    Brand Strategist

    The Brand Strategist will lead One Acre Fund’s efforts to build our brand and maintain the positive reputation that allows us to achieve our goals for farmers. This is not a traditional marketing role, focused on selling a product. This is a unique opportunity to position a fast-growing organization in six diverse markets across Africa. You’ll define what makes us unique and communicate it to the world.

    It’s an ideal role for someone who loves drawing insights from data and using them to direct world-class creative. You’ll work closely with our in-house teams (digital, media, creative, and culture) to develop audience insights, craft key messages, and design integrated marketing campaigns. You’ll advise senior leaders and deliver data showing that our brand reputation supports our core business objectives.

    Employer Branding

    You’ll inspire a generation of talented professionals to build a career in agriculture, which is at the heart of national development.

    • Design data-driven campaigns to build awareness, capture leads, and convert job applications

    • Work with culture and internal communications team to activate employees as brand advocates

    Corporate Reputation

    You’ll ensure brand consistency across a multinational organization. As we grow, we get more complex: we’re expanding our services for farmers, piloting new business, and entering new regions. You’ll shape a clear external narrative around what we do, and champion its consistent use across the organization.

    • Develop strategies to establish One Acre Fund as a thought leader on topics of national interest

    • Create data-backed briefs for the creative and media teams on content marketing campaigns

    • Advise field teams on positioning new products for farmers or launching business sub-brands

    • Manage global digital channels (website, social, emails) and advise on country-specific channels

    Digital Distribution and Analytics

    You’ll design sophisticated distribution and measurement strategies that put us at the forefront of digital in East Africa. Our audiences are increasingly online, but digital access and preferences vary by country. Working with a direct report and vendors, you’ll design digital outreach strategies for each market.

    • Develop strategies for digital distribution in each market across paid, owned, and earned media

    • Define goals for digital campaigns and provide hands-on guidance to direct report for analysis

    • Propose budget and scope for partnerships with vendors (ads, search, website) and digital tools

    • Report regularly on key brand performance indicators and marketing ROI to senior leadership

    Management

    You’re a strong manager and team player. You’ll report to the Global Communications Director, manage one direct report executing digital marketing, and lead productive collaboration with colleagues handling media, writing, design, photo/video, culture and internal communications.
