One Acre Fund is a nonprofit organization that supplies smallholder farmers in East Africa with asset-based financing and agriculture training services to reduce hunger and poverty.
Job Description
We are seeking a highly capable and motivated individual to work with our Senior Director for Business and Partnership Development to support the end-to-end delivery of some of our most important and complex grants including day-to-day donor engagement, project management support, coordination with program teams to ensure effective delivery, and donor reporting. This role will be at the center of a dynamic, evolving portfolio as One Acre Fund grows and diversifies its program and funding model, and we’re looking for someone excited and energized by the opportunity.
Communication (both written and verbal) to a diverse set of stakeholders will be critical to the success of this role, and we want someone who has a true passion for this, and in particular for communicating complicated ideas in a clear and compelling way. Prior experience with fundraising is not required in this role being a structured and inspiring communicator, with a good business mind and experience designing and/or implementing development programs are the most important prerequisites. Strong project management skills are also important, as this person will need to ensure that key stakeholders both internally and externally are aligned and working toward established milestones.
This is a support role, focused on implementation of existing relationships. However, this is also a career-track position, with significant growth potential to take on ownership of key relationships over time. In the long term, this position has multiple pathways to management, based on performance including managing other team members and/or managing an independent portfolio of donor relations.
Specific responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
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
We are seeking an exceptional professional with 5+ years of relevant work experience, and a demonstrated long-term interest in international development. We are looking for truly extraordinary candidates that will help take our organization to a new level of impact and scale. Candidates who fit the following criteria are strongly encouraged to apply.
