Drive Occupancy & Growth Own occupancy goals of 95%+ and lead sales, marketing, and community outreach efforts. Partner closely with the Sales Director and Family Service Coordinator to hit monthly sales targets and keep momentum going. Manage the Business Build and operate within the annual community budget. Oversee billing, collections, vendor bids, and expense management. Manage staffing and scheduling to control labor costs and overtime.

Prior experience in senior housing, healthcare, or a related industry required. At least 2 years of experience managing both staff and a budget. A proven track record of integrity, sound judgment, and dependable follow-through. Excellent verbal and written communication, with strong problem-solving instincts. Comfort with technology, including social media and day-to-day computer use. Sharp attention to detail and unwavering discretion with confidential information. The flexibility to work evenings, weekends, or holidays as the community needs. A natural ability to build relationships — with your team, residents, families, and the broader community network. What We Offer The chance to lead a mission-driven community where your work directly improves residents' lives every day. A true leadership role with ownership over people, operations, and financial performance.
