Lead a Premier Senior Living Community. Inspire Teams. Drive Excellence.

At Lifespace Communities, leadership is about more than operations, it’s about creating an extraordinary experience for residents, families, and team members every single day.

We’re looking for a dynamic, high-impact Executive Director who thrives in complex, service-driven environments and knows how to lead people, drive performance, build culture, and elevate resident experience. If you’re a strategic leader with a hospitality mindset and a passion for operational excellence, this is your opportunity to make a meaningful difference while leading a premier senior living community.

Build and mentor high-performing leadership teams

Competitive compensation + bonus potential

Opportunity to grow within a nationally recognized organization

What You’ll Do

As Executive Director, you’ll oversee the full operation of the community, leading teams across resident services, healthcare operations, hospitality, dining, sales, financial performance, and team engagement.

You will:

Lead and inspire a high-performing leadership team

Drive operational excellence and resident satisfaction

Partner with sales leadership to achieve occupancy and revenue goals

Oversee budgeting, financial performance, and operational metrics

Foster strong relationships with residents, families, and team members

Support team member growth, engagement, and retention

Lead with visibility, accountability, empathy, and energy

What We’re Looking For

We’re seeking a proven leader who can successfully lead large-scale operations while delivering exceptional service and building strong teams.

Bachelor’s degree required; Master’s preferred

7+ years Executive Director/Administrator experience within a CCRC/Life Plan Community

If you’re ready to lead with purpose, inspire teams, and drive operational excellence, we’d love to connect with you.
