Executive Director (Assisted Living) – The "Anti-Corporate" Turnaround

<p><strong>Executive Director (Assisted Living) – The "Anti-Corporate" Turnaround </strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>The Story:</strong> Most Executive Director roles today are 80% spreadsheets and 20% leadership. You are stuck behind a desk, submitting tickets for approval that take three weeks to process.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>This role is different.</strong> We are partnering with a <strong>privately-held national operator</strong> to find a leader for a 60-unit Assisted Living & Memory Care community in Southeast Arizona. The company recently took over operations, invested in new interiors (flooring, paint, upgrades), and stabilized the clinical team.</p><p><br></p><p>Now, they need a <strong>Captain.</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Why You Want This Role:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>No Red Tape:</strong> This organization operates with a "flat" structure. You have direct access to National Directors and the President. Need to spend money to fix a problem? You don’t have to go through 5 layers of bureaucracy to get a "Yes".</li><li><strong>The "Dream" Clinical Partner:</strong> You are inheriting a Wellness Director who was promoted from within and is described as the "strongest" leader in the building. You won't be fixing clinical chaos; you’ll be driving culture.</li><li><strong>Relocation Made Easy:</strong> We offer a <strong>Sign-On Bonus</strong> (up to $15k) and can provide <strong>Temporary Housing</strong> in a model apartment for up to 6 months while you find your new home.</li><li><strong>Get Out of the Office:</strong> We are allergic to "Desk Jockeys". If your leadership style is sending emails with the door closed, this isn't for you. We need a "Walk-Around ED" who pours coffee for residents and checks in on caregivers daily.</li><li><strong>Drive the "Oasis" Culture:</strong> This is a unique market. We need a leader who wants to plant roots here and build a community that feels like a family, not an old-school facility.</li><li><strong>Occupancy Growth:</strong> You have a strong sales partner; your job is to drive the culture that makes people stay, pushing us toward high occupancy.</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>The Requirements:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>MUST HAVE:</strong> Active <strong>Arizona Assisted Living Manager License</strong>. (Due to state regulations, we cannot accept out-of-state transfers unless you already hold the AZ credential ).</li><li><strong>Financial Discipline:</strong> Experience managing NOI without sacrificing care.</li></ul><p><br></p><p>To learn more about our organization please visit us at www.westportone.com</p><p> </p><p>To apply for this position, submit your resume by choosing one of the following:</p><ul><li>***CLICKING “APPLY NOW” ON THIS PAGE*** (PREFERRED) </li><li>Email your resume in WORD format to mollie@westportone.com.
