Job Description
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.
The Field Operations Department supports the implementation of the One Acre Fund program in the field through a cascading team structure that reaches thousands of field agents. These agents work closely with farmers and deliver Tubura’s core services, including training, credit management, and organizing product distribution at the hill level.
As a Field Operations Associate within this department, you will have the opportunity to learn from large-scale field operations while contributing to continuous program improvement. The role includes two main components: operational management and innovation at scale.

These teams proactively remove barriers to scale across a wide range of areas, processing millions of payments made by farmers, communicating with farmers through tens of millions of SMS messages, recruiting hundreds of new staff each year, and physically transporting more than 20,000 tons of agricultural inputs to various delivery sites.
