Job Description
Location: Base in Nairobi, Kenya with significant travel within five countries of implementation: Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo
Duration: 3 years full-time fixed term contract
Salary: Competitive
Farm Africa’s programmes vary hugely, ranging from helping crops farmers to boost harvests, livestock keepers to improve animal health, and forest coffee growers to reach export markets, but core to all of them is a focus on the financial sustainability of the farmers’ businesses and environmental sustainability.
We also partner with agribusinesses, service providers, and smallholder farmers, to drive agricultural development and promote economic growth. Central to our strategy is ensuring that our interventions are economically sustainable and scalable. The integration of robust market linkages into our programming is therefore crucial to our ability to scale interventions cost-effectively within existing market eco-systems.
We are looking for a highly competent Business Manager who will be tasked with the establishment and subsequent management of the Unit. She/he will develop and maintain a network of BDS providers, oversee the identification, assessment, and ongoing mentorship of SGBs, manage the Catalyst Fund to ensure SGBs are able to access suitable BDS services, and maintain excellent relationships with our donor, and the broader agribusiness landscape in East Africa.
