About the role

Eden Senior Care, founded in 2016, is a growing healthcare management company focused on managing and operating skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and assisted living communities across Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Alabama. The company uses outside merger and acquisition firms to negotiate acquisitions with sellers' counsel and to work through lender documents on purchases and refinancing.

Qualifications

• At least 5 years of experience as a merger and acquisition attorney.
• Excellent communication skills — the role centers on coordinating many parties.
• Project-manager mindset with the ability to run a long closing checklist to completion.
• Strong judgment and confidence to negotiate on Eden Senior Care's behalf, trade points strategically, and hold ground without being steamrolled.
• Motivated by a 40-hour workweek and schedule flexibility over top-of-market law firm compensation.
