Area Sales and Marketing Director

Responsibilities/Qualifications

The Area Sales & Marketing Director is a floating, multi-site leadership role supporting Regional Sales across Parallel Management Group's portfolio of senior living and home care communities. Acting as a Sales Director-at-large, this role travels between locations to provide hands-on sales and marketing leadership — covering communities with a vacant or newly filled Sales Director position, stabilizing underperforming markets, and coaching site-level teams. The ideal candidate is a proven senior living sales leader who can walk into an unfamiliar market, quickly build referral relationships, and drive census, occupancy, and revenue growth with minimal ramp-up time. 

 

Responsibilities:

• • Serve as interim, floating Sales Director for communities with a leadership vacancy, onboarding gap, or performance shortfall, running day-to-day sales operations until a permanent hire is onboarded and ramped.

• • Partner with Regional Sales leadership to identify underperforming communities and deploy targeted, on-site sales and marketing support.
  • Build and maintain referral relationships with hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, senior centers, physician offices, home health agencies, DME providers, discharge planners, and social services.
  • Meet with prospective residents and family members and guide them through the move-in and admissions process.
  • Review intakes and follow up promptly and consistently with all referral sources; maintain detailed records of all contacts.
  • Train, coach, and mentor site-level sales and marketing staff on referral development, CRM use, and sales best practices.
  • Standardize sales processes, KPIs, and reporting across communities to support consistent performance measurement.
  • Analyze occupancy, census, and referral funnel data by community to identify trends and recommend action plans.
  • Plan and coordinate public affairs and community outreach, including public relations, health fairs, and other events.
  • Develop and maintain marketing and communication materials in partnership with the corporate marketing team.
  • Maintain strong working knowledge of social media and digital marketing tools to support lead generation at each community.
  • Anticipate positive and negative market shifts and competitive pressures, adapting strategy accordingly.
  • Develop deep local market knowledge — demographics, competitors, and referral landscape — for each community supported.

Qualifications:

• • 5+ years of senior living, home health, or healthcare sales and marketing experience, including building and managing referral relationships. (Required)
  • 2+ years in a sales leadership or management role, ideally overseeing multiple locations or a sales team. (Required)
