The Sr. Manager, Marketing & Communications will grow, engage, and tell the stories of our worldwide community and Praxis programs across digital, web, and print platforms.

About the Role

Praxis began in 2011 with a desire to support and equip Christian entrepreneurs and has grown into a venture-building ecosystem with a redemptive imagination, supporting founders, funders, and innovators motivated by their faith to address the major issues of our time. Our work, which is powered by an outstanding team of over twenty builders and operators, centers on a global community of founders, funders, and innovators pursuing redemptive entrepreneurship. Over the years we have developed and shared our ideas and practices across and beyond this community of practice, through publishing, gatherings, and digital (email, social, web, and podcast). In the next phase of our work, we aspire to scale our reach and deepen our engagement considerably—through new programs and products, paired with upgraded content marketing, storytelling, and brand management.

The Senior Manager, Marketing & Communications will help make redemptive entrepreneurship accessible and engaging to a range of audiences, rooted in our active community of 1,000+ closely-connected practitioners and 30,000+ digital followers. This person will bring the best of Praxis—including programs, Playbooks, case studies, stories, research, courses, books, and tools—to our community and beyond through effective content marketing, communications practices, and robust systems. This seat in the organization has the opportunity to directly advance our 30-year vision of making redemptive entrepreneurship commonplace.

The person in this role will collaborate across the organization as a trusted partner in our marketing, communications, and digital presence. They will be responsible for how our worldwide community and readers experience Praxis through channels including web properties, regular email communication, social media, our podcast, and other storytelling venues—through a consistent, trustworthy tone and a high bar of excellence in execution. As an organization, we aspire to “use our creative gifts to tell the truest version of our story rather than the grandest” and demonstrate that “nonprofits can become known as the greatest truth-tellers” (from the Story commitment in The Redemptive Nonprofit playbook). We will look to this role to embody the redemptive possibilities of marketing and communications.

Candidates should have experience in designing and executing communications plans and building systems to support that delivery, including managing multiple projects simultaneously and collaborating with team members and contractors amid evolving priorities. They should bring experience in content marketing (social, web, email) that will allow us to scale our ideas for greater reach and impact. We’re looking for an ambitious, strategic leader who can manage and deliver the details of day-to-day execution with empathy for our audiences, resonance with our ethos and voice, bias for action, keen attention to detail, and a spirit of innovation.
