Founded in 2006, One Acre Fund equips 5.5 million smallholder farmers to make their farms more productive. Across nine countries that together are home to two-thirds of Africa's farmers, we provide high-quality farm supplies, tree seedlings, accessible credit, modern agronomic training, and a wide range of other agricultural services. On average, this model enables any farmer to increase their income and assets on supported land by more than 35 percent, while permanently improving their resilience. This is all made possible by our team of 9,000+ full-time staff, drawn from diverse backgrounds and professions. To learn more, please see our Why Work Here blog post.
Our Tanzania program, founded in 2013, supports more than 100,000 farmers with quality farm supplies, as well as fruit trees. Our team in Tanzania is headquartered in Iringa and supported by three smaller offices Mbeya and Njombe in the southern highlands, and Moshi in the north where the team is focused on expanding our services to new clients. One Acre Fund works in select areas in the Iringa and Mbeya regions, with a growing presence in the country’s north.
Are you a strategic commercial leader with a passion for building market systems that work for smallholder farmers?
This is a senior role at the heart of OAF Tanzania's commercial ambition. Reporting directly to the Country Director, you will define and lead the organization's market access strategy and portfolio—deciding which value chains to prioritize, shaping the commercial model for each, and building the partnerships needed to make them viable. Initial priority value chains include cashew and avocado.
In practice, this role is roughly two-thirds commercial and analytical design, and one-third strategic leadership. You will own business cases, margin analysis, and commercial negotiations directly, while driving farmer-facing field delivery indirectly through a established layer of specialists, coordinators, and supervisors.
If you are ready to build commercially viable value chains that transform smallholder farmer incomes at scale, we would love to hear from you.
