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 seeking a dynamic, high-impact Executive Director to lead one of our premier senior living communities in beautiful Delray Beach, Florida.

 

With 100% Independent Living occupancy, a strong reputation, and an exciting redevelopment underway, this is an exceptional opportunity to lead a thriving community while shaping its next chapter of growth.

Our redevelopment will introduce 40 new residences, including:

• 24 new Assisted Living apartments
• 16 new Specialized Memory Care apartments

 

Why This Role Stands Out

• Premier Location: Lead a highly regarded senior living community in desirable Delray Beach, Florida.
• Exceptional Occupancy: Build on the success of a community achieving 100% Independent Living occupancy.
• Exciting Growth: Play a pivotal leadership role in a redevelopment adding 40 Assisted Living and Memory Care residences.
• High-Impact Leadership: Influence culture, resident experience, operational performance, and future growth.
• Executive Partnership: Collaborate with senior leadership across operations, sales, hospitality, and healthcare.
• Career Opportunity: Competitive compensation, bonus potential, and opportunities for advancement within a nationally recognized organization.

 

What You’ll Do

As Executive Director, you’ll provide strategic and operational leadership across the entire community, overseeing Independent Living, healthcare services, hospitality, dining, sales, financial performance, and team member engagement.

You will:

• Lead, inspire, and develop a high-performing leadership team committed to service excellence.
• Maintain exceptional Independent Living occupancy while supporting future growth and expansion.
• Provide operational leadership and strategic oversight as the community introduces new Assisted Living and Specialized Memory Care residences.
• Champion a hospitality-driven culture that delivers exceptional resident and family experiences.
• Partner with sales leadership to drive revenue, market positioning, and long-term occupancy success.
• Oversee financial performance, budgeting, operational metrics, and regulatory compliance.
• Build meaningful relationships with residents, families, team members, and community stakeholders.
• Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, engagement, and continuous improvement.
• Lead with visibility, empathy, energy, and a commitment to excellence.

 

What We’re Looking For

We’re seeking an accomplished senior living executive who brings the operational expertise, business acumen, and leadership presence to successfully lead a large, sophisticated Life Plan Community.

• Bachelor's degree required; Master's degree preferred.
• 7+ years of Executive Director/Administrator experience within a CCRC/Life Plan Community.
• Strong experience leading Independent Living operations, ideally within a Life Care (Type A) environment.
• Demonstrated success driving operational excellence, financial performance, resident satisfaction, and team engagement.
• Proven ability to partner with sales leadership to sustain high occupancy and drive revenue growth.
• Experience supporting community expansion, redevelopment, or new service offerings is highly desirable.
• A strong hospitality mindset with a passion for delivering exceptional resident experiences.
• A visible, engaging leadership style with the ability to build relationships, inspire teams, and hold leaders accountable.

This is more than an Executive Director opportunity. It’s a chance to lead a premier Life Plan Community at an exciting point in its evolution, building on exceptional Independent Living performance while expanding services to meet the evolving needs of residents.
