Programmes Associate
Responsibilities
·
Field operations staff focus on
farmer-facing services. They start as generalists, with overall responsibility
for executing One Acre’s program in a region. Over time, they can continue to
rise as a general leader, possibly growing to manage an entire country’s field
operation. Or they may specialize, for example, in the creation and roll-out of
staff development training for hundreds or even 1,000+ team members.
·
Support operations staff build the
infrastructure required for growth. These teams proactively eliminate barriers
to scale in a diverse range of areas – processing millions of farmer payments,
communicating to farmers via tens of millions of SMS, hiring hundreds of new
staff per year, and physically moving 20,000+ tons of farm inputs to thousands
of drop sites. Program Associates also make steady improvements to accelerate
growth – for example, setting up mobile money integration for a country.
·
One Acre’s Innovations teams discover
new ideas for their programs and conduct dozens of trials to test these ideas.
As an organization, One Acre constantly seek to learn and improve, and their
Innovations teams lead the way.
·
Product Innovations staff improve
their core agricultural products or run new experiments in energy and health
products. The ideas they discover may eventually scale to hundreds of thousands
of households. Product Innovations staff design trials, execute trials together
with thousands of farmers, synthesize trial data, and make constant revisions
to the product offering. For example, One Acre Fund’s Product Innovations team
is currently testing delivery of live chickens and preparing the product for
full-scale rollout. One Acre Fund is also increasingly delving into energy and
health, and they are currently one of the largest sellers of solar lights in
Sub-Saharan Africa.
·
Scale Innovations staff seek to
improve One Acre’s core operating model. By running trials with tens of
thousands of farmers, they analyze targeted questions such as: does moving from
a group liability loan to an individual liability loan improve repayment and
customer satisfaction? Or they might investigate more radical ideas, such as
setting up physical One Acre Fund shops to see if there are more efficient ways
to deliver high-quality service to farmers. They try variations on their
program with the goal of improving scalability, impact, and financial
sustainability.
·
On a day-to-day basis, nearly all
roles involve a mix of activities:
·
Understanding and solving problems:
observing field operations, meeting with leaders of their field staff, running
surveys, conducting desk research, analyzing KPIs, etc. Then creating simple
and lasting solutions to complex problems.
·
Planning and executing large
projects: identifying clear goals, creating project calendars, designing
workflows, creating field tools and talking points, designing incentive systems
and understanding stakeholders, following up and monitoring project execution
in the field, etc.
·
Building teams: hiring staff using
One Acre Fund’s unique “experiential hiring” system, mentoring key deputies,
and steadily handing off responsibility to your team as you build it.
·
Communicating with other teams:
working in coordination with One Acre Fund’s other teams on the ground to
execute a smooth customer experience in the simplest way possible
Qualifications
·
One Acre Fund are seeking exceptional
professionals with 2 to 5+ years of work experience, and a demonstrated
long-term passion for international development. Candidates who fit the
following criteria are strongly encouraged to apply:
·
Strong work experiences. Examples

·
Leadership experience at work, or

Top-performing undergraduate
background (include final grade/marks/GPA).
·
Humility. One Acre Fund are looking
for passionate professionals who combine strong leadership skills with good
humor, patience, and a humble approach to service to join their growing family

·
A willingness to commit to living in
rural areas of East Africa for at least two years – this is a long-term,
career-track role. The ideal candidate will have at least one year demonstrated
experience working in the developing world, although this is not a strict
requirement.
·
