About the Role

One Acre Fund seeks two entrepreneurial fundraisers to spearhead our strategic expansion into Europe. One position will focus on the Swiss market and the other on the German market. In these roles, you will have the unique opportunity to build our profile, network, and fundraising capacity from the ground up while being supported by an established, high-performing global team. Working closely with our writing, finance, and program teams, your objective will be to secure new donor relationships and grow our fundraising portfolio in one of these key markets. 

The ideal candidate will have a track record of consistent annual 7-8 figure fundraising results, a strong existing and relevant network, and a passion for helping organizations build new relationships. You will have annual fundraising targets that inform performance assessments. We are looking for someone who enjoys building - and connecting with - their network in an authentic way, every day. 

If successful, you will help raise the funds to catalyze the next phase of One Acre Fund’s growth, supporting our ambitious 2030 vision to deliver $1B in impact to 10 million smallholder farmers and their families, including 55 million individuals. This role offers a powerful opportunity for personal impact on pressing global challenges. Your skillset and energy will measurably help  and sustainably improve the lives of the world's largest population living in extreme poverty.

Responsibilities

• Grant fundraising. You will work independently to build a pipeline of high-net-worth individual and institutional donor prospects, converting new leads into high-value relationships for One Acre Fund. Within 6-12 months, you will be expected to independently bring in new relationships incremental to One Acre Fund’s existing network of donors.
• Grant stewardship. You will steward the high-value relationships you secure, with the goal of driving renewals and, where appropriate, increasing giving over time. This may involve activities such as coordinating with program teams to ensure grant milestones are met, preparing formal progress updates for donors (with support from the writing team), and supporting donor visits to our program areas.

About the Role

From R&D to sales to strategy to operations, the Global R&D Data Analyst has the unique opportunity to improve decision-making across all aspects of One Acre Fund’s program using many diverse data types, such as sales, yield, demographic and satellite data, to help us reach more farmers with greater impact. 

The Global R&D Data Analyst will help us reach over one million farmers by executing analyses for strategic decision-making on repayment, expansion, and other business functions, and work directly with program leaders to interpret results and make data-driven decisions. The Global R&D Data Analyst will play an integral role in shaping One Acre Fund’s data strategy, including dreaming up and executing new ways to use our data to improve our program.

Additionally, One Acre Fund has a robust agronomic and socioeconomic research program spanning all countries of operation. This role will work closely with country R&D teams to ensure all trials are executed at the highest possible standards, provide follow-up analytical support and training to team members, and support with warehousing of our agronomic data to make our research outputs accessible to external collaborators, further increasing One Acre Fund’s smallholder farmer impact across the continent.

To succeed in this role, you will need to be a strong communicator and have a solid analytical background with experience in experimental design. You will need to be comfortable interpreting ambiguous results generated with imperfect data and advising leaders on the relative risk associated with different decisions based on the results of your analysis. 

This is a deliberately hybrid role. Success requires the ability to operate effectively as:

• an experimental methodologist (trial design & causal inference),
• an applied data scientist (production analytics, geospatial methods, modelling), and

Responsibilities

Own methodological rigour and analytical quality for trials and surveys (30%):

• Design and analyse trials and surveys, including:
  • Sample size and power calculations
  • Stratification and experimental design

• Lead analysis of agronomic and product trials to estimate treatment effects and program impact
• Quality assure trial designs and analyses produced by other analysts
• Translate trial findings into clear recommendations for product design, agronomic guidance, and program strategy.

Develop scalable analytical products and decision-support tools using program, survey, and spatial data (30%):

• Build, maintain, and improve analytical pipelines and production codebases that power operational decision tools (e.g., sowing date or input recommendations), including occasional support at the production level.
• Integrate survey, MEL, and operational data with geospatial layers (soil, climate, vegetation, remote sensing) to generate localised recommendations and program targeting strategies.
• Conduct spatial and remote-sensing analyses for program design, prioritisation, and impact estimation (e.g., soil erosion modelling, site suitability analysis).
• Analyse historical trial and soil data to generate input and soil management recommendations (e.g., lime application, fertiliser rate application).
• Evaluate potential impact of alternative interventions and support pilot design, iteration, and scale decisions.
• Translate analyses into decision-ready outputs (briefs, dashboards, and memos) for non-technical stakeholders.
• Identify new, high-leverage analytical use cases that improve program reach, impact, or cost-effectiveness.

Lead impact data management and project management (~20%)

• Lead curation and standardisation of historical yield, agronomic practice, and trial datasets to enable reuse and external research collaboration.
• Own knowledge management for impact data and trials, including:
  • Central documentation of methodologies, assumptions, sample sizes, and results for all projects
  • Reusable analysis templates and reference implementations
• Manage external data requests in compliance with client data protection and confidentiality protocols.

Provide portfolio-level project management (~20%):

• Maintain project plans, priorities, and timelines
• Track dependencies and risks
• Coordinate with program and R&D stakeholders to identify potential delivery risks
• Establish durable documentation and planning systems (e.g., project roadmaps, project trackers, shared repositories).

Career Growth and Development

We have a strong culture of constant learning, and we invest in developing our people. You’ll have weekly check-ins with your manager, access to mentorship and training programs, and regular feedback on your performance.

• Bachelor's Degree in one of the following fields: economics, econometrics, mathematics, or statistics
• Proficiency in R and/or Python, including working knowledge of -
• Database connectivity (e.g., PostgreSQL) to enable data retrieval, manipulation, and storage from various databases
• Interact with RESTful APIs (e.g., JSON, XML)
• Data manipulation libraries (e.g., dplyr, tidyr) for efficient data wrangling, transformation, and exploration
• Packages for data visualisation (e.g., ggplot2, lattice, plotly)
• Advanced statistical analysis and modelling (stats, lme4, survival)
• Machine learning frameworks (e.g., randomForest, xgboost, caret) for building predictive models and conducting machine learning tasks
• Packages for data manipulation and visualisation, such as numpy, pandas, and Matplotlib
• Spatial data manipulation libraries (geopandas, rasterio, shapely, GDAL)
• In-depth knowledge of statistically rigorous trial design methodologies, including RCTs, side-by-side comparisons, RCBD, and other experimental designs
• In-depth knowledge of statistically rigorous survey design methods, including random, stratified, and cluster sampling
• Knowledge of relevant meteorological, soil, and vegetation data layers and sources, their uses and limitations (e.g., iSDA, ISRIC, CHIRPS, TAMSAT, NASA, Sentinel Hub, Google Earth Engine, AWS)
• Working knowledge of agronomy, e.g., practical understanding of fertiliser nutrient compositions, plant populations, growing degree days, GxE interactions.
• Working knowledge of GIS tools such as ArcGIS and QGIS, and spatial data analysis techniques.
• Proficiency in version control, such as Git/GitHub.
• Ability to easily explain technical concepts to non-technical decision makers and grow the analytical skills of others.

One Acre Fund has been working with farmers in the Amhara region of Ethiopia since 2014, with a specific focus on trees since 2018. The Ethiopia program has now expanded into the South Region of Ethiopia in 2024. Our aim with the tree program is to provide not only short-term income opportunities but also long-term benefits, such as soil health improvements and erosion control, so that farmers build resilience over time.

About the Role

The Innovations & Growth Lead will be an essential part of our leadership team in one of One Acre Fund's fastest-growing country programs and report directly to the Country Director. 

As an Innovations & Growth Lead, you will sit at the intersection of high-level strategy and "last-mile" delivery, shaping the strategy to plant 100 million trees and generate over $100M additional impact for 440,000 Ethiopian farmers by 2030. You will also pioneer the revenue models that will make our impact self-sustaining.

You will lead a high-performing team of innovators and M&E specialists to turn a 5-year vision into a rigorous 'Learning Agenda”: designing the field trials, mastering the data, and proving what works before we scale it to 440,000 households. You will ensure that every piece of data collected in the field informs our highest-level strategic decisions. If you are obsessed with evidence-based growth and love solving complex operational puzzles in the field, this is for you!.

Success is measured by your ability to reach OAF Ethiopia’s 2030 objectives. You will:

• Support our network of 1,000+ nursery managers by improving their production and finding new ways to generate income.
• Engineer innovative, scalable solutions to maximize income for every farmer reached, unlocking opportunities for youth and women.
• Secure our seed supply through large-scale adoption of the best varieties and partnerships like the Jimma Research Centre.
• Define the next frontier and move beyond existing programs to identify "what's next." You will lead the feasibility studies to transition OAF Ethiopia from a traditional NGO model to a revenue-generating organization. You will investigate the regulatory landscape and operational requirements, and research and test the most impactful agricultural practices, products, and services for our farmers.

In a single week, you could present our Learning Agenda to our Steerco, deciding which new programs (like carbon credits or market access) are ready for a pilot and which aren't yet viable. You would then work with the Tree innovation team to turn raw avocado trial data into a "Go/No-Go" recommendation for national expansion, before travelling to a remote nursery to troubleshoot a pilot in person, interviewing nursery managers to identify why avocado grafting success rates are lagging, and pivoting the training approach on the spot.

Responsibilities

• Translate our strategy into action: Lead multi-year impact strategies and translate them into specific field interventions across the organization.
• Drive the "Learning Agenda": Define annual critical questions. You will decide which new services or products enter our pipeline based on scale and ROI, then set SMART objectives. For example, explore the possibility of adding high-value trees.
• End-to-End Trial Management:  Design multi-year impact models, oversee the full lifecycle of field trials, empower and coach the impact team to research and implement impactful activities, from hypothesis and budgeting to operational workflows and staff training to translating it into actionable recommendations.
• Evidence-Based Decision Making: Partner with our Monitoring & Evaluation teams to analyze trial data and drive "Go/No-Go" recommendations for the Country Director. 
• Champion the professional evolution of your direct reports, providing the coaching and clarity needed to turn high-level organizational vision into rigorous, field-level results.

Career Growth and Development

We have a strong culture of constant learning, and we invest in developing our people. You’ll have weekly check-ins with your manager, access to mentorship and training programs, and regular feedback on your performance. We hold career reviews every six months and set aside time to discuss your aspirations and career goals. You’ll have the opportunity to shape a growing organization and build a rewarding long-term career.

Qualifications

Across all roles, these are the general qualifications we look for. For this role specifically, you will have:

• A proven track record with a minimum of 7 years of experience in managing complex projects or operations, or social enterprise programs in emerging markets, e.g., in agricultural innovation, extension, research & development, marketing, product development, consulting or MEL in agriculture, public health, or education (including 3+ years in one of our countries of operation).
• Experience identifying strategic gaps and designing "Learning Agendas" - knowing exactly which questions we need to answer through field trials before committing to a national-scale rollout.
• Field-First Mindset: Significant experience living and working in rural or "last-mile" settings, with a deep understanding of the associated operational challenges.
• Experimental Design & "Piloting" Mindset: Proven ability to design and execute field trials or pilot programs. You understand how to set up a "test vs. control" environment to see if a new intervention actually drives impact, you understand KPIs and success metrics and you have the judgment to adjust as needed when challenges come.
• Evaluation Frameworks: Analyze qualitative/quantitative field data, and turn raw results into a "Go/No-Go" recommendation for leadership. A plus if experience working with Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) teams to design surveys.
• Experience managing large teams (5-10+ team members) and delivering projects successfully.
• English required, Amharic preferred.

About the Role

The Field Operations Department supports the implementation of the One Acre Fund program in the field through a cascading team structure that reaches thousands of field agents. These agents work closely with farmers and deliver Tubura’s core services, including training, credit management, and organizing product distribution at the hill level.

As a Field Operations Associate within this department, you will have the opportunity to learn from large-scale field operations while contributing to continuous program improvement. The role includes two main components: operational management and innovation at scale.

Operations management

• The FOP Associate will focus on delivering services to farmers.  He/She begins as generalists, with overall responsibility for executing our program within a given region of operation in Burundi. Over time, He/she can continue to grow as a general leader, potentially managing Field Operations for an entire country. He/She may also choose to specialize, for example in designing and rolling out training programs.
• Program associates also build the infrastructure necessary to sustain and scale the program. These teams proactively remove barriers to scale across a wide range of areas, processing millions of payments made by farmers, communicating with farmers through tens of millions of SMS messages, recruiting hundreds of new staff each year, and physically transporting more than 20,000 tons of agricultural inputs to various delivery sites. Program Associates also drive continuous improvements to accelerate growth, for example by implementing mobile money system integration at the country level.

Innovation at scale

• Associates identify innovative agricultural, nutrition and environmental products to help increase farmers ‘ incomes. The ideas they develop may eventually support thousands of households. The team will design pilot trials, implement them with thousands of households, analyse the data, and continuously refine the product offerings provided to farmers. 
• Associates also work to improve our core operational model. By running trials with tens of thousands of farmers, they analyze targeted questions such as: does shifting from group liability loans to individual liability loans improve repayment rates and member satisfaction? They may also explore more radical ideas to determine whether there are more effective ways to deliver high-quality services to farmers. They test different program variations with the goal of improving our adaptability, impact, and financial sustainability.

Responsibilities

• Understand and solve problems: observe field operations, meet with field staff supervisors, conduct surveys, carry out desk research, analyze key performance indicators (KPIs), and more. Then design simple and sustainable solutions to complex challenges.
• Plan and execute large-scale projects: define clear objectives, develop project timelines, design work plans, create field tools and talking points, build incentive systems, engage stakeholders, and monitor and supervise project execution in the field.
• Strengthen the team: recruit staff using One Acre Fund’s unique “experiential recruitment” system, mentor key deputies, and progressively delegate responsibilities as your team grows stronger.
• Collaborate with other teams: work closely with other One Acre Fund teams in the field to deliver a smooth and positive customer experience for members in the simplest and most effective way possible.

Career Growth and Development

We have a strong culture of constant learning, and we invest in developing our people. You’ll have weekly check-ins with your manager, access to mentorship and training programs, and regular feedback on your performance. We hold career reviews every six months, and set aside time to discuss your aspirations and career goals. You’ll have the opportunity to shape a growing organization and build a rewarding long-term career.

Qualifications

Across all roles, these are the general qualifications we look for. For this role specifically, you will have:

• Bachelor’s degree in Economics, Public Administration, Management, Agriculture, or a related field. A Master’s degree is preferred.
• Strong proficiency in standard Microsoft Office applications (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) is highly preferred.
• Experience launching and managing projects in areas such as economics, business/market research, general research, administrative management, project management, or related fields, including data management and analysis, is preferred.
• Demonstrated leadership experience, whether in a professional or extracurricular context.
• Willingness to commit to living in a rural area. This is a long-term career-track role.
• At least two years of professional work experience.
• Language requirements: English (required), French (strongly recommended), English and Kirundi are preferred.

Our Burundi program, established in 2011, operates under the local brand Tubura. We are a rapidly growing organization with over 1,000 employees nationwide. As of 2024, we serve over 340,000 unique farmers in 7 provinces; Muramvya, Gitega, Kayanza, Mwaro, Ngozi, Muyinga, and Ruyigi. To learn more about our work, look at our Burundi program blog.

About the Role

Planting trees is one of the most efficient actions to generate impact for rural families and improve the local environment. Growing trees can have many benefits for farm families - trees can improve land productivity and soil fertility. Trees can also serve as a critical economic resource for families.. Additionally, they contribute positively to local ecosystems and reduce the effects of climate change.

As the Burundi Agroforestry Lead, you will lead our national agroforestry program to make it more impactful, efficient, and environmentally responsible. Through your technical experience and leadership you will help farmers to plant ten million trees in your first year, with potential to double in scale over time. Your work will support our target of planting 1 billion trees by 2030.

You will also contribute to our Regenerative Agriculture Portfolio in Burundi; improve farmer's ability to use natural resources to deliver healthy soils and continued prosperity.

You will report to the Burundi Impact Lead.

Responsibilities

• Strategic Reviews and Development: We don't just want to run an efficient programme - we want to improve and scale it. We expect under your leadership we could double the size of the Agroforestry Programme, compliment with new varieties, and bring more impact for farmers; through operational reviews each season, and strategy setting.
• Refine and Improve Current Operations: incremental gain in the work we do will have a big impact at scale. Driving new initiatives to improve our agroforestry operations will result in additional impact for each farm household that we serve. Through root cause analysis, you will identify underlying issues and then launch improvement initiatives. For example, these could aim to improve Seedling Survival Rates, New Varieties of Trees, Improving Market Demand, or phytosanitary care.
• Secure our seedling supply chain through our in-house production models. You will assess performance across our country-wide programme and implement improvements to design and deliver trainings on best practices for nursery management and species management and implement tactics and tools to reliably track field performance.
• Planning and Coordination of Distribution: Taking seedlings from 900 nurseries across the country and distributing to 400,000 farmers is a major task; and requires digital management of distribution, close understanding of farmer needs and constraints, and effective working with our field operations team.
• Scope and Launch new Initiatives in Regenerative Agriculture: Investing in additional trees for our farmers will support healthy soils and more productive farms. You will also support new initiatives to grow farmer income through use of natural alternatives to inorganic fertilizer: such as restoring soil health, biodiversity and ecosystem resilience.

Career Growth and Development

We have a strong culture of constant learning and we invest in developing our people. You’ll have weekly check-ins with your manager, access to mentorship and training programs, and regular feedback on your performance. We hold career reviews every six months, and set aside time to discuss your aspirations and career goals.

About the Role

The Impact division supports all One Acre Fund programs to generate more impact, wherever we work. We help the organization keep three core aspects of impact at the forefront of our work: 

1. Improve farmer livelihoods and profitability in the short term
2. Ensure long-term viability through sustainable agricultural practices (soil health, crop diversity, etc.)
3. Address non-agricultural needs of farming households (energy, nutrition, etc.)

Responsibilities

• Prioritize a few key mitigation opportunities to tackle at a time based on size and feasibility of potential reduction.
• Work with teams across the organization (program teams, inputs/sourcing teams, operations teams, etc.) to reduce emissions in their operations or purview.  This will require research & learning about the specific emissions hotspot and potential solutions, evaluating options with program teams, and implementing agreed-upon actions.  

Manage our Environmental & Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) process for all products and services offered by 1AF.

• Ensure that programs adhere to ESIA processes, including evaluating potential new products and services and implementing any mitigating actions required.
