Senior living operator managing 28,000 residents across continuing care communities
Erickson Senior Living operates a national network of continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) serving 28,000 seniors with 15,000 employees. The tech stack is enterprise-standard (Workday, UKG, Salesforce, Jira, Power BI, Oracle Analytics) — typical of large healthcare operators — but the hiring velocity and composition reveal operational strain: 397 roles posted in the last 30 days across operations and healthcare, with heavy junior hiring (364 of 613 active roles) and acute staffing gaps in security and nursing. Pain points (staffing shortages, scheduling inefficiencies, overtime reduction, food cost controls) map directly to the frontline scaling challenges of campus operations.
Notable leadership hires: Finance Director, Assistant Director Nursing, Executive Director, Director of Nursing, Assistant Director of Nursing
