Full Spectrum Search Group is a full-service healthcare recruiting agency specializing in post-acute leadership and healthcare administration. We are seeking an experienced Program Director for a growing hospice organization in the North Austin market.

This is a unique leadership opportunity that blends business development with operational oversight, making it an ideal next step for an experienced Director of Business Development, senior Hospice Liaison, or Executive Director looking to help build and grow a developing hospice program. The organization has established clinical support in place and is seeking an entrepreneurial leader who enjoys both driving census growth and helping shape day-to-day operations.

Why This Opportunity?

• Unique hybrid leadership role combining business development and operational leadership

• Opportunity to help build and grow a developing hospice program

• Strong clinical infrastructure and executive support already in place

• Clear pathway into Executive Director leadership as the program continues to expand

• High-impact position with significant visibility throughout the organization

• Competitive compensation package with performance incentives

Position Summary

The Program Director will serve as both the operational and business development leader for a developing hospice program. Approximately 75% of the role will focus on growing census through referral development and market expansion, while 25% will involve operational oversight, team coordination, and supporting branch performance.

This position is ideal for a relationship-driven healthcare leader who enjoys building markets, mentoring teams, and playing an active role in the growth of a hospice organization.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and execute strategic growth initiatives throughout the assigned market

• Build and maintain referral relationships with hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, physicians, and other healthcare partners

• Drive census growth while achieving admission and revenue objectives

• Represent the organization at networking events, community meetings, and industry functions

• Maintain accountability for business development metrics and operational performance

Qualifications

• Minimum of 3 years of leadership experience in hospice, home health, or post-acute healthcare

• Previous experience as a Director of Business Development, Hospice Liaison, Executive Director, Administrator, or similar leadership role preferred

• Demonstrated success driving referral growth and developing strategic relationships

• Strong understanding of hospice operations and post-acute healthcare markets

• Proven leadership, communication, and organizational skills

• Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to balance sales performance and operational responsibilities

• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with executive leadership

• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation required

Compensation

• Competitive base salary

• Performance-based incentive plan

• Comprehensive benefits package

• Significant opportunity for career advancement as the organization continues to grow

This position offers a rare opportunity to step into a true operational leadership role while continuing to leverage your business development expertise. If you're looking for the next step beyond a traditional Director of Business Development position—or you're an Executive Director who still enjoys driving growth—this role provides the chance to make a lasting impact while helping build a successful hospice program from the ground up.
