About Us:

Torch Dental is a rapidly growing start-up whose mission is to improve the lives of healthcare providers by simplifying supply ordering, providing transparent pricing, and modernizing a previously outdated ordering process. Torch is targeting the $100+ billion office-based healthcare supply industry, starting with dental practices.

Your Contribution:

We are looking for a motivated Customer Support Specialist who will be at the forefront of ensuring customer satisfaction by providing exceptional support and assistance to Torch users.

This role will be a client-facing role largely spent interfacing directly with users from dental practices to understand and resolve issues within the expectations of our high-standard KPIs that measure efficiency and quality of customer interactions.

While you may not see it as a patient, dental practices are busier than ever and require more efficient ways to operate optimally. Torch helps them streamline their supplies and associated paperwork so they can have more resources to deliver better patient care. As Torch grows, one of our main priorities is making sure our customers see us as an essential part of their office operations with access to expert product support being a crucial factor in Torch’s value to them.
