PROPOSED LEADERSHIP ROLE · REMOTE
Muslim Manga is developing a clearer way to welcome, support, and coordinate contributors. The General Volunteer Manager would be the central point of contact for the volunteer program, reporting directly to the Founder / Director.
A creative project can have talented contributors and still struggle when no one knows who is doing what. This role brings clarity: welcome new people, match them to manageable tasks, keep communication flowing, notice when someone needs help, and make it easier for contributors to stay engaged without burning out.
Help review suitable applications, hold brief introductory conversations, assign a first task, and explain team norms.
Keep a current roster, department assignments, skills, availability and task status in an approved private system.
Hold lightweight check-ins, recognize contributions, help resolve scheduling issues, and refer serious concerns to the Founder.
As the team grows, support the selection, onboarding and regular check-ins of department Volunteer Team Managers.
Share a short weekly summary of active contributors, completed work, blockers, upcoming needs and decisions that need the Founder’s approval.
Create reusable checklists, role descriptions, onboarding guides and offboarding steps.
Follow privacy, copyright, access-control and conduct procedures, and escalate any safety, harassment, legal or commercial concern promptly.
At first the General Volunteer Manager works directly with all volunteers. A department manager is appointed only when a team has enough active work to need one.
You are organized, responsive, kind but comfortable following up, and good at turning ambiguous requests into simple next steps. Experience leading a student club, community group, nonprofit initiative, online community or small project team is relevant. You do not need to draw manga, speak Japanese, or hold a management title.
It does not authorize signing contracts, hiring staff, setting pay, making binding publishing promises, handling sensitive applicant data outside approved systems, or making final editorial or legal decisions. It is not a guarantee of future paid employment.
Is the role open? It is a proposed role. Recruitment status will be published here after organizational review.
Will I manage all departments? At first, yes, for coordination. Later, department managers take over day-to-day team assignments.
Do I approve final comics? No. Publishing and editorial approval follow separate permissions.
What if I need to step away? There should be a documented handoff. Stepping away from a role never affects your ordinary community membership.
