Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Why is Riyadh-specific experience mandatory?

The Riyadh market for premium dental and aesthetic services has unique competitive dynamics, patient demographics, and regulatory enforcement. Local experience is critical for effective marketing, supplier negotiation, and operational management.

2. Can someone with only operations OR marketing experience apply?

No. The role explicitly requires proven experience in both domains. The clinic seeks one integrated leader to own the entire patient journey from first marketing touchpoint to clinical service delivery and follow-up.

3. What does “medical marketing” entail in the Saudi context?

It involves marketing healthcare services within strict ethical and legal guidelines set by the Saudi Ministry of Health. This includes digital marketing (social media, SEO), traditional advertising, branding, promotions, and community outreach—all while avoiding unsubstantiated claims and ensuring patient privacy.

4. What are the key performance indicators (KPIs) for this role?

KPIs will likely include patient volume, revenue targets, patient satisfaction scores (NPS), operational efficiency metrics (wait times, utilization), marketing ROI, and digital engagement metrics.
