We are a growing non-medical senior care agency committed to helping older adults and individuals receive dependable, respectful, and person-centered support in the setting they call home. Our mission is supported by caregivers, care coordinators, operational leaders, community partners, and referral professionals who share our commitment to improving the lives of the clients and families we serve. Delora Care is entering an exciting stage of growth. We are expanding our presence throughout Tennessee, Alabama, and Kentucky, with plans to enter additional states and U.S. markets as the company continues to grow. To support this expansion, we are building the leadership, referral partnerships, operational infrastructure, and scalable systems needed to serve more clients, support more families, create more employment opportunities, and establish a trusted presence in every community we enter. This is an opportunity to join Delora Care at a pivotal point in our growth and help shape what comes next. We are looking for an experienced, motivated, and entrepreneurial executive who is energized by developing new markets, building lasting professional relationships, creating sustainable revenue, and transforming growth opportunities into strong and successful regional operations. If you are a proven sales and business-development leader who wants the opportunity to build, lead, influence strategy, and make a measurable impact, we warmly invite you to explore this opportunity with Delora Care. THE OPPORTUNITY The Regional Vice President of Sales & Operations will lead the development of a major multi-state territory while helping Delora Care create a regional growth model that can be replicated in future markets. This is not a traditional desk-based leadership role. The successful candidate will be visible throughout the territory, actively meeting with referral sources, developing strategic partnerships, identifying market opportunities, representing Delora Care in the community, and supporting the operational foundation required for long-term growth. The person selected for this role must be comfortable working in a growing organization where initiative, accountability, adaptability, relationship development, and measurable results are essential. This individual will be expected to recognize opportunities, develop solutions, take ownership of regional performance, and work closely with the Chief Executive Officer and internal teams to move the business forward. POSITION OVERVIEW Delora Care is seeking a driven, sales-focused Regional Vice President of Sales & Operations to lead the expansion of our non-medical senior care services across Tennessee, Alabama, and Kentucky. The primary focus of this role is sales, business development, market expansion, client acquisition, referral development, and regional revenue growth. The position also includes a supporting layer of operational leadership to ensure that caregiver capacity, service quality, client satisfaction, compliance, and regional infrastructure keep pace with business growth. Reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer, the Regional Vice President will effectively lead the regional business, own the profit and loss for the assigned territory, and play a central role in the company’s long-term vision of expanding into additional U.S. markets. The Regional Vice President will be expected to develop and execute a comprehensive growth strategy for all three states while recognizing that each market may require a different approach. This includes evaluating local demographics, referral opportunities, community needs, competition, caregiver availability, service demand, and revenue potential. WHO WE SERVE Delora Care serves private-pay clients, Long-Term Care insurance policyholders, and VA benefit-eligible veterans. We do not bill Medicaid, Medicare, or other third-party payers. Therefore, this role is focused on direct client acquisition, community-based referral development, professional relationship building, and referral-source partnerships rather than payer contracting. The Regional Vice President must understand how to communicate the value of non-medical senior care to prospective clients, families, professional referral sources, and community partners. The individual must also be able to build trust with families who may be making important and time-sensitive care decisions.
