Manager, Events & Operations

About Praxis

Praxis began in 2011 with a desire to support and equip Christian entrepreneurs and has grown steadily into a 35+ global team, headquartered in NYC, advancing the redemptive quests of founders, funders, and innovators motivated by their faith to address the major issues of our time. As a $15M+/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.

The Role

Loom from Direct Supervisor

At Praxis, we believe gathering people well is an act of service. Praxis gathers a global community of redemptive entrepreneurs, investors, and leaders through a portfolio of events — Redemptive Imagination Summit, Accelerator gatherings, ORI Forums, Global Regional Gatherings, and more. Every detail, from the first invitation to the final debrief, is a chance to extend hospitality and make room for the people we serve to do their best work.

This role reports to the Director, Events & Community. The Manager, Events and Operations helps Praxis translate program vision into excellent, hospitable, and operationally sound experiences. The Manager holds two things at once. First, they own a portfolio of events as the event lead, serving as the Program team's primary operational partner from discovery through debrief. Second, partnering closely with the Director to keep the full events portfolio moving with clarity, foresight, and consistent planning practices.

Maintain a rolling 18-month calendar view while aligning milestone decisions, location sourcing, and delivery schedules across the portfolio. You will support event leads in establishing structured, reliable execution boards, while partnering alongside the Director and Systems Manager to advance our Event Operating System—guiding product feature roadmaps, the live attendee mobile app, team workflow tools, and centralizing organizational knowledge in Notion.

This role is for someone who enjoys moving between hands-on event leadership and big-picture portfolio coordination. One day you're executing logistics and designing thoughtful attendee experiences. The next you're stepping back with the Director to align timelines, staffing, and priorities across the full calendar. Above all, we're looking for a strong events operator: someone who runs a tight plan so that everyone in the room can simply feel welcomed.
