About ChoZen Center for Regenerative Living

ChoZen Center for Regenerative Living (CCRL) is a nonprofit regenerative living center and bioregional hub located on 40 acres along Florida’s St. Sebastian River Preserve - one of the most biodiverse lagoon systems in North America.

We bring together changemakers, educators, artists, wellness practitioners, environmental leaders, and community builders to support ecological regeneration, biodiversity restoration, wellness, education, and resilient local economies.

What began as a sanctuary for healing and transformation has evolved into a growing movement centered around regeneration, hospitality, community, and conscious living.

About the Role

We are seeking an exceptional Executive Assistant to serve as the strategic right hand to the Executive Director in a fast-moving, multifaceted, mission-driven environment.

This is not a traditional administrative role. The ideal candidate is highly intelligent, proactive, emotionally intelligent, resourceful, and capable of operating with discretion, adaptability, and sound judgment across a wide range of responsibilities.

You will help manage the flow of the Executive Director’s day-to-day operations, communications, priorities, projects, and relationships while creating structure, clarity, and operational efficiency behind the scenes.

The environment is dynamic and constantly evolving. One hour may involve coordinating a board meeting or donor communication, while the next may involve refining operational systems, supporting retreat logistics, preparing executive briefings, managing high-level correspondence, solving operational issues in real time, or helping organize multiple moving parts across the organization.

The right candidate thrives in ambiguity, anticipates needs before they arise, communicates exceptionally well, and knows how to bring calm and order to complex environments
