Job Description:

Area Vice President of Operations – Personal Care Services (Connecticut)

Home Care | Growth-Focused | Sales-Driven Leadership Role

Are you a bold, hands-on leader who thrives on building, scaling, and growing a business from the ground up? Do you bring energy, sales acumen, and a true _roll-up-your-sleeves_ mindset to everything you do? Elara Caring is looking for a dynamic Area Vice President of Operations to lead and grow our Personal Care Services (PCS) business across Connecticut. This is not a desk job — this is a boots-on-the-ground leadership role for someone who wants to own market growth, drive revenue, and build a high-performing operation in a competitive landscape.

At Elara Caring, we believe the best care happens at home. Every day, our teams deliver compassionate, high-quality care to more than 60,000 patients nationwide, helping them live safely and independently where they’re most comfortable. Now, we’re investing heavily in Connecticut, and we’re looking for a leader who is excited to grow the PCS footprint, expand private pay and consumer-directed care, and build lasting community partnerships.

This role is ideal for a growth-minded operator with strong sales instincts — someone who knows how to open doors, build relationships, and convert opportunity into results.

What You’ll Do

+ Drive market growth across Connecticut with a strong focus on private pay and consumer-directed care

+ Serve as the face of Elara Caring Personal Care Services in the market, building strong relationships with referral partners, payers, and community leaders

+ Lead day-to-day operations while owning and executing the market growth strategy for PCS in Connecticut

+ Build, lead, and inspire high-performing clinical and operational teams

+ Partner closely with sales, recruitment, and clinical leadership to expand capacity and ensure coverage

+ Develop and execute market-specific growth initiatives that deliver measurable results

+ Balance strategic planning with hands-on, boots-on-the-ground execution

+ Drive performance across revenue, margin, utilization, and service delivery

+ Build and strengthen referral pipelines and community partnerships

+ Use data, accountability, and direct leadership to drive results

+ Ensure compliance with all regulatory, payer, and accreditation standards

+ Foster a culture of urgency, ownership, accountability, and excellence

Who We’re Looking For

+ 5+ years of experience in home care or Personal Care Services (private pay & consumer-directed care strongly preferred)

+ 5+ years of leadership experience managing teams and operations

+ Proven success growing a market or service line

+ Strong understanding of PCS regulations and reimbursement models

+ Sales-minded, relationship-driven, and community-focused

+ Hands-on leader who isn’t afraid to jump in and get things done

+ Entrepreneurial mindset with a passion for growth and innovation

Why Join Elara Caring

+ Be part of a national leader with strong resources and local autonomy

+ Competitive compensation package

+ Medical, dental, vision & 401(k) with employer match

+ Paid time off, holidays, and bereavement leave (including pet bereavement)

+ Tuition reimbursement and continued education at no cost

+ Fleet vehicles available per company policy

+ Real opportunity to build something meaningful and lasting
