From One Acre Fund's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
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.

You will play a critical role at the intersection of Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A), accounting, fundraising, and program delivery. You will provide financial leadership across a complex, multi-country portfolio of grants and funding partnerships, helping One Acre Fund make sound decisions about how we raise, allocate, and deploy resources.
You will partner closely with fundraising, program, country finance, accounting, and leadership teams, from evaluating new funding opportunities and developing budgets through implementation, forecasting, reporting, and assurance. You will be expected to go beyond the numbers: understand the underlying business and program drivers, challenge assumptions, identify risks and opportunities, and translate financial analysis into practical recommendations.
This role suits someone who enjoys solving ambiguous problems and thinking on their feet. Grant requirements can vary significantly between funders, while program plans and organizational priorities evolve rapidly. You will need to exercise judgment, work with incomplete information, ask the right questions, and find pragmatic solutions without compromising financial discipline or compliance.
While experience with grants or the development sector is useful, we are equally interested in candidates from FP&A, audit, financial advisory, consulting, or other complex financial environments who can bring strong analytical and problem-solving skills to the role.
In this role, success will mean more than accurate reports and compliant grants. You will:
Become a trusted financial thought partner to fundraising, program, finance, and leadership teams.
Improve the quality of financial analysis supporting funding and resource-allocation decisions.
Ensure grant budgets and forecasts are realistic, well understood, and actively used to manage performance.
Identify financial and operational risks early and help teams respond before they become significant issues.
Build scalable systems, processes, and team capabilities that strengthen financial management as the organization grows.
