Marketing & community outreach coordinator

We are a growing, community-focused Connecticut orthodontic practice — We already have community relationships, referral sources, and an external agency in place. We need an experienced marketing professional to own execution, follow-up, and measurable results across all four offices. This is not a front-desk role or a basic social-media posting job.
