Address
SalaryAt Reapra, we are pioneering a very different way of building ventures. We believe in taking our time with potential founders in developing their vision of solving long-term systemic problems and see their startups today as being the first step to creating future industries for the betterment of future generations. The people and their commitments to these problems come first while their short-term ideas are just icing on the cake. Because of this approach, the way we source potential founders - initially through deep self-discovery - and operate internally, is unlike most companies or VC firms.
This position might not be for you if you are prioritising an opportunity that teaches technical skills or responsibilities in standard recruitment, VC deal sourcing, marketing or PR, or other corporate or VC responsibilities. Our Mission and Vision require us to create completely new processes and projects, and so we are looking for people who want to co-create with us from the ground up!
Responsibilities
Innovative Community Initiation and Improvement
- Start and build a Reapra Community in Australia innovatively, aligning with Reapra's long term vision and values.
- Develop and execute creative strategies for intentional and organic growth of membership in the Community.
- Foster a positive and collaborative environment within the Community to reflect the intended vision.
- Plan and experiment with diverse, creative methods to encourage unique networking and learning experiences, including online engagement, event planning and management, and other campaigns to catalyse Community involvement.
- Be the primary point of contact for Community members and other Community organizers, ensuring responsiveness and providing assistance.
- Advocate for the Community within Reapra, ensuring alignment with the overall Mission and Vision.
- Develop pipeline and processes to manage potential founder candidates among Community members who may qualify for Reapra’s Intensive Foundation Design program and subsequent employment/investment.
Reapra’s mission is to co-create new industries that have a positive impact on society, by integrating research and practice together. We do this through integrative, people-centric venture building – a new business creation process that connects the entrepreneur’s intrinsic motivation to a promising field that solves complex long-term issues in society. We invest in entrepreneurs with a ‘build-to-last’ mindset to develop market leaders over the long term.
