2011 NGO job oportunities- Programme Manager Position in Kenya
Organization: One Acre Fund
Position: Programme Manager
Location: Western Kenya

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).

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.

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.

- 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.
