Executive Director

Agemark Senior Living is looking for a dynamic, hands-on Executive Director to lead the day-to-day operations of one of our new senior living communities in Omaha, Nebraska. This is a role for a servant leader who thrives on building strong teams, creating exceptional resident experiences, and running a financially healthy, well-managed community - all while upholding the highest standards of care, compliance, and culture.

What You'll Do

Lead Our People
  • Lead by example on company values, priorities, and objectives, and walk the community daily to stay connected to every department.
  • Hire, train, and supervise a successful team, and mentor department heads so they can effectively lead their own.
  • Drive staff growth through coaching, development plans, recognition, and effective communication.
  • Run daily stand-ups, weekly leadership meetings, and monthly staff and safety meetings.
  • Address performance issues and grievances fairly, and foster a safe, positive work environment for all associates.

Champion Our Residents
  • Partner with families, service providers, and staff to deliver personalized, consistent, and excellent care.
  • Help residents live with safety, dignity, and independence through strong emergency protocols and support systems.
  • Work alongside the Director of Nursing to guide families through care planning, problem resolution, and major decisions.
  • Measure satisfaction through surveys and regular one-on-ones, and champion Agemark's Life Enrichment programming - including joining at least one resident outing each month.

Drive Occupancy & Growth
  • Own occupancy goals of 95%+ and lead sales, marketing, and community outreach efforts.
  • Partner closely with the Sales Director and Family Service Coordinator to hit monthly sales targets and keep momentum going.

Manage the Business
  • Build and operate within the annual community budget.
  • Oversee billing, collections, vendor bids, and expense management.
  • Manage staffing and scheduling to control labor costs and overtime.
  • Set and track quarterly and annual goals, and keep pushing for continuous improvement.
What You Bring
  • A degree in healthcare, business, nursing, geriatrics, or a related field preferred.
  • Prior experience in senior housing, healthcare, or a related industry required.
  • At least 2 years of experience managing both staff and a budget.
  • A proven track record of integrity, sound judgment, and dependable follow-through.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication, with strong problem-solving instincts.
  • Comfort with technology, including social media and day-to-day computer use.
  • Sharp attention to detail and unwavering discretion with confidential information.
  • The flexibility to work evenings, weekends, or holidays as the community needs.
  • A natural ability to build relationships - with your team, residents, families, and the broader community network.
What We Offer
  • The chance to lead a mission-driven community where your work directly improves residents' lives every day.
  • A true leadership role with ownership over people, operations, and financial performance.
  • A collaborative culture backed by regional support, established systems, and Agemark's Life Enrichment programs.
  • Room to grow: set your own goals, drive innovation, and be recognized for results.
  • Competitive compensation and benefits (details shared during the interview process).
