The mission of the New York Zen Center is to transform the culture of care throughout the continuum of life with compassion and wisdom – through the three pillars of education, Zen practice, and care. For more than a decade, we have perfected a model of care that acknowledges our own suffering as a way of easing the suffering of others.

HEAD OF GROWTH AND OPERATIONS

NYZC is looking for an enthusiastic strategist to lead our fundraising efforts, management as we scale through growth, and oversee our business operations. We are not just looking for a seasoned director of a non-profit. We are looking for an up-and-comer with a startup kind of mentality, that can help the Zen Center strengthen our operations and donor relationships to achieve ongoing financial sustainability.

To apply, please email your cover letter, resumé, and salary history to the Head of Growth and Operations Search via the Workable web site application. Position is based in Manhattan, open until filled.

testimonials

“I love and support NYZC because it is a clear statement of the primacy of human connection in the healing process. Contemplative care is about developing the inner discipline to be fully present to those we are trying to serve. Our patients know when we are there and when we are just going through the motions. Being there is what NYZC does. I cannot think of anything our healthcare system needs more.”

“The training I did with NYZC taught me something more valuable than anything in medical school—the impact of the present moment. My patient care mantra has become: place the patient at the center of the healing process.”

“As a clinician, I know that NYZC’s contemplative care training is the cutting edge of healthcare. It is critically important that those who work with the seriously ill receive training on how to recognize and to be with suffering. I know of no other organization that does so much to make this a reality.”

“New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care not only recognizes the aspects of the patient experience, but trains professionals to bring these dimensions into focus using contemplative approaches from the Buddhist tradition. Patients, families and other healthcare providers all benefit from their compassion and understanding.”
