Organization
Description

Most of the world’s
poor are farmers, representing the largest and most uniform group of poor
people in the world. One Acre Fund is a growing NGO in Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi,
and Tanzania that is innovating a new way of helping farm families to achieve
their full potential. Instead of giving handouts, One Acre Fund invests in
farmers to generate a permanent gain in farm income. We provide farmers with a
“market bundle” that includes education, finance, seed and
fertilizer, and market access. Our program is proven impactful – every year, we
weigh thousands of harvests and measure 50-100% average gain in farm income per
acre. We have laser-like focus on generating better lives for the people that
we serve.

We are growing
quickly. In eight years, we have grown to serve 180,000 farm families with more
than 2000 full-time field staff. Our approach has won widespread validation,
winning grants from The MasterCard Foundation and Gates Foundation.

rapidly growing organization and increasingly needs operational support for
that growth. We are looking for someone to lead support for all of our
countries of operation in security, health, emergency procedures, and

emergency, will monitor security incidents and threats and communicate these to
country teams as appropriate, will develop networks of security and health
contacts across countries, and will work closely with the HR team to maintain
databases of emergency and health information on staff in East Africa.

Leadership: You will be responsible for developing the organization’s strategy

assistance in the event of any security or health incident or emergency
affecting staff.

organizations similar to One Acre Fund, in order to share best practices and
knowledge in these areas.

· Building
resources: You will first build and strengthen our existing resources, also
ensuring they are properly maintained and updated. Your work will also expand
to create new resources for vehicles, health, and security as you deem
necessary for the safety of all staff.

The International
Safety Coordinator will be a member of the Corporate Operations department in
East Africa. Currently, the Corporate Operations team consists of 6
international staff and 30+ local staff in 4 countries. In the next two to
three years the team will grow to 10+ international staff and 100+ local staff
