Stellar Senior Living is hiring an Executive Director to open our newest community, a ground-up build in Eagle, Idaho, in the Boise area, offering independent living, assisted living, and memory care. We need a leader who wants to build a community from day one: the team, the culture, and the resident experience. The role is expected to start in spring 2027, ahead of opening, and candidates willing to relocate to the Boise area are welcome to apply.
What You'll Own- Open the Community: Partner with Stellar's Resource Center on everything it takes to open the doors, from licensing and policies to budgets and opening-day readiness.
- Build the Team: Recruit, hire, and develop the founding team. You lead by example, setting the tone for culture, accountability, and care from the first hire.
- Lead the Lease-Up: Drive the pre-opening and lease-up sales and marketing strategy that fills the community, through marketing, relationships, and an exceptional resident experience.
- Own EBITDAR: You own the business. That means full P&L accountability, operational excellence across all departments, and fiscal discipline that keeps the community healthy for the long term.
- Build Culture: Foster an environment rooted in Stellar's values: care, compassion, and excellence. Residents, families, and team members should feel it the moment they walk through the door.
- Build Relationships: Connect with Eagle and the greater Boise area, referral partners, and industry peers. Occupancy is built on trust, and trust is built one relationship at a time.
What You Bring- Proven experience leading a senior living community, mainly assisted living
- New-build or lease-up experience (preferred)
- Full operational command, from healthcare and compliance to customer service and finance
- A track record of results: occupancy goals met, budgets managed, teams retained
- Holds, or can obtain before opening, an Idaho Residential Assisted Living Facility Administrator license (required)
- Bachelor's degree (required); Master's in Business or Healthcare Administration (preferred)
- The instincts of a leader who builds, not just maintains
What We Offer- Base Salary: $120,000 to $137,500 + Bonus Potential
- Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
- 401(k) with company match
- Unlimited PTO
- Real advancement paths in a growing company
Ready to Lead Something Extraordinary?If you've led a community and a team that deliver, we want to talk. Apply today and help us open Stellar's newest community in Eagle.
