Role Summary.

We are seeking a relationship-driven and strategically-minded MSA/ISOC Engagement Officer to build and sustain partnerships with ISocs and MSAs at campuses where Roots does not yet have an active class. You will be responsible for responding to interested ISocs/MSAs and nurturing a positive relationship until there is capacity for a class to be organised at their campus. There are two versions of this role: one covering the UK and Ireland, and one covering all other global regions. Where active Roots sites already exist in a country (currently Canada and Australia), new enquiries from that country are directed to the Onsite and Regional Leads. This is a communication and relationship-driven role with the aim to hold initial conversations, get back in touch with interested campuses from time to time, keeping relationships warm, and reaching out to on-hold campuses we would like to re-engage. This role will be the context-holder and information-finder, to assist the Onsite Program leadership in deciding which campuses, countries and regions to expand to.

Key tasks
● Respond to expressions of interest from ISocs/MSAs
● Lead the initial conversation with newly engaged ISocs/MSAs and maintain a positive ongoing relationship with them
● Renew relationships annually with ISoc/MSA committee changes
● Maintain a live record of every engaged campus detailing contacts, interaction history, interest level, and upcoming touchpoints

What we’re looking for
● Passion for Islamic education and the development of young Muslims
● Confidence leading conversations with student leaders and committee members
● Strong organisational skills, to be able to manage a live pipeline across multiple campuses without losing track
● Understanding of ISoc and MSA culture, ideally through personal experience as a committee member or through working closely with student societies
● Honest and direct communicator, able to maintain ongoing positive relationships with campuses we are not yet able to work with
● Proactive, self-motivated, and results-driven
