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.

We’re seeking a leader to join Praxis at a pivotal moment in our journey.

For all Praxis roles, we are open to candidates who are ‘outside of range’. That is to say, growth-minded applicants at an earlier stage of career and comp, or candidates with experience above the highest end of the job description and compensation range, are welcome & encouraged to apply.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate deep alignment with our mission to advance redemptive entrepreneurship and our organizational culture, which includes shared rhythms such as daily team prayer and a company-wide weekly Sabbath, as detailed in our Rule of Life for Redemptive Entrepreneurs.
