  • Lead and develop department directors and community teams.

  • Oversee operational performance, budgets, P&L, quality, compliance, and resident experience.

  • Lead team member and resident engagement initiatives.

  • Manage complex operational challenges and enterprise-wide projects.

  • Build the experience and leadership capabilities needed to become a successful Executive Director.

What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of progressive leadership experience in senior living.

  • Leadership experience with P&L responsibility, budgets, and multiple departments or teams.

  • Bachelor’s degree in business, healthcare, gerontology, hospitality, or related field; master’s preferred.

  • LNHA/Nursing Home Administrator experience strongly preferred.

  • Life Plan Community/CCRC experience highly preferred.

  • Willingness to travel extensively and accept temporary assignments across Lifespace communities.

  • Willingness to relocate for a permanent Executive Director opportunity.

Your Path to Executive Director

This role is designed for someone who is ready for more. You’ll gain exposure to multiple communities, markets, leadership teams, and operating environments while developing the enterprise-level experience needed to lead a complex senior living organization.

If you’re an LNHA or senior living leader ready to broaden your experience, take on challenging assignments, travel, relocate, and accelerate your path to Executive Director, we’d love to meet you.

Build your next chapter with Lifespace Communities and prepare to lead your own community.
