recruitment and Growth

Position Summary

The Senior Director, Surgeon Recruitment & Growth will lead the strategy and execution of surgeon workforce planning, recruitment, onboarding, and early-career growth across Allied OMS. This role is responsible for ensuring the organization has the right surgeon talent, in the right markets, at the right time to support the long-term growth of existing practices, de novo locations, and the broader Allied OMS network.

The Senior Director will partner closely with Operations and physician leadership to assess current and future surgeon capacity needs, develop market-specific workforce plans, and build a proactive pipeline of oral and maxillofacial surgeon talent. Rather than recruiting only against immediate openings, this leader will develop long-term relationships with residents, practicing surgeons, residency programs, and other strategic talent sources to anticipate and fill future needs.

In addition to workforce planning and recruitment, the Senior Director will own the surgeon candidate experience from initial engagement through contract execution and transition into the organization. The role will also play a key role in the first-year growth and integration of newly recruited surgeons, coordinating operational readiness, mentorship, referral development, brand building, and participation in the Allied OMS Launch Lab program.

This position reports directly to the SVP of Operations and works closely with physician leaders, Operations, Human Resources, Marketing, Business Development and other members of the leadership team.
