Position: Chief Executive Officer

Chíyáqtel (formerly known as Tzeachten First Nation) is a proud affiliate of the Stó:lō Nation (People of the River) and member of the Ts’elxwéyeqw Tribe. The name Chíyáqtel means “Place of the Fish Weir”, honouring the ingenuity of their ancestors, who built fish weirs to provide for the community. Today, fishing and land stewardship remain central to Chíyáqtel life and culture.

Reporting directly to Chief and Council, the Chief Executive Officer is responsible for leading and implementing strategies that drive economic growth, foster business development, and create opportunities that enhance the financial sustainability and prosperity of the Ch’íyáqtel community. This role requires a strategic thinker with strong skills in planning, stakeholder engagement, and project management—particularly with a focus on land development and business analysis. All duties and responsibilities are carried out in alignment with Ch’íyáqtel policies, standards, and procedures. The ideal candidate is culturally sensitive, respectful of Indigenous cultures, and demonstrates a genuine openness to learning and honouring Ch’íyáqtel culture and protocols.
