Job Location: Nairobi

Reports to: Non-Agricultural Supply Chain Specialist

Most of the world’s poor are farmers, representing the largest and most uniform group of poor people in the world.

One Acre Fund is a growing NGO in Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Malawi, Zambia and Tanzania that is innovating a new way of helping farm families to achieve their full potential.

Instead of giving handouts, One Acre Fund invests in farmers to generate a permanent gain in farm income.

We provide farmers with a “market bundle” that includes education, finance, farm inputs and solar lights, and market access.

Our program is proven impactful- every year, we weigh thousands of harvests and measure 50-100% average gain in farm income per acre. We have laser-like focus on generating better lives for the people that we serve.

We are growing quickly. In ten years, we have grown to serve 0ver 600,000 farm families with more than 6,000 full-time field staff. Our approach has won widespread validation, winning grants from The MasterCard Foundation and Gates Foundation.

One Acre Fund will purchase over $40M worth of agricultural and non-agricultural inputs for direct sale to over 500,000 smallholder farmers in 2017.

Through distribution of these goods and innovative trainings, we produce $129 of impact per farmer, of which, $27 can be attributed to the distribution of non-agricultural inputs such as solar lights, efficient wood-burning cook stoves, and storage materials.

Access to these life-improving inputs electrifies households, allows farmers to store their grain, and gives farmers and their families the tools they need to grow themselves out of poverty.

The Supply Chain Supervisor is responsible for offering support in the sourcing, quality control and delivery of all non-agricultural products for our clients.

He/she is also responsible for supporting other global input teams in the administration and logistics role in order to deliver the highest quality, most impactful live improving products to the farmers we serve.
