Director of Enterprise Projects

Cedarhurst Senior Living is an experienced operator of independent living, assisted living and memory care communities across the Midwest, Mid-South, and Southeast. Cedarhurst Senior Living is part of the Dover Companies, a vertically integrated healthcare organization established in 2007 to develop, construct, acquire, own, and operate high-quality senior living communities. In addition to Cedarhurst Senior Living, the Dover Companies include Dover Development, Brahms Construction, Dover Capital, Dover Health, and Medicine Express.

Cedarhurst Senior Living and the Dover Companies are mission driven — everything we do is grounded in our higher purpose of caring for seniors. Our decision making is informed by our mission “to create communities where each person feels loved, valued, supported and able to live life to the fullest.” Each business unit and each team member have a unique ability and responsibility to impact the lives of seniors, and we take that responsibility very seriously.

We also embody an entrepreneurial spirit that has fueled our growth and continues to drive us forward.

The Director of Enterprise Projects, reporting directly to the President, leads Cedarhurst Senior Living’s highest-priority, cross-functional initiatives, with primary ownership of acquisitions, transitions, and new community developments. The Director is the central project leader from diligence and planning through opening, transition, stabilization, and post-project review, independently building the project plan, setting timelines and owners, identifying risk, driving decisions, and holding teams accountable to their committed deadlines.

Acquisitions and new developments will be a primary function of this role, though the Director may also lead enterprise-wide projects spanning multiple departments and senior leaders. It is a high-accountability, fast-paced leadership role for someone assertive, highly organized, independent, and decisive.
