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. Hear more about this role from the Regional Ecosystem Partner, Africa. ### The Role This role reports to the Regional Ecosystem Partner, Africa, at Praxis. As Manager, Africa Accelerator, you will run the day-to-day of Praxis' accelerators on the continent. This is an operational role. The other members of our team recruit and select the founders, recruit the mentors, and coach the Fellows. You make the program run, owning the calendar, communications, logistics, and systems from the first recruiting push to the outcomes Fellows achieve after the cohort ends. Each accelerator is a 9-month program built around three week-long in-person gatherings, two on the continent and one in the U.S., with monthly coaching in between. In Africa we run two: a business accelerator led by our Africa Ecosystem Partner, and a nonprofit accelerator led by our Nonprofit Accelerator Venture Partner. You partner with both leads to run each one. The accelerators are your main work, but they aren't the end goal. They serve Praxis' vision of a dense network of redemptive entrepreneurs across Africa. About 10% of your time goes to supporting that broader regional ecosystem, and we're looking for someone who is happy to flex when the network needs it. This is a Manager-level role for someone based in Africa who knows its entrepreneurial and faith-based communities, takes full ownership of a program calendar, and cares about the details that make founders and mentors feel well hosted. ### Key Areas of Responsibility ### Recruitment and Selection (20%) - Manage recruitment and selection for both cohorts, including the application process, candidate evaluation materials, and interview scheduling, in partnership with the program leads, who make selection decisions - Draft recruiting outreach and communications with the program leads, and prepare research on candidates ahead of key conversations - Coordinate the logistics of mentor and venture coach recruitment and onboarding - Onboard each new cohort into the program and the wider Praxis community ### Program Delivery (40%) - Own the program calendar across the full cycle (e.g., recruitment, selection, onboarding, Kickoff, mentor cycles, and the cohort experience at the Nairobi Regional Gathering), including scheduling, meeting preparation, and follow-up with the program leads - Draft and send communications to Fellows, mentors, and venture coaches (e.g., pre-event prep emails, schedules, responses to pre-event questions), including communications on behalf of the program leads - Prepare program materials with the program leads (e.g., event books, schedules, mentor pairings), coordinating with our events team for a clean handoff of on-site logistics - Provide on-site program support at accelerator events - Serve as a local point of contact for our events team on vendors and venues in the region - Run the virtual program between convenings, including monthly cohort calls (scripts, decks, breakouts, recaps), the venture coach cadence, and the pitch coaching cycle - Track local spend and submit expenses on time ### Driving Outcomes (10%) - Support the program leads to drive outcomes for current Fellows and portfolio alumni, including coordinating introductions and plugging Fellows into the regional and global Praxis network - Help each outgoing class transition into the alumni community and stay well integrated into the overall Praxis community --- Data: alder (https://alderhq.app).
