    Business Development and Partnerships Manager - Technology

    About the Role

    The Business Development and Partnerships Manager for the technology portfolio will lead fundraising and partnership efforts for One Acre Fund's technology transformation agenda. You will drive efforts to connect to and manage external partners through coordination, technical fluency, and identifying key investment opportunities. You have a passion for new agri-technology innovations that have an impact on smallholder farmers. You will report to the Director of Global Partnerships, and work in the Innovative Partnerships pod within the Business Development team.

    Responsibilities

    • Grant origination and relationship management: You will build a pipeline of funders to mobilize resources for our technology portfolio. In some cases, this will involve co-designing new technology initiatives in partnership with our in-country teams. You will work with finance, grant-writing and compliance teams to develop new funding proposals and also manage existing grants.
    • Internal Coordination and strategy development: At One Acre Fund, technology cuts across several departments and geographies. You will bring cohesiveness and insights from internal stakeholders (e.g. in-country field teams) into our external conversations. You will also play a leading role in co-creating strategies for bringing new technologies to smallholder farmers that create a cost-effective impact.
    • Partnerships Building and Management: Our funding arrangements are increasingly strategic partnerships crafted around objectives that align with One Acre Fund's technology strategy. You will develop new partnerships with donor-priority organizations, technology companies and advisors. You will also manage relationships with our existing technology strategic partners.
    • A spokesperson for farmers, focused on technology: as a passionate technologist and partnerships-focused professional, you will be excited about representing our strategy externally. This could be at conferences, in media or via blog posts or white papers.

    Qualifications

    • Across all roles, these are the general qualifications we look for. For this role specifically, you will have the following:
    • 6+ years of relevant work experience in partnership building/ fundraising, technology for development (ICT4D) and/or agri-technology (preferably a combination).
    • 2+ years of experience in one of our countries of operation.
    • Strong existing networks in the technology and partnerships community
    • Technical fluency of agricultural digital technologies within our country's contexts
    • Management consulting or similar professional services experience.
