About the Role
One Acre Fund Rwanda has an organizational priority to serve young farmers more effectively, by layering new youth-focused interventions on existing program channels.

You will collaborate with a cross-functional team, including the data, Execution, Marketing, Scale and Innovation, Global Impact, Monitoring & Evaluation teams to develop a long-term youth engagement strategy, youth-focused product & services, and to embed a youth focus into One Acre Fund Rwanda’s programmatic decisions. You are expected to collaborate across multiple departments both at the global and in-country levels to advise on the implementation of evidence-based programming targeted at young farmers and gender broadly. You will report to the Product and Strategy Lead.

Minimum Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Sociology, Business or related field.

Preference will be given to candidates with:
Experience using data to support decision-making with senior leadership and implementing teams.
