Nigeria Innovations Adoption and Scaling Specialist (Fixed-Term) One Acre Fund
• 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.
We started working in Nigeria in 2018, serving just 150 farmers. That figure grew year on year, and we now serve more than 300,000 farmers across three regions in Niger State: Minna, Mokwa, and Iseyin.
This role oversees product and service trials that enhance farmer livelihoods and program income. The core of the job is product innovation and trial management, supported by strong human-centred design skills that can be applied where relevant.

Field Execution & Research: Lead market research and Social & Behaviour Change (SBC) campaigns, overseeing qualitative methods (FGDs, interviews) and prototype testing to validate farmer needs.
Team Supervision: Manage and develop a team of field officers and managers, providing technical training in HCD and ensuring high-fidelity execution of trial protocols.
Data Analysis & Synthesis: Conduct quantitative analysis using STATA or R, triangulating numerical data with qualitative behavioural insights to refine impact models.
