Description of the mission

About the Role

We are launching a bold, community-led rooftop solar project to drive national adoption of renewable energy. Our goal is to reduce costs through group-buying, build trust through local partnerships, and show that rooftop solar can be accessible for all — especially lower- and middle-income Malaysians. To fulfil this mission, we are seeking smart, highly motivated founding members to form the Malaysia team. Do you enjoy high degree of ownership and responsibility?

Join us as a Program Manager to lead the implementation of our demand aggregation strategy. This role will shape pilot programs, coordinate with multiple partners, and build systems and trust where few exist today. You’ll report directly to the CEO and work closely with a small, agile team and experienced advisors across policy, tech, and community engagement.

This role offers a unique opportunity to accelerate Malaysia’s rooftop solar uptake at scale. You’ll play a hands-on role in shaping and delivering a nationwide solar demand aggregation program—designing practical strategies, engaging stakeholders, and helping thousands of energy users make the switch to solar.

What You’ll Do

Community Engagement: Build trusted relationships with local communities, understand their energy needs and concerns, and co-design solutions that ensure inclusivity and shared ownership.
Pilot Launch: Design and implement group-buying pilots across 2–3 communities involving 400+ households.
Stakeholder Engagement: Manage relationships with local councils, solar providers, and residential associations.
Team Management: Supervise one outreach coordinator responsible for partner engagement and event logistics.
Progress Tracking: Monitor key project milestones and metrics; lead documentation and reporting.
Tool Use: Use Google Workspace, Notion, and Airtable to manage deliverables, timelines, and communications.
Model Development: Capture learnings and help build a replicable playbook for wider rooftop solar adoption.

Profile

What We’re Looking For

Excellent interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills
Self-starter comfortable creating systems and workflows in real-time
Strong organisational and goal-oriented mindset
Fluent in Bahasa Malaysia and English
Based in Klang Valley, with occasional travel if needed
Familiarity with project management tools like Notion, Google Workspace, and Airtable
