Executive Director (RN)

Executive Director (RN) – Local Hospice Leadership (1:13 Ratio)

Most Directors spend 40% of their week in meetings and 60% of their time fixing staffing shortages. At Sonder, our 1:13 nurse ratio and 30-year RN veteran as the primary on-call support means your team is stable, your patients are cared for, and you can actually focus on leadership.

About the Role: Are you an RN leader tired of the "Corporate Machine"? At Sonder, we’ve eliminated the red tape to focus on what matters: the patient and the provider. We are a 5-Star Google-rated agency that maintains a 1:13 RN-to-patient ratio—the gold standard in Austin. We aren't looking for a paper-pusher; we are looking for a clinical architect to lead our growth.
