Associate, Global Events & Operations

About Praxis

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.

About the Role

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 leaders across 120 cities to host Praxis experiences, including a new Praxis Course, Redemptive Imagination Tables, and three-day Labs. We are deepening our investment in the cities and regions most ready to become self-sustaining centers of redemptive entrepreneurship. 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 brings together world-class founders, funders, and ecosystem builders through a growing calendar of global events, anchored by our annual large 250+ person Regional Gatherings in Singapore and Nairobi, and extending to a range of high-touch intimate smaller convenings across multiple continents. The quality of those experiences depends as much on who shows up as on what happens in the room, and getting the right people there is both an art and a science.

The Global Events and Operations Associate is the person who manages that process. Reporting to the Sr. Manager of Global Events and based at Praxis' headquarters in New York City, this role supports a team that is the connective tissue between a world-class global community and the experiences that bring them together, managing the invitation funnel, stewarding attendee data, and ensuring that every gathering runs with excellence from first outreach through to final teardown and post-event engagement. Alongside this primary work, you'll maintain the operational systems and process integrity that the broader regional events team depends on, and provide logistical support for select smaller convenings across Africa, Asia, and other regions as we grow.

This is a role that requires both precision and warmth. We need someone who can build a communications system that scales and still make every invitee feel personally seen. The Sr. Manager of Global Events will invest significantly in this person's onboarding, systems training, and ongoing development, and candidates should be excited about growing into a deep understanding of how Praxis works and what it stands for.

We should note that this role requires someone with a great attitude. We're looking for someone who brings warmth and steadiness, especially under the pressure of live events.

 

Key Areas of Responsibility

Invitation Communications & Attendee Management // ~45%

Our Regional Gatherings invitation process is a critical operational function at Praxis, and it anchors a broader communications function that extends across our global event calendar. Regional Gathering attendees are invited and that sourcing comes from our local city ecosystem volunteer leaders and senior Praxis staff, but the communications infrastructure that converts those recruits into registered, well-prepared attendees is owned by this role. It requires systems fluency, exceptional writing, and the kind of organizational discipline that turns a complex, high-volume process into something that feels effortless and personal to every person on the receiving end.
