A growing skilled nursing organization is seeking an experienced Regional Director of Operations to oversee a select group of skilled nursing facilities throughout Louisiana and help support the company's continued growth.

Candidates do not need to reside in Louisiana. This position offers flexibility in home base, but the Regional Director must be willing and able to travel regularly throughout Louisiana and maintain a strong presence within the facilities.

This is a hands-on regional leadership role for a proven multi-site operator who understands how to drive performance across multiple buildings while supporting Administrators, Directors of Nursing, and department leaders.

The Regional Director of Operations will be responsible for operational performance, census growth, financial results, regulatory readiness, leadership development, and overall execution across the assigned facilities.

• Help improve consistency and accountability across assigned facilities
• Support turnaround initiatives when a facility is underperforming
• Help establish operational systems and leadership practices that can scale as the company grows
