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.

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
