About the Role
The Agronomy Specialist will sit with the Innovations Department, the driving force behind improving One Acre Fund's programs, products, and services to farmers.
The Specialist will lead the design of the department's product research and trials, managing a team of Trial Officers, Managers, and Coordinators. These trials are often conducted in collaboration with farmers in their fields across all regions of One Acre Fund operation in Nigeria.
You will also oversee the analysis of all Innovations trial data and finalize the impact models for each individual product in consideration. This is influential in deciding what is offered to the smallholder farmers that we serve.
You will require at least 20% time observing and supervising field activities/farmers with the remaining time spent designing research/trials, planning, calendaring, coordinating with other departments, creating materials, analyzing results, and preparing reports or recommendations.
You will report directly to the Innovations Lead.

We have a strong culture of constant learning and we invest in developing our people. You'll have weekly check-ins with your manager, access to mentorship and training programs, and regular feedback on your performance. We hold career reviews every six months and set aside time to discuss your aspirations and career goals. You'll have the opportunity to shape a growing organization and build a rewarding long-term career.
