About the role
Stellar Senior Living is hiring an Executive Director for our La Sonora at Dove Mountain community in Tucson, Arizona. We need a leader who thrives on the energy of a strong team and a high-end community.
What You'll Own
Build the Team: You'll recruit, develop, and lead a high-performing community team from the ground up. You lead by example — setting the tone for culture, accountability, and care from day one.
Build Occupancy: Drive lease-up strategy and execution. You have a track record of reaching stabilized occupancy on time and on budget — and you know how to do it through marketing, relationships, and exceptional resident experience.
Build EBITDAR: You own the business. That means full P&L accountability, operational excellence across all departments, and fiscal discipline that keeps the community healthy in 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 the greater Tucson community, referral partners, and industry peers. You understand that occupancy is built on trust, and trust is built one relationship at a time.
What You Bring:
Proven experience leading senior living, mainly assisted living, with 150+ units.
Full operational command — from healthcare and compliance to customer service and finance
A track record of results: occupancy goals met, budgets managed, teams retained
Licensed Assisted Living Administrator (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:
$110,000 – $130,000 + Bonus Potential: Up to $40,000
Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
401(k) with company match
Unlimited PTO
Real advancement paths in a growing company

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
