General Manager

General Manager

Aegis Living, the leader in Luxury Senior Living, is looking for innovative, independent-thinking General Managers to operate our high-end communities on the West Coast.

You may ask, “Why would I want to work in seniors housing?”  Here’s the answer . . .

Since we began in 1997, Aegis Living has recruited almost exclusively from top-tier hotel companies.  GMs from Auberge, Four Seasons, Grand Hyatt, Ritz Carleton and many others have joined our ranks - and they LOVE it here.  Every day they have opportunities to make a difference in people's lives.

These are some reasons why high-end hoteliers say they made the move to Aegis:

1.    Senior living is ‘recession resilient’.  A growing number of people require our services, and a downturn in the economy does not impact job security with Aegis.

2.    Aegis has been family-owned for 27 years.  Not only is the founder and CEO brilliant, he’s a very cool, sensitive guy.  He and his family are just good people.  So, you have only one owner to satisfy.

3.    Grow with the company without moving.  We’re a West Coast company – always have been, always will be.  So, if you’re happy in a geographic region or a community, we’re not going to move you.

4.    A great deal of autonomy.  Our GMs are the CEOs of their own, multimillion dollar enterprises.  Yes, we have policies and procedures, but we don’t micromanage.  You truly are the boss.

5.    Spend holidays with your family.  Yes, Aegis – like hotels – is open 24/7.  But, our GMs have control of when holidays are celebrated, and what managers will share the responsibility.

6.    We promote almost exclusively from within.  Knock our socks off and write your own ticket.  Our GMs have become VPs, CPO, COOs, Home Office discipline leaders. 

7.    You go from the transactional to the relational.  There is an incredibly deep level of meaning in working with our staff, residents, and families.  This is a high calling with noble purpose.

Time after time, I hear our General Managers (former luxury hoteliers) say that they never left hospitality.  Instead, they have joined the highest form of hospitality!

Our salaries are competitive with high-end hotel offerings.  We also have a custom bonus program that has no cap, and is limited only to your ability to drive GOP.  Generous benefits and PTO.

What’s required is someone that loves the work, our communities, our residents, and has a true passion for service.   We are a company that values a hands on and face to face leadership style.  

Before you think, "that's not for me", I'll tell you that this is a frequent reaction from high-end hoteliers when we first connect.  But, after exploring this, most are not only excited about joining Aegis, they are also passionate about it.  Please contact me.  Regardless of the outcome, I guarantee you’ll find the time well spent.
