This role sits at the intersection of finance, operations, people, and systems. You’ll work with a team of leaders who see these functions as a way to live out redemptive operations.

On the finance and ops side, that means making sure daily and weekly financial tasks are happening on time, serving as the point of contact for our accounting firm, and project managing the annual budgeting process. You'll also own project management for our annual performance review cycle, new hire onboarding, and hiring logistics — the kind of work where your organizational instincts directly shape how new team members experience Praxis from day one.

Your friends probably describe you as the one who always follows through on a plan. If you're a detail-oriented, proactive operator who wants to do meaningful work at a growing organization this role was made for you.
