Preferred Qualifications: An operator at heart but genuinely loves community, finding meaning in building the systems that make other people's work possible, and bringing warmth and care to every touchpoint with the leaders they serve.
Great attitude, bringing steadiness and warmth, especially when managing a high volume of relationships and moving parts simultaneously.
Understanding where each city in Praxis' network actually is, and ensuring the right support reaches the right leaders at the right time.
Own and maintain the City Ecosystem Airtable, the master record of every city in Praxis' network, including ecosystem health assessments, leader profiles, activity history, and tiering status.
Support the coordination of city assessment outreach, building templates, tracking responses, and synthesizing qualitative notes into clean, usable records for the broader team.
Manage the tiering and resourcing logic that determines what support each city receives, maintaining clear criteria and ensuring the right interventions reach the right cities at the right time.
Track city progression over time, from initial activation through growing activity to mature ecosystem status, surfacing patterns and trends that inform team strategy.
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 deeper city investments, supporting senior team members with scheduling, documentation, follow-up tracking, and progress visibility across the most strategically important cities in the network.
Monitor engagement signals across the network, including event activity, comms responsiveness, and leader outreach, and proactively flag cities that may need additional attention or intervention.
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 identifying candidates, managing communications, tracking funnel progress, and ensuring cohorts are filled with the right people. 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.
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 leaders 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.
Own the full rhythm of ongoing community engagement for active ecosystem leaders, including quarterly check-in calls, newsletters, and other touchpoints that keep the network informed, inspired, and connected.
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 leaders, maintaining Praxis' voice and ensuring content is relevant, timely, and useful.
Serve as the first point of contact for ecosystem leaders 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 leaders and scales the support function over time.
Track engagement across the community, including call attendance, newsletter open rates, and leader responsiveness, and use that data to improve the rhythm and quality of ongoing touchpoints.
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 leaders actually need.
Gather and synthesize feedback from ecosystem leaders 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 leader support.
Maintain platform documentation and user guides, ensuring leaders 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.
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 leader.
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.
