About The Client
Marie is a seasoned consultant working across multiple businesses, with a current focus on helping her husband establish and scale an innovative oral surgery practice. The couple has recently acquired two premium dental domains with high SEO traffic and a vision to build a network of lean, AI-enhanced dental clinics. This role is a rare opportunity to shape that vision from the ground up—and potentially extend your impact across multiple consulting projects led by Marie-Eve.

The Role

We're looking for a
Web Developer / AI-Enabled Digital Systems Lead
who thrives in lean, fast-paced environments and enjoys building both customer-facing and internal systems that are efficient, scalable, and AI-integrated.

You'll be both a builder and a strategic advisor—someone who can identify problems, recommend solutions, and execute autonomously.

• Website Redevelopment: Rebuild two high-traffic but outdated dental websites for improved UX, modern functionality, and conversion optimization.
• Form + Flow Optimization: Implement intelligent, logic-based forms that drive lead conversion and enhance user experience.
• AI-Driven Workflow Automation: Create AI-powered tools to automate dental quote generation and x-ray evaluation processes.

• Internal Tool Development: Build internal "agents" (e.g., evaluation bot, AI scribe) to reduce manual admin tasks and streamline clinic operations.

What We're Looking For

• Technical Skills:

• Full-stack web development experience (preferably with high-traffic websites)

• Strong knowledge of AI tools and APIs (OpenAI, LangChain, or similar)
• CRM integration experience (HubSpot a major plus)

• Proactive problem-solver and systems thinker

• Capable of working with limited supervision
• Consultative mindset—you offer solutions, not just implementation
• Comfortable in lean, entrepreneurial environments

Why This Role is Special

• Long-Term Growth: This isn't a one-off project. There's potential to lead digital and AI innovation across multiple clinics and consulting clients.
• High Impact: You'll play a key role in shaping the operational DNA of a new dental group—centered on smart systems, not bloated bureaucracy.
• Autonomy & Ownership: You'll have the freedom to own your work and shape your roadmap, while also being a key voice in business decisions.

Other Details

• Working Hours: Flexible, but some overlap with EST/Quebec time is preferred
• Commitment: Full-time only—no side projects or multi-client juggling
• Compensation: Open to candidates in the $2,000-$3,000 USD/month range depending on experience and fit
• Bonus: Referral opportunities may be available as part of Marie-Eve's consulting network
