# Office Manager

> Riccobene Associates Family Dentistry · Cary, United States · Full-time · Posted 2026-10-13

**Workplace:** on_site

**Department:** Cary Family

## Description

**About the role**  
We are looking for an Office Manager who owns the whole practice, front office and clinical, and runs it in true partnership with the doctors. Your number one job is a full, productive schedule: every chair, every provider, every day. You will lead the team, own the results, and build an office that patients and team members want to come back to.

**What you will do**

_Drive a full and productive schedule_

-   Own the schedule for every provider: dentists, hygienists, and specialists
-   Schedule to daily production goals, not just to fill time slots
-   Review tomorrow’s and next week’s schedules daily, and fix gaps before they happen
-   Fill openings and cancellations the same day, and keep a working short-call list
-   Manage recare, confirmations, and unscheduled treatment so patients don’t fall off the books
-   Make sure patients are scheduled for their next visit before they leave the chair
-   Track schedule utilization, no-shows, and same-day treatment, and act on the trends

_Partner with the doctors_

-   Meet with your doctors regularly to align on goals, the schedule, and the team
-   Build schedules around how each doctor works best while holding to production goals
-   Bring the doctors the numbers, problems, and solutions, and make decisions together
-   Support the doctors’ clinical leadership so the clinical and business sides work as one

_Lead the whole team, front and clinical_

-   Lead, coach, and hold accountable every team member: patient coordinators, dental assistants, hygienists, and support staff
-   Recruit, interview, onboard, and train in partnership with HR
-   Manage staffing, time and attendance, and payroll approvals
-   Manage staffing call-outs to ensure productive team is available and ready to work.
-   Run morning huddles and team meetings that keep everyone focused on the day’s goals
-   Ensure clinical operations run smoothly: room turnover, sterilization flow, supplies, and staffing to the schedule

_Own the results_

-   Own production, collections, case acceptance, and new patient growth
-   Oversee treatment presentation and financial arrangements, and step in on complex cases
-   Manage accounts receivable, insurance follow-up, and over-the-counter collections
-   Resolve patient concerns before they become complaints
-   Ensure compliance with OSHA, HIPAA, and company policies
-   Control supply and operating costs

**What we need from you**

-   **Ownership of the schedule.** You treat an open chair as lost care and lost production, and you don’t go home until tomorrow is full.
-   **Doctor partnership.** You build trust with your doctors, communicate openly, and work through disagreements directly and respectfully.
-   **One team.** You lead front and clinical as a single team, with no “front versus back.”
-   **Reliability.** You are here, on time, and visible. Regular, predictable attendance is an essential function of this job, and your team takes its cue from you.
-   **Presence.** You lead from the floor, not from behind a closed door.
-   **A good attitude.** You stay steady and positive under pressure, and your team feels it.
-   **Accountability.** You hold yourself and others to the standard, fairly and consistently.
-   **Professional presentation.** You set the standard for professionalism in the office.

**Qualifications**

-   3+ years of dental office management experience
-   Experience leading both front office and clinical team members, including hiring, coaching, and corrective action
-   Proven results driving provider schedules, production, and collections
-   Experience working in close partnership with dentists
-   Strong knowledge of dental insurance, treatment planning, and accounts receivable
-   Experience with Denticon practice management software is a plus

**Physical requirements**  
The following are essential to this role and must be met with or without reasonable accommodation:

-   Stand, walk, and move throughout the office for much of the day
-   Sit at a workstation and use a computer and phone for extended periods
-   Speak and hear clearly to communicate with patients and team members in person and by phone
-   See clearly at close range to read screens, reports, and documents
-   Lift and carry office supplies up to \[15\] pounds
-   Maintain professional appearance and personal hygiene standards appropriate for close patient contact, including avoiding strong odors and fragrances
-   Work in a clinical setting with exposure to bodily fluids, dental materials, and low-level radiation, following all safety protocols
-   Travel occasionally for meetings and training

**Our hiring process**

-   Possible Short video interview you complete on your own time, then interviews with the Regional Manager, Director of Operations and CEO.
-   **We contact prior employers for references**, including questions about leadership, results, attendance, and dependability. Please be ready to provide at least three professional references, including a prior supervisor.
-   Offers are contingent on satisfactory reference and background checks

**What we offer**  
Competitive salary /medical, dental, vision / PTO / 401(k) / leadership development
