Needletail is building the AI-powered, full-stack revenue cycle management (RCM) platform for U.S. dental practices and DSOs — replacing manual, error-prone billing work with automation backed by a human-in-the-loop safety net. We're a small, fast-moving team tackling a massive, underserved market.
The RoleBe the face of Needletail for our dental practice and DSO customers — from signing through onboarding and beyond. You'll own implementation, be the go-to person for day-to-day questions, and make sure customers are genuinely winning with Needletail, not just live on it.
We're looking for someone who has been inside dental offices — who knows how a front desk, treatment coordinator, and billing team actually operate, ideally with exposure to the revenue cycle (claims, EOBs, verification, collections, denials). That's what builds instant credibility with practice owners and office managers.
This is an early, high-visibility hire with a real path to lead our U.S. customer success function as we scale.
What you'll doOwn implementation for new customers — configuration, training, go-live
Build trusted relationships with office managers, practice owners, and DSO ops leaders
Be the primary point of contact post-launch; resolve issues fast, flag risk early
Feed dental-office and RCM realities back to our product team
Track customer health and drive adoption, renewals, and expansion
Represent Needletail at customer sites and industry conferences (occasional travel)
Wear multiple hats — this is a generalist role on a lean team
Experience working closely with dental practices (front office, practice management, billing/RCM, or a dental-focused vendor)
Real understanding of dental office operations: scheduling, patient flow, verification, billing, collections
Strong relationship-builder, self-directed, comfortable in a startup environment
Excellent written and verbal communication
Open to occasional travel
Authorized to work in the U.S.
Direct RCM experience (claims, EOBs, denials, predeterminations)
Familiarity with dental practice management software (CareStack, Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental)
Prior customer success, implementation, or account management experience in healthtech/dental-tech
Competitive, market-based salary
Remote flexibility, anywhere in the U.S.
Ground-floor opportunity with a clear path to lead U.S. customer success
Direct influence over both customer experience and product roadmap
Compensation: $50K to $80K.
