· Maintain detailed records and report regularly to the Executive Director on pipeline activity, referral sources, and results

Marketing & Community Engagement

· Develop and execute a community-specific marketing plan that includes referral outreach, community involvement, and promotional campaigns

· Build and maintain strong relationships with hospitals, physicians, case managers, churches, senior centers, and other key referral sources

· Host and coordinate onsite events and educational sessions for prospects, families, and professionals

· Lead internal training for staff on how each department plays a role in the marketing and customer experience

· Represent Legacy at community events, networking functions, and industry gatherings to increase visibility and build goodwill

· Serve as the family’s main point of contact through the move-in process

· Provide and manage all paperwork, ensuring timely completion and compliance

· Coordinate with the Wellness Nurse and Resident Services Director to schedule assessments and prepare for move-in

· Ensure smooth transitions through open communication, reassurance, and follow-up after move-in

· Keep staff informed of new residents and ensure warm welcomes and successful onboarding

 

Who You Are

· A compassionate and strategic communicator who thrives on building relationships

· Experienced in sales—ideally in senior living, healthcare, hospitality, or real estate

· Organized, motivated, and able to manage a sales pipeline from inquiry to close

· Skilled in presentation, follow-up, and active listening

· Proficient with CRM tools and comfortable using data to guide decisions

· Able to work some evenings and weekends as needed for tours, events, or outreach
