Munabook is a Qur’an learning app that connects students with qualified ustaz/ustazah for online 1-to-1 classes and live programmes.

We focus on:

• Tools & resources for learning al‑Qur’an
• A supportive Qur’an learning community
• 1-to-1 online classes for adults and children, with trial sessions and a simple refund policy

You will be our “on-the-ground” person in Malaysia, helping us:

• Build and manage relationships with Malaysian ustaz/ustazah
• Plan and coordinate Qur’an/tajwid live events in the Munabook app
• Support local marketing and community activities for Malaysian users

This is a long‑term, part‑time role (around 30–50 hours per month to start, with the possibility to adjust based on programmes and mutual agreement).

   • After each event, collect feedback via simple online forms and summarise key learning points
3. Market Insight & Local Culture
   • Monitor similar online Qur’an/tajwid programmes in Malaysia (pricing, format, marketing angles)
   • Advise on local culture, wording and sensitivity for BM copy, especially for charity‑related communication
   • Suggest suitable NGOs or campaigns in Malaysia for charity‑oriented live sessions (nice to have)
4. Reporting
   • Provide short weekly or bi‑weekly updates on work done, results, and next actions
   • Communicate with the founder team via WhatsApp / Telegram / email / Zoom

• Currently living in Malaysia (any state – remote work)

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, especially via WhatsApp, IG and FB
• Experience in at least one of the following:
  • Business development / partnerships
  • Community management
  • Event or webinar coordination
  • Social media / digital marketing
• Comfortable reaching out to new people, following up and handling basic negotiations
• Well‑organised and able to manage multiple conversations and events at the same time
• Familiarity with the Islamic / Qur’an learning scene in Malaysia is a strong plus (e.g. you follow ustaz/ustazah online, know common platforms or programmes)

• Part‑time, remote role: around 30–50 hours per month
• Monthly retainer RM2,000–3,000, depending on experience and hours
• Additional performance bonuses based on:
  • Number and quality of speakers successfully onboarded
  • Number of live events successfully completed
  • Event performance (attendance, feedback, etc.)
