Regional Training and Education Manager

Do you have a background as a dental technician and a genuine passion for turning complex dental workflows into education that sticks?Digital dentistry has already changed how labs work. The bigger shift is still ahead. AI-assisted design is compressing work that used to take hours into minutes. Digital dentures are moving from a niche workflow to a mainstream one. And the gap keeps widening between labs that have gone digital and labs that are getting the most out of it.Technology alone doesn't close that gap. Education does.3Shape is investing in our lab business, and we are looking for people who want an active role in shaping how labs work in the future.
