Job description

The CEO-In-Training (CIT) role is intended to prepare proven leaders for an Executive Director position, overseeing and leading a Pennant affiliated company (owned by Pennant Group). The CIT Program is a full time, paid executive training program that runs approx. 6-12 weeks, depending on level of experience and industry knowledge. Upon demonstrating competency and core values, CITs are selected to lead a local company as an Executive Director with the support of their peers who are also leading their own Pennant-affiliated companies. CITs receive practical on-the-job training in an operational environment under the direct supervision of an experienced Executive Director/CEO. In preparation to become an Executive Director, CITs will be mentored by several proven leaders to gain a thorough understanding of our culture, operating models, systems and what it will take to be a successful leader and CEO of a Pennant-affiliated company. The CIT program will consist of hands-on training in all roles within an operation, shadowing clinicians to learn our clinical product, administrative staff to learn the business model, and independent study of regulations and specific curriculum focused on becoming an exceptional operator. In addition, CITs are expected to take on projects and real responsibilities at their operation of training and encouraged to identify opportunities and solutions as they master the fundamentals of our business. As a Leadership Development Company, Pennant recognizes its strongest operational leaders with a C-Level title. When an Executive Director builds an elite team which creates sustainable success, and when that leader demonstrates ownership of their operation, they are appointed by their cluster and peers as a Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
