Country Co-Founder & GTM Lead - New Zealand

Country Founding Partner - Dental GTM | New Zealand | Equity-based, no salary

The opportunity

Oral Connect is building a dental CRM and patient-engagement platform to help practices turn enquiries into attended consultations, follow up treatment plans and maintain patient relationships. We are starting with the UK and building a repeatable delivery model before expanding. We are looking for a country founding partner who knows the local dental sector and wants to build a market with us.

Your market

Based in New Zealand, working remotely and developing local relationships. Start in Auckland or another hub where you have a credible network of advanced private dental clinics, small groups and suppliers. Build a controlled pilot cohort and referral route that can sustain positive contribution after local support and delivery costs. Identify one achievable metro/PMS segment, build a credible route to clinic owners and DSO operators, and validate the case for improving paid-lead follow-up without replacing the clinical system. This role is based in New Zealand, with remote working and local relationship development.

What you would build

Own local discovery, positioning, partner development and a qualified clinic pipeline. Turn agreed opportunities into paid pilots, support a clean sales-to-implementation handover, and track activation, adoption, retention and contribution. Bring customer insight back to central product leadership. Build a local team only when the economics and approved budget support it.

Autonomy with central support

Lead the local relationship strategy and execution within agreed decision rights. Work directly with the founder and central product, engineering and implementation team on demos, materials, delivery planning and escalation. We will agree pilot capacity and support coverage before commitments are made. No unlimited marketing budget, guaranteed integration or exclusive territory is promised.

Who this suits

A dental-sector commercial operator, practice-group leader, supplier/distributor professional or experienced dental growth founder with credible relationships with clinic owners and DSO decision makers. You can point to accounts you personally won or expanded, understand practice economics and can turn trust into adopted, paying workflows. SaaS commercial discipline, sound judgment and practical execution matter more than an impressive title.

Compensation and structure

This is a proposed entrepreneurial partnership in a separate country company, not an ownership stake in the Oral Connect group. No salary or guaranteed cash compensation is currently budgeted. The equity percentage will be negotiated according to your contribution, responsibilities and delivery. The company structure, grant, vesting and milestones will be agreed and documented before work begins. Equity is at risk, may be diluted and may have no realisable value. No future salary or guaranteed income is promised; any engagement must comply with local law.

An initial plan to agree together

Proposed first 30 days: validate one segment, interview 10 decision makers and map systems, alternatives and buying criteria. Proposed next phase: secure three qualified paid-pilot commitments only after central readiness approval; then prove adoption, retention and contribution. Targets and equity milestones will be negotiated, not assumed from this advert.

How to express interest

Send your CV or professional profile, two relevant dental-sector outcomes, an anonymised relationship map and a one-page outline of your first 90 days. Describe your clinic-owner and dental-group network, the local PMS landscape you know, and how you would improve paid-lead follow-up while coordinating support with the central team. Tell us your availability, existing commitments and any conflicts. We will discuss fit and proposed terms before any work starts. Please do not send confidential patient information or contact lists belonging to another organisation.
