Director of Sales and Marketing

Lead growth. Shape the future. Make a difference that lasts.

For more than 78 years, Mennonite Village has served the Mid‑Willamette Valley as a not‑for‑profit Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) where residents are supported to live their best lives – guided by integrity, excellence, and respect across the full continuum of care.

We are now entering an exciting new chapter with a campus‑wide expansion, and we are seeking an experienced Director of Sales and Marketing to provide strategic leadership for marketing, communications, and census growth during this transformational period.

This is a career‑defining opportunity for a seasoned CCRC marketing leader who understands that growth in a nonprofit environment is built on trust, relationships, and mission – and who is energized by shaping what comes next for a large thriving community.

Choosing a retirement community or a compassionate place for a loved one to receive care is deeply personal. At Mennonite Village, marketing is essential to build that trust that decisions require.

The Director of Sales and Marketing ensures Mennonite Village remains a trusted, top‑of‑mind community for older adults and families throughout the Mid-Willamette Valley. Through strategic marketing and communications leadership, thoughtful storytelling, and strong referral partnerships, this role supports census growth, strengthens our mission, and helps guide the community through a period of expansion and long-term stewardship.
