One Acre Fund Mt Kenya Program Operations Associate Jobs in Kenya

Job Summary: Seeking resilient and resourceful self-starter to lead our Mt Kenya region to rapid growth.

Job Description

One Acre Fund is an established social enterprise that delivers agricultural support to farmers across East and Southern Africa. Instead of giving handouts, One Acre invests in farmers to generate a permanent gain in farm income. We provide farmers with a “market bundle” that includes education, finance, seed and fertilizer, and market access.

Our program is proven to be impactful – every year, we weigh thousands of harvests and measure more than 100% average gain in farm income per acre. We have laser-like focus on generating better lives for the people that we serve.

Since 2007, we have grown to serve more than 365,000 farm families in Kenya alone. However, we will not stop there. One Acre Fund plans to continue its rapid growth, and we expect to be able to support 1 million farm families in Kenya by 2025.

Program Associates play a major role in driving that growth and ensuring that it is both stable and systematic – while also adding major innovations and improvements to our program quality.

This offers Program Associates a strong career opportunity: the ability to learn from a successful field operation, contribute to aggressive growth and also make improvements to our program.

We are currently seeking a Program Associate for our Program Design team within One Acre Fund. As a team, Program Design provides the strategic direction and annual planning for all core activities in Kenya, driving towards the achievement of our ambitious scale and impact goals.

We focus specifically on the strategic management of One Acre Fund Kenya’s loan portfolio, creation and management of the marketing and enrollment strategy, and the planning and research for future program expansion within Kenya.

The Mt Kenya Program Associate will be responsible for leading our current operations and future growth in the Mt Kenya region, an area critical to achieving our highly ambitious scale goals.

The role will be based in Nyeri and will be required to build upon our newly established program to expand operations around the Mt Kenya area. Additionally, they will be required to build for scale for future operations.

Specific responsibilities include:
