About The Position

As the Transitions Specialist, you will play a critical role in integrating new communities into the Coastal Ridge portfolio while also providing operational leadership support across existing properties, when needed.

When transitions are not actively underway, you will deploy to properties across the portfolio to provide operational leadership and stability—supporting teams, filling temporary leadership gaps, and helping communities maintain strong operational and financial performance.
