About One Acre Fund

Founded in 2006, One Acre Fund supplies 1 million smallholder farmers with the agricultural services they need to make their farms vastly more productive. We provide quality farm supplies on credit, delivered within walking distance of farmers’ homes, and agricultural trainings to improve harvests. We measure our success by our ability to make farmers more prosperous: On average, farmers harvest 50 percent more food after working with One Acre Fund.




Job Description

As the Product Manager you will report to the Director of Product Management. Working with our internal customers you will determine how we can improve our impact and operating efficiency through implementing technology solutions. You will support in leading the process of technology development to empower our service delivery and management decisions to be data-driven. You will also help create greater impact for over 1,000,000 farmers, and in building a quality support team for One Acre Fund staff

Example technology applications you might work on include:

  • Field staff performance management/enhancement – We want to explore how we can harness mobile technology to support hundreds of thousands of field staff and government extension workers to do their jobs more effectively across multiple countries using a variety of tools/applications
  • Mobile payments – In some countries, One Acre Fund already allows farmers to make payments from a “mobile wallet” over the mobile phone network. There is a huge opportunity to grow this work across our organization
    • Distribution and collection of data – Most farmers have very little access to simple information that has the potential to increase farm profitability (weather, prices, and agronomic techniques)
    • Logistics and procurement – we need to efficiently manage products from the supplier through to our farmers, ensuring delivery of quality products at times which are convenient for them

    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

    As the Product Manager, you do not need be a software developer, but we prefer you understand the agile software development process. We are looking for someone with 3+ years of work experience managing product management or business analysis in a technology environment. You have a passion for our mission and for applying technology to do good in the world.

    If you meet the following criteria, we encourage you to apply:

Analyst, Office of the CEO at one Acre Fund: Deadline:Sunday, 24 May 2020

About One Acre Fund

Founded in 2006, One Acre Fund supplies smallholder farmers with the agricultural services they need to make their farms vastly more productive. We provide quality farm supplies on credit, delivered within walking distance of farmers homes, and agricultural trainings to improve harvests. We measure our success by our ability to make farmers more prosperous: On average, farmers harvest 50 percent more food after working with One Acre Fund.

We are growing quickly. We currently serve more than 800,000 farm families in Eastern and Southern Africa, with more than 7,500 full-time staff, and we aim to serve 1 million farm families by 2020.




Job Description

We are looking for someone to reflect the voice of and to execute on behalf of the Executive Director. As One Acre Fund grows, our Executive Director is focused on an increasingly diverse set of priorities, from communicating with external partners to marshaling resources for new internal projects. You would work very closely with him on those priorities to help move forward One Acre Funds overall strategy. The role has three main parts:

  • Executive-level, strategic communications: We believe well-crafted communication of our strategy is essential to One Acre Funds success. You will reflect the voice of our Executive Director in communications with the most important influencers in the sector and internal audiences. Examples include:
    • Work with our Executive Director to write the concept note for a new strategic initiative to share with important donors.
    • Draft an annual strategy letter to set vision and guidance for internal staff.
  • One-off, fast analyses and tasks: These are analyses and tasks of one week or shorter duration, typically exploring a new strategic direction. For example:
    • Write a memo summarizing the market opportunities for sorghum and millet in East Africa.
    • Recommend a methodology to use Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) to make fair impact comparisons across countries of differing wealth.
      • One Acre Fund-wide initiatives: As we become more complex, there are an increasing number of projects that do not fall cleanly into an existing department. You will move forward essential projects across multiple departments. For example:
        • Build an organization-wide initiative to increase the number of job candidates referred by our staff to satisfy the hiring needs of a fast-growing organization.

      Currently, we are planning for the Office of the CEO to include 1-2 analysts, 1-2 managers, and a director. We are excited about the possibility for this expansion to support professional development opportunities, team support, and an ability to specialize.




      Career growth

      We have a culture of constant learning and we invest in developing our people. Youll 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. Analysts will report to Managers in the Office of the CEO, with frequent interaction with the CEO.




      Qualifications

      We are looking for professionals with 2 or more years of work experience. This is a career-track role, with a two-year minimum. Candidates who fit the following criteria are encouraged to apply:

      • Exceptional written communicator. You can engage a range of audiences, including internal staff, external partners, and organizational leadership.

Program Coordinator at Clinton Health Access InitiativeDeadline:Friday, 31 July 2020

CHAI Overview

The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low-and middle-income countries, while strengthening the capabilities of governments and the private sector in those countries to create and sustain high-quality health systems that can succeed without our assistance. For more information, please visit: http://www.clintonhealthaccess.org

CHAI’s Global Vaccines Delivery Program

Immunization is a powerful tool for saving lives and improving health outcomes globally. Each year, national immunization programs reach 22 million infants in sub-Saharan Africa alone, and since the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) was launched in 1974, two to three million deaths have been averted each year, globally. For every dollar invested in immunization, there is a US$16 return, making it one of the most cost effective public health interventions available. However, despite these tremendous successes, significant gaps still remain, with 2 million children (primarily in lower-income and lower-middle income countries) dying each year from vaccine-preventable diseases, and an estimated 20 million children still under-immunized.Since 2010, the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) has worked to save lives and reduce the burden from vaccine preventable diseases by improving access to immunization services in resource-limited setting. CHAI does this by strengthening national immunization programs at the country level, and leveraging that experience to improve the global immunization ecosystem.

CHAI’s vaccines program closely supports the national immunization programs in 13 focus countries – Cameroon, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Lao PDR, Lesotho, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, Sierra Leone, PNG and Vietnam – and also engages with global stakeholders such as Gavi, WHO and UNICEF to inform global policies and practices.
