2011 NGO job oportunities- Programme Manager Position in Kenya

Organization:             One Acre Fund
Position:                      Programme Manager
Location:                    Western Kenya
Background -One Acre Fund
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 start-up NGO in Kenya, Rwanda, and Burundi that is innovating a new way of helping farm families to achieve their full potential. Instead of giving handouts, One Acre 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.

Programme Manager Job Description
We are seeking exceptional professionals with 4-6 years work experience for our program manager role, and demonstrated interest and experience in international development (i.e. 1 year+ living in a developing nation). They will serve in a career-track position that combines both field and management experience in Africa. As a young organization, we are ready to hand over large responsibility for specific, well-defined work modules, with similar structure to an operations consulting role.
Projects will be focused on improvements to One Acre Fund's program model - as opposed to day-to-day operations, which are operated by our country staff. The typical program manager leads several major projects, and several smaller ones - typically projects with higher degree of difficulty.

Qualifications
We are looking for somebody truly extraordinary for the program manager role. This is an extremely competitive posting for a business/ management-style position. Fewer than 5% make of applicants make it to a phone screen. Therefore, please only apply if you fit these criteria:
  • Demonstrated interest and experience in international development, requiring at least one year of living in a developing nation.
  • A willingness to commit to living in rural areas of East Africa for at least two years, minimum. This is a permanent, career-track role with no anticipated return to your home country.
  • Top-performing undergraduate background (include GPA and test scores on your resume)
  •  Strong work experiences. Examples include professional work experience, or some kind of successful entrepreneurial experience (e.g. starting a field program in a developing country, leading a conference, starting a business, peace corps)
  •   Leadership experience at work, or outside of work
  • No ego or drama. We are all stable people who are fun to be around. We are looking for others that combine strong leadership skills with a humble approach to service
  • Nice to have: Kiswahili a plus; Kinyrwandan or French required for Rwanda. English required.
 Preferred Start Date: Flexible
 Compensation: Starts very modest. However, this is a career-track role with fast raises for performance, eventually paying a real and livable salary for a long-term placement in developing nations.
 Benefits: Health cover, immunizations, flight, room and board. Two annual home flights provided.
 Career development: Quarterly management consulting-style career reviews, and significant investment in career development. Your manager will invest significant time in your career development.
