About the Role:
The Company is in search of an Executive Director to lead its nature-based retreat center, which is dedicated to self-discovery, healing, and awakening. The successful candidate will be deeply aligned with the organization's values and will work closely with the staff, board, and Founder-in-Residence to oversee the strategy, operations, team management, partnerships, marketing, and guest experience. This role requires a leader with a genuine resonance for the power of nature to heal and connect, a collaborative and inclusive leadership style, and a growth mindset. The Executive Director will be responsible for defining and executing a long-term vision, leading the team in a values-driven manner, and serving as the primary ambassador to the community and retreat facilitator network. Applicants for the Executive Director position at the company should have at least 7 years' of senior leadership experience in mission-driven organizations, with a strong preference for those with a background in nonprofit, hospitality, retreat, or wellness settings. The role demands a leader with a proven track record in budget management, financial performance, and team leadership. Experience in fundraising, particularly in philanthropic and earned income generation, is highly valued. The ideal candidate will have a background in contemplative or healing practices, existing relationships within the facilitator or wellness community, and a commitment to living and working in a residential, hands-on leadership role. The Executive Director will be expected to live on the property, fully integrated into the retreat operations, and to be present for the continuous, 24/7 nature of the work, including regular off-hours and weekend commitments.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
