Community Outreach Director - Assisted Living
About the role
If you are outgoing, a person who can follow up, and can influence, this role is for you. You will provide strategic support and vision to the community management teams while promoting a positive image to referral sources, residents, families, and guests to the community, ultimately driving census.
Not all senior living sales + marketing roles are created the same — we like to think we have something different and exceptional to offer. Want a sales + marketing role that really does matter? This does. You are selling a lifestyle, comfort and security, a home-like setting, and a community where our residents truly thrive. You will make that happen.
You would be part of the leadership team at our community, creating a personal brand as a senior living subject matter expert in your region.
