Director, Community Systems at Praxis · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

This role reports to the Partner, Capital at Praxis. As the Director, Community Systems, you will build and lead the system that cultivates a community of connected relationships eager to build ventures and projects together. The Director is an architect and operator of systems rooted in the conviction that compounding impact over time is made possible by the curation of a dense network of founders, funders, creatives, thinkers, and builders. The Director owns two connected systems: how the community is recruited, formed, and activated, and how the needs of select ventures and projects are surfaced, matched, and fulfilled through the community’s abundance of expertise, capacity for mentorship, introductions to talent, and financial capital. They also equip members of the Praxis team to do the deeply personal work inside those systems.
The value of this role is that the loop runs as one system with one accountable lead, rather than two functions passing information across a gap.
Key Areas of Responsibility
Community Cultivation (~50%)
Helps lead and design the architecture and operation of how Praxis recruits and cultivates the community across regions, enabling the team to spend their limited relational capital in meaningful ways while building systems to carry the work elsewhere.
Build and maintain the community management model, organizing the community by roles, interests, engagements, etc. and the processes for personal recruitment and cultivation.
Own the data layer that makes the community understandable: the key data inputs and community management processes, and a structured view of who can contribute what (deployable capital, network and domain reach, expertise and mentoring capacity), captured through the relationship work itself rather than layered on top of it.
Design and run the operating rhythms: Community portfolio sizing and assignment, touchpoint standards, and the pipeline directory that invites people into relevant programs, events, and opportunities for engagement.
Equip and coach the team members who are the frontline of the community — giving them the tools, briefs, prompts, and dashboards that make personal outreach more informed and less administrative, without ever scripting what must stay personal.
Work with the Systems Lead to develop AI agents and AI-enabled workflows that support community managers in the personal cultivation of community relationships; hold the line that certain interactions and invitations should remain relational and personal.
Protect the Community Principles — people over projects, givers before takers — as the ceiling on how the system is used.
Community-Driven Venture and Project Support (~50%)
