Key Responsibilities
- Proactive User Outreach: Identify and reach out to subscribers with low or declining usage to re-engage them and encourage continued learning.
- Onboarding Support: Guide new users through the platform, ensuring they understand how to navigate the app and maximize its features from day one.

- Communication: Maintain consistent, warm, and professional communication through the app's messaging channels, email, or other designated platforms.
Qualifications & Requirements
- Proficient in reading and reciting Koranic/Quranic Arabic text, as the app content involves Koran-based study material and the role requires the ability to guide users through this content accurately and confidently.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English (additional languages are a plus).
- Prior experience in customer success, user engagement, community management, or retention-focused roles is preferred.
- Empathetic, patient, and genuinely motivated to help others succeed in their learning journey.
