Client Services Project Manager- Dental Industry

Five Lakes Dental Practice Solutions • Full-time • Remote (United States) • $65k - $70k / year • 3m ago

Dental insurance is complex, even for providers. At Five Lakes Dental Practice Solutions, we take that burden off their plates.

Due to an internal promotion, we’re hiring a Client Services Project Manager to serve as the link between clients and Account Managers, ensuring multi-phase projects stay on track. We’ll provide full training for this role, so success is less about deep dental insurance knowledge and more about strong organization, follow-through, and keeping projects moving. You’ll learn the industry details over time.

Account Managers own the client relationship, while the Project Manager drives execution. For services like insurance credentialing, PPO analysis, and contract negotiation, the PM becomes the day-to-day lead by managing timelines, coordinating resources, tracking progress, leading meetings, and ensuring accurate, on-time delivery. While the AM remains involved for strategy and escalations, the PM is the primary contact for active project work.

If you excel at keeping complex work moving and holding people accountable but don’t see yourself as a “traditional” PM, this role could be a great fit.

This fully remote role is typically 40 hours per week, with flexibility between 8:30 AM and 7:00 PM EST to support multiple time zones.

What you’ll do

As a Client Services Project Manager at Five Lakes, you’ll be the go-to person keeping client projects moving and everyone aligned. You’ll manage a portfolio of projects from kickoff through completion, partnering with clients and internal teams, maintaining timelines, solving problems, and improving both processes and the client experience.

Variety in your day will never be short but day-to-day you could expect the following:

Manage a portfolio of client projects from kickoff to completion including credentialing, PPO management and analysis, TIN changes, and contract negotiations
Serve as the primary point of contact for your clients, providing bi-weekly (or weekly) project status updates and leading kickoff and milestone meetings
Coordinate cross-functionally with Account Managers to ensure every project has what it needs to move forward (and speak up when it doesn't)
Track project activities, timelines, and deliverables in Zoho Projects
Communicate clearly and professionally via phone, email, and video with clients who range from office managers to executive leadership teams
Use Excel to organize data and support client-specific reporting needs

What you need to thrive in this role

1-3 years of demonstrated ability in managing multiple projects simultaneously, independently, and under shifting deadlines
Experience using project management or CRM software (Smartsheet, Asana, Monday.com, Salesforce, HubSpot, or similar)
Strong verbal communication skills and being comfortable leading client calls, having direct conversations, and keeping people accountable in a professional, relationship-first way
Proficiency in Microsoft Excel
Self-starter mindset- you own your work and your outcomes, and you don't wait to be told what to do
Adaptability- you're okay operating in environments where not every process is fully documented yet, and you see that as an opportunity rather than a problem

A Plus (But Not Required):

Background in healthcare, dental, insurance, or credentialing
Bachelor's degree in Project Management, Communications, or a related field
