We’re one of the largest agricultural service providers in Africa. We operate in six core countries (Burundi, Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda) and run four pilots (Ethiopia, India, Nigeria, and Zambia).
Our business is improving the lives of our customers. Guided by our mission, we use the discipline of a business to deliver cost-effective services to millions of people. We believe that heart plus rigor can change the world.
At One Acre Fund, we measure success in our ability to make smallholder farmers more prosperous. We serve farmers only and put farmers first in everything we do. Every spreadsheet, every phone call, and every meeting focuses on producing better crops and building a brighter future for some of the hard working people on the planet.
We are excited to learn from our customers, and we all spend time in the field regularly and get our shoes muddy. We pride ourselves on building our headquarters in rural areas and humbly listen to farmers’ input. By staying close to the heart of the business, we can respond to customer needs, innovate quickly, and see the impact of our work firsthand.
directing a growing organization
We dream big: in 2020, we will serve one million smallholder farmers, and by 2030 we aim to serve 10 million farmers. Our growth is supported by strong demand for quality farm supplies in rural areas and our financially sustainable model, a combination of farmers’ contributions and global investment.
Working on a large scale offers unique career opportunities. Many of our employees manage large teams, work across multiple countries and languages, and make decisions that affect entire regions. We are a leading team of owners, operating independently and taking responsibility for the bottom line. We thrive on the challenge of continuous growth.
We have a strong culture of continuous learning, and we deliver as much responsibility as possible early on. We encourage employees at all levels to think critically about their work, present new ideas, and undertake extended projects that enhance on-the-job learning. We also offer a wide range of in-house courses, from Project Management and Excel to Management and Strategy.
You will have weekly check-ins with your manager, access to mentorship, a dedicated career development salary, and consistent feedback on your performance. We conduct semi-annual job reviews, with regular opportunities for a performance increase or bonus after the first 12 months.
Enjoy comprehensive benefits
We care deeply and sincerely about the well-being of the people on our team. We hope our talented employees can stay for many years, so we invest in long-term sustainability. We offer a flexible workplace, with informal desks, a naughty dress code, and the option to change working hours or work part-time from home. We care about results, not time in the office.
We offer a generous benefits package because we believe strongly in supporting the well-being of employees and their families. While details vary by role and location, we generally offer health insurance to employees and their families; at least four weeks of paid leave; housing allowances; professional development opportunities; Paid maternity and paternity leave.
We believe in transparency and share details about salary and benefits early in the interview process. As a not-for-profit organization, we cannot always match the rewards at the largest private sector employers. However, we work to maintain our competitive edge with similar mission-driven organizations, and to provide benefits that support a good quality of life.
