Launch Your Leadership Career in Senior Living

Are you ready to step into leadership and build a career with real impact?

At Integrated Real Estate Group (IREG), our Manager in Training (MIT) Program is designed to develop the next generation of leaders in senior living.

This is more than a job - it’s a structured leadership pathway designed to prepare you to help manage and operate a senior living community.

You’ll gain hands-on experience, mentorship from experienced leaders, and exposure to the operational, financial, sales, people, and resident-facing sides of the business.

The goal is to build the skills and experience needed to grow into roles such as Executive Director, Business Office Manager, Operations Leader, or other community leadership opportunities.

About the Opportunity

As a Manager in Training, you’ll work alongside experienced community leaders while gaining firsthand exposure to what it takes to operate a successful senior living community.

You’ll learn how teams, residents, finances, sales, compliance, staffing, and daily operations all work together.

This isn’t a program where you’ll spend your time observing from the sidelines.

You’ll participate in real community operations, take ownership of projects, interact with residents and families, support department leaders, and develop the judgment and business understanding required to take on increasing leadership responsibility.

This role is ideal for an emerging professional who wants broad business exposure, hands-on leadership development, and a clear path for long-term career growth.

What You’ll Own

Through hands-on training and real-world experience, you will:

• Learn the day-to-day operations of a senior living community
• Work directly with the Executive Director and community leadership team
• Support leadership in staff management, scheduling, and team development
• Assist with resident experience, satisfaction, and family communication
• Gain exposure to budgeting, financial performance, resident billing, and operating results
• Learn business office functions including payroll, accounts payable, and administrative operations
• Understand and support compliance with state and regulatory requirements
• Partner with leadership on sales, tours, occupancy, and community growth initiatives
• Gain exposure to recruiting, onboarding, and employee administration
• Participate in community meetings, resident events, and operational initiatives
• Support Manager on Duty responsibilities as assigned
• Take ownership of projects that impact community performance
• Build leadership skills in communication, problem-solving, decision-making, and accountability

You won’t be sitting on the sidelines - you’ll be actively involved in running the business.

What Success Looks Like

• You actively seek opportunities to learn and take on responsibility
• You develop an understanding of how the major areas of a senior living community work together
• You build strong relationships with residents, families, employees, and leadership
• You demonstrate sound judgment, professionalism, and follow-through
• You become increasingly comfortable with financial and operational information
• You ask thoughtful questions and apply feedback quickly
• You identify problems and help develop solutions
• You demonstrate the leadership potential and business understanding needed for your next opportunity within IREG
