Praxis Management Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Praxis began in 2011 with a desire to support and equip Christian entrepreneurs and has grown steadily into a 25+ person, NY-centric team advancing the redemptive quests of founders, funders, and innovators motivated by their faith to address the major issues of our time. As a $12M+/year nonprofit with ambitious growth plans, we're expanding our venture-building work globally, organizing around the major issues of our time, and building media and more to activate the redemptive potential of Christians around the world. We see our team as the first carriers of the mission, building an organization that is great to work at, excellent in its craft, and redemptive in its finances as well as its programs.

Our work operates across several interconnected areas: our Accelerator programs identify and form the most exceptional redemptive entrepreneurs in the US, Africa, and Asia-Pacific through intensive cohort experiences and long-term community; our Regional Gatherings bring together the top founders, funders, builders, thinkers, and creatives in a region to awaken their redemptive imagination; and our local ecosystems work trains and develops city ecosystem builders across 120 cities to host Praxis experiences, including a new Praxis Course, Redemptive Imagination Tables, and three-day Labs. Underlying all of our work is a conviction that human flourishing at scale is built through dense networks of formative friendships aimed at a common vision, and that conviction animates our Global Venture Building Ecosystem (GVBE) strategy. The GVBE team is responsible for building and sustaining that worldwide network of global, regional, and local redemptive entrepreneurship ecosystems. This is the team and the strategy you would be joining.

Praxis has spent years building a global network of city ecosystem builders, people who carry a vision for redemptive entrepreneurship in their local context and have been trained to run Praxis experiences in their communities. That network now spans nearly 120 cities across multiple continents, and in 2026 we are moving from training ecosystem builders to actively supporting the cultivation of the ecosystems they are in, assessing where each city is, resourcing them appropriately, and broadening access to our ecosystem building suite so that more people in more cities can begin hosting Praxis experiences in their communities.

The Manager, Local Ecosystems is based at Praxis' headquarters in New York City and reports to the Senior Director of Global Venture Ecosystems. This role helps build and manage the systems, communications, community management, and program execution that support city ecosystem builders around the world, from the moment they're recruited and trained through their ongoing development as builders of local redemptive ecosystems.

This is a role that requires both operational precision and genuine warmth. The person in this seat will be a consistent point of contact for a global network of ecosystem builders. They will manage the infrastructure that serves them, write the communications that keep them connected, support the training experiences that form them, and track the data that helps Praxis understand where to invest next. They will work closely with senior team members on the project management and execution of deeper city investments, ensuring that the most strategic relationships are well-supported even when the relationship itself is held by others.

We're looking for someone who is an operator at heart but genuinely loves community, someone who finds meaning in building the systems that make other people's work possible, and who brings warmth and care to every touchpoint with the ecosystem builders they serve.

We should note that this role requires someone with a great attitude. We're looking for someone who brings steadiness and warmth, especially when managing a high volume of relationships and moving parts simultaneously.

At the heart of this role is a responsibility that is equal parts relational and operational: understanding where each builder in Praxis' network actually is, and ensuring the right support reaches the right builders at the right time. Praxis' network spans nearly 100 cities globally, and the work of developing those ecosystems requires a clear, continuously updated picture of each ecosystem's health, activity, and trajectory.

• Own and maintain the City Ecosystem Airtable, the master record of every ecosystem builder in Praxis' network, including ecosystem health assessments, ecosystem builder profiles, activity history, and product engagement
• Lead discovery outreach to Praxis's existing network of trained ecosystem builders, building templates, tracking responses, and synthesizing qualitative notes into clean, usable records for the broader team
• Track ecosystem builder progression over time, including their engagement with the Praxis product suite, surfacing patterns and trends that inform team strategy
• Track and support the development of local partnership frameworks in key regions, including assessing partner readiness, documenting partnership terms and expectations, and supporting senior team members in managing active partnership relationships.
• Support the ongoing development and refinement of city readiness criteria, including the benchmarks that determine when a city or partner is ready for deeper investment, an accelerator launch, or a change in tiering status.
• Build and maintain the Airtable infrastructure that powers the city pipeline, ensuring data is clean, consistent, and visible across the team
• Coordinate the project management of ongoing city ecosystem support, supporting senior team members with scheduling, documentation, follow-up tracking, and progress visibility across key relationships in the network
• Monitor engagement signals across the network, including event activity, comms responsiveness, and ecosystem builder outreach, and proactively flag what may need additional attention or intervention

Praxis' ecosystem builder training experiences are among the most formative things we offer, and the quality of those experiences depends on end-to-end operational excellence. This role owns the full lifecycle of training delivery: from recruiting the right cohort, to designing a logistically excellent experience, to following up in ways that set ecosystem builders up for success in their cities.

• Own end-to-end operational planning and execution for ecosystem builder training experiences, working closely with the global events team to ensure every logistical detail is handled with excellence
• Manage the recruiting pipeline for training cohorts, including broadening awareness of training opportunities, managing communications, tracking funnel progress, and ensuring strong participation across each cohort. This includes proactive outreach in cities and regions where Praxis currently lacks ecosystem representation, working to expand the network's geographic breadth over time.
• Support the development and iteration of training curriculum that reflects Praxis's foundational principles, including decisions around modular vs. intensive delivery formats, in coordination with senior team members.
• Track and support the development of local partnership frameworks in key regions, including assessing partner readiness, documenting partnership terms and expectations, and supporting senior team members in managing active partnership relationships.
• Draft and send all training-related communications, from initial outreach and acceptance through pre-training logistics, onboarding materials, and post-training follow-up
• Design and maintain the support infrastructure that follows training, ensuring ecosystem builders leave with what they need to activate their cities and remain connected to Praxis in the months that follow
• Develop and iterate on training playbooks, run-of-show documents, and operational checklists that allow the experience to be delivered consistently and at a growing scale
• Coordinate with the global events team on venue, logistics, and production, serving as the primary operational point of contact for training experiences within the broader events calendar

Between training events and gatherings, this role is Praxis' consistent presence for city ecosystem builders. The health of the network depends not just on the quality of the experiences Praxis runs, but on the quality of the ongoing relationship, including the quarterly calls, the newsletters, the check-ins, and the responsive support that makes builders feel seen, equipped, and connected.

• Own the full rhythm of ongoing community engagement across the network, including quarterly check-in calls, newsletters, and other touchpoints that keep ecosystem builders informed, inspired, and connected. This includes conducting discovery conversations with Praxis's existing trained ecosystem builders to understand where they are, what they are running, and what they most need from Praxis going forward.
• Facilitate or co-facilitate quarterly calls across multiple time zones, preparing scripts, discussion guides, and follow-up materials for each session
• Write and produce the Labs newsletter and other regular communications to ecosystem builders, maintaining Praxis' voice and ensuring content is relevant, timely, and useful
• Serve as the first point of contact for ecosystem builders with operational questions, platform issues, or support needs, troubleshooting proactively and following up to ensure resolution
• Build and maintain a growing knowledge base of common questions, regional issues, and support resources that reduces friction for ecosystem builders and scales the support function over time
• Track engagement across the community, including call attendance, newsletter open rates, and ecosystem builder responsiveness, and use that data to improve the rhythm and quality of ongoing touchpoints

Praxis' ecosystem platform is the digital home for the products and experiences that city ecosystem builders run in their communities. This role owns the operational relationship with the platform, working with external development partners to ensure it continues to evolve in ways that serve ecosystem builders well, and exploring new tools and approaches that make delivery more seamless and scalable.

• Serve as the primary operational point of contact for Praxis' external platform development partners, managing the project cadence, surfacing user feedback, and ensuring development priorities stay aligned with what ecosystem builders actually need
• Gather and synthesize feedback from ecosystem builders on their platform experience, translating it into clear, actionable inputs for the development team
• Identify and evaluate AI tools and workflow improvements that could reduce friction in platform management, content delivery, and ecosystem builder support
• Maintain platform documentation and user guides, ensuring ecosystem builders can navigate the platform independently and that onboarding new users is straightforward
• Coordinate with internal stakeholders to ensure the platform reflects current program design, updated resources, and evolving ecosystem needs

Recruiting the right ecosystem builders requires more than outreach. It requires a compelling, well-timed communications strategy that builds awareness of the Labs program, generates interest from submissions, and converts interested ecosystem builders into trained, active members of the network. This role means that communications work end-to-end, writing copy and coordinating with Praxis' media team to bring it to life.

• Own the marketing and communications strategy for ecosystem builder recruiting each season, developing a plan that covers channels, timing, messaging, and targets
• Write all recruiting-facing copy, including emails, interest form landing pages, social content, and program descriptions, in Praxis' voice and to Praxis' standards of quality
• Coordinate with Praxis' media team to develop assets that support the recruiting strategy, including video content, testimonials, and story-driven materials that communicate the value of becoming a Praxis ecosystem builder
• Maintain and improve the interest form and application experience, ensuring the funnel from awareness to submission is clear, compelling, and well-tracked
• Track recruiting funnel performance, including awareness, interest form submissions, and conversion rates, and use that data to improve the strategy each cycle

• An operator who loves community: You find genuine satisfaction in building the systems that make other people's work possible, and you care about the people those systems serve. The ecosystem builders you support aren't abstractions to you; they're real people doing meaningful work, and you bring warmth and attentiveness to every interaction.
• A systems builder: You don't just execute processes, you improve them. You document what you build, train others on how to use it, and proactively identify where workflows are creating friction. Your project management spaces are clean, your follow-ups are timely, and your checklists are complete, because you genuinely care about the craft of getting things right.
• A strong writer: You understand that communications are not administrative work - they are a craft. You write clearly and warmly in an organizational voice, and you bring care and precision to everything from a quarterly newsletter to a recruiting email sequence.
• Steady under pressure: You manage a high volume of relationships and moving parts without letting things slip, and you bring calm rather than stress to the work. The people around you, and the ecosystem builders you serve, feel well-supported because of how you show up.
• Globally curious: You're energized by the diversity of contexts Praxis works in, from Nairobi to Singapore to cities across the US, and you bring sensitivity and creativity to how you support ecosystem builders across very different cultural and geographic settings.
• Eager to be embedded:...
