Job description

Shape the Future of Healthy Aging

At Otterbein SeniorLife, we believe aging should be filled with purpose, connection, wellness, and opportunity. We are seeking an innovative and passionate Director of Brain Health Strategy to lead efforts that support cognitive resilience and healthy aging across our communities and services.

Our path forward is informed by a growing body of scientific evidence demonstrating that cognitive decline is not an inevitable part of aging and that structured, multidomain lifestyle interventions can play a meaningful role in preventing cognitive decline, protecting brain health, and improving cognitive function. This role offers a unique opportunity to translate that science into practical, everyday strategies and programs that strengthen cognitive resilience, enhance quality of life, promote lifelong learning, encourage meaningful engagement, and support overall wellness. The Director of Brain Health Strategy will collaborate with leaders, partners, researchers, and community stakeholders to bring evidence-informed initiatives to life and advance a comprehensive, research-supported approach to brain health-positioning Otterbein as a leader in helping older adults preserve cognitive function and thrive throughout the aging journey.

What You'll Do

  • Lead the development and growth of brain health resilience and wellness initiatives across the organization.
  • Translate emerging research and best practices into meaningful programs and experiences.
  • Partner with interdisciplinary teams to implement, evaluate, and continually improve initiatives.
  • Foster collaboration with academic, healthcare, community, and philanthropic partners.
  • Establish measures of success and use data to evaluate outcomes and drive continuous improvement.
  • Support educational efforts that increase awareness of brain health and healthy aging.
  • Represent Otterbein through community engagement, partnerships, and professional networking opportunities.
  • Provide strategic guidance and updates to organizational leadership regarding program performance and opportunities.

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree in public health, health sciences, gerontology, healthcare administration, behavioral science, business, or a related field required; advanced degree preferred.
  • Significant experience leading complex programs, initiatives, or organizational projects.
  • Strong ability to translate research and innovative ideas into practical solutions.
  • Experience working across multiple stakeholders and disciplines to achieve shared goals.
  • Excellent communication, relationship-building, facilitation, and leadership skills.
  • Data-driven approach with the ability to measure outcomes and drive results.
  • Experience in senior living, healthcare, wellness, public health, or a related environment preferred.

Why Otterbein?

For more than a century, Otterbein has been committed to enriching life journeys through innovation, compassion, and service. As Director of Brain Health, you will have the opportunity to help shape programs that improve lives while contributing to an organization dedicated to redefining aging and wellness.
