Executive Director Opportunity

The Avaline at River Oaks, a Claiborne Senior Living managed community, is seeking an experienced and driven Executive Director to lead and oversee the operations of our senior living community in Memphis, Tennessee.

This is more than an operations role — it is a leadership opportunity to shape culture, drive performance, and create an environment where residents thrive and team members grow.

• Partner directly with ownership and regional leadership
• Build a culture rooted in accountability, professionalism, and compassion
• Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits

What You'll Do

• Oversee all aspects of community operations, including resident care, financial performance, sales, and team development
• Drive occupancy growth and execute strategic plans to meet or exceed census goals
• Lead, mentor, and develop department leaders and team members
• Foster a positive, empowering, and performance-driven workplace culture
• Ensure compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations
• Manage budgets, expenses, and revenue to achieve financial targets
• Maintain strong relationships with residents, families, referral sources, and community partners
• Monitor key performance indicators and implement action plans for continuous improvement
• Serve as the primary liaison between the community and ownership

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Healthcare Administration, Business Administration, or related field
• Minimum 5 years of senior living or multi-department leadership experience
• Proven track record of operational and financial management success
• Strong understanding of regulatory compliance in senior living
• Demonstrated ability to build and retain high-performing teams
• Excellent communication, strategic thinking, and problem-solving skills
