Dandy is transforming the massive ($200B) but antiquated dental industry.

By building the operating system for every dental office in America, Dandy is empowering dentists with technology, innovation, and world-class support to achieve more for their practice, their people, and their patients.

About the Role (3pm-11pm shift)

In the role, you will manage a team of order entry & support specialists in a state of the art and digital-only facility in Lehi, Utah. You will be responsible for ensuring that orders are correctly intaken into our lab management software and updated as necessary per customer expectations and deadlines.

The production flow side of the role will oversee the department's workflows, equipment, team members, and quality. In this role, you will manage a team of order production team members (often called runners in dental labs) to ensure that orders are moving forward through the production floor at the highest quality standards per customer deadlines.

The shipping side of the role will oversee the department's workflows, equipment, team members, and quality. In this role, you will manage a team of shipping team members to ensure that orders are being processed for outbound shipment.
