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.
The Senior Product Manager will work with key stakeholders around the business to consolidate requirements for our future technology solutions to enable us to improve our impact and operating efficiency. Over the past couple of years we have focussed on digital technology for our field facing staff and we are now increasing our focus on farmer facing technology. Our farming communities are starting to become increasingly aware of the digital space, the appetite for self serving is growing and we want to provide our clients with useful tools they can use themselves. Apart from the client focussed tools we also have many support functions to help our operations run smoothly and efficiently from logistics to finance and accounting and we continue to invest in those tools in parallel to client facing tools moving away from paper based process to technically supported digital functions.
In order to innovate on how technology can improve service delivery, we need an exceptional individual to play a key role in leading some of our product management initiatives. We are seeking someone with a passion for leveraging technology to do good in the world, and the ability to lead/coordinate across teams and geographies.
