Global Lead, Manager Training and Support

ABOUT ONE ACRE FUND

Founded in 2006, One Acre Fund supplies smallholder farmers with the agricultural services they need to make their farms vastly more productive. We provide quality farm supplies on credit, delivered within walking distance of farmers’ homes, and agricultural trainings to improve harvests. We measure our success by our ability to make farmers more prosperous: On average, farmers harvest 50 percent more food after working with One Acre Fund.

We are growing quickly. We currently serve more than 800,000 farm families in Eastern and Southern Africa, with more than 7,500 full-time staff, and we aim to serve 1 million farm families by 2020.

JOB DESCRIPTION

One Acre Fund has roughly 1,000 non-field staff managers and about 100 of these are higher-level leaders whose actions reverberate through entire countries and teams. Another 300 managers influence departments and the rest are line managers who influence individual executors. We believe the performance of our managers will determine our ability to reach our 2030 goals of serving 10 million farm families and creating a billion dollars of impact.
