  • Short-Term Incentive Plan: 20% of base salary potential, paid annually
  • Special 2026 Incentive: $125,000 at 100% achievement of the region's annual entrance fee goal, with additional earning potential for exceeding goal

For a sales leader who knows how to build teams and deliver results, this is an opportunity to make a significant impact and have your compensation reflect that success.

As Director, Regional Independent Living Sales, you'll provide strategic sales leadership across a portfolio of Lifespace communities. You'll partner closely with Executive Directors, Regional Operations leaders, Marketing, Finance, and our Senior Vice President of Sales to:

  • Develop and execute regional and community-specific strategies that drive occupancy, revenue, net move-ins and waitlist growth
  • Coach, mentor and develop Community Sales Directors and sales teams to consistently achieve performance goals
  • Strengthen sales fundamentals including speed-to-lead, pipeline management, inquiry management, tour quality, follow-up and closing effectiveness
  • Champion prospect-centered, relationship-based selling that uncovers emotional motivators, builds trust and helps prospects confidently move through the decision journey
  • Lead regular business reviews using CRM analytics, conversion metrics, forecasting and performance dashboards
  • Step into communities requiring additional leadership during transitions, occupancy recovery initiatives, redevelopment or expansion
  • Partner with Operations and Finance on pricing, inventory, forecasting and occupancy planning
  • Collaborate with Marketing to strengthen lead generation, referral development and market positioning
  • Identify performance gaps quickly and develop targeted coaching and performance improvement strategies
  • Build a strong leadership pipeline by identifying, developing and retaining exceptional sales talent
