KLOwen Ortho is a privately held, venture-backed technology company headquartered in North Texas. Founded in 2019, KLOwen provides a complete, fully custom orthodontic solution that enables orthodontists to treat patients with fewer visits, in less time, with greater precision and clinical outcomes. Our workflow begins with a digital image of the patient's teeth, simulated by KLOwen-trained technicians, using proprietary software in collaboration with the practice. Once an ideal smile is digitally designed, KLOwen 3D prints a custom indirect bonding tray that transfers precisely placed brackets to the patient's mouth-delivering a superior, technique-driven patient experience that demands precise, consistent chairside execution. RESPONSIBILITIES The Clinical Integration Specialist (CIS) is KLOwen's clinical field operator - the execution and adoption engine that operationalizes the RAE's business plan at the practice level. This is not an advisory role. The CIS is accountable for results: practices fully integrated, protocols embedded, staff proficient, and adoption sustained. Responsibilities for this role include, but are not limited to the following: Chairside Training & Clinical Execution • Deliver hands-on, protocol-specific clinical training directly, • Demonstrate KLOwen's indirect bonding protocols with precision and clinical authority, coaching staff in real time on technique, sequencing, materials handling, and patient management, • Train clinical staff to understand not just the steps of the protocol, but the clinical rationale - the 'why' behind precision placement, bonding technique, and quality standards, • Certify practice staff to competency benchmarks, ensuring that independence is earned and documented before the hands-on training relationship transitions, • Coordinate & deploy Clinical Trainers as regional volume and account demand grow - extending capacity without diluting the quality of practice experience, • Brief trainers thoroughly before each engagement: integration stage, practice culture, staff skill profile, protocol focus areas, & any known sensitivities or risks, • Own the end-to-end integration journey for each assigned account - from go-live activation through full protocol adoption and long-term performance sustainability, • Translate the RAE's account strategy & business plan into a structured, milestone-driven clinical integration plan with clear timelines, resource allocation, & success criteria, • Execute on-site & virtual practice engagements with consulting-grade preparation: pre-visit diagnosis, structured agenda, documented outcomes, & defined next steps, • Partner directly with RAE as a co-owner of account health - bringing clinical execution authority to the commercial partnership, • Participate actively in account planning, reviews, & at-risk discussions - contributing clinical adoption data, practice insights, & intervention recommendations that sharpen the RAE's strategy, • Operate as a trusted clinical advisor to orthodontists, office managers, & lead assistants - earning influence through expertise, reliability, & demonstrated results, • Lead change at the practice level: diagnose behavioral, cultural, & structural barriers to adoption & design sequenced interventions that produce durable habit change, • Maintain data-driven account profiles for all assigned practices, including adoption milestones, utilization trends, trainer performance, & churn risk indicators, • Use adoption metrics, CSAT signals, & clinical outcome data to prioritize interventions & allocate trainer resources across the portfolio, • Serve as a steward of KLOwen's clinical protocols - ensuring every practice engagement, trainer deployment, & integration milestone upholds the precision & quality standards the patient experience demands, • Contribute to the development & refinement of clinical training materials, integration frameworks, & best-practice documentation - translating field learning into scalable resources, • Collaborate with internal clinical, product, & operations teams to surface practice-level feedback that continuously improves KLOwen's protocols, tools, & enablement approach QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE • 5+ years of experience in a clinical, field-consulting, or practice-facing healthcare role - with demonstrated ownership of outcomes, • Proven experience leading or coordinating others in a clinical or training capacity - with evidence of team performance improvement under their oversight, • Deep understanding of orthodontic clinical workflows, preferably including direct chairside or assisting experience, • Demonstrated ability to drive sustained behavior change at the practice level -
