  • Internal Consulting Team Extern

    Internal Consulting Team Extern

    About The Role

    One Acre Fund is hiring on a rolling basis for short-term (6-12 months) externship roles beginning immediately. These roles offer exposure to a rapidly growing social enterprise in a dynamic East African economy, along with opportunity for regional travel for interactions in the field. These opportunities would be ideal for those candidates looking to apply rigorous analytical skills, business acumen, and solid interpersonal skills developed in prior professional experiences in the service of social impact.

    Responsibilities

    Externs will be matched against a number of areas of both organizational priority and personal interest. Here’s a summary of projects that our current extern, Khalyani Sankar, has worked on:

    Duka logistics: In Kenya, One Acre Fund’s new rural retail channel (dukas) are aiming to scale very rapidly, expanding the number of shops 8x over the course of one year, and therefore needed a more sophisticated logistics system. They were previously using a point-of-sale system that was not connected with broader warehouse management systems, and had to rely on manual google sheet tools. Khalyani supported them with finding the right tech solution (a supplemental module of One Acre Fund’s existing ERP system) and developed a roadmap to fully shift to using the tool.

    Board materials: Khalyani collaborated with One Acre Fund’s Managing Director and other senior leaders to prepare materials and communications for three board meetings; One Acre Fund’s US governing board, as well as our UK and Dutch fundraising boards. Developed a new Executive Director report shared in advance with board members, and powerpoint presentations for the meetings to communicate key strategic priorities and solicit input on critical organizational decisions. Also, joined and took minutes during the board meetings.

    People data: Khalyani led the large-scale data migration effort for the org-wide shift to a unified HR data system. Previously, field staff HR data was housed in a separate system from HQ staff data, and the data quality and structure was inconsistent, and difficult to analyze. Restructured and cleaned historical HR data for 8 countries across job information and compensation (15k+ staff and originally 1m+ rows of data) to be migrated into the new system, and collaborated with local HR teams to institute standardized HR data change processes.

    Career Growth and Development

    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.

    Qualifications

    Across all roles in the organization, these are the general qualifications we look for. Candidates who fit the following specific criteria are encouraged to apply:

    Strong work experiences: candidates with a proven track record of solving complex, ambiguous problems in a structured way (e.g., management consultants, research managers, business analysts). Ideally 2-4 years of prior experience in a challenging work environment.
    Functional flexibility: candidates with an entrepreneurial mindset and the ability to hit the ground running and start adding value quickly upon taking up a new rotational role.
    Logical thinker & comfort with analysis. We are looking for someone who is a structured thinker and can use quantitative analysis to create insights and inform recommendations
    Strong executive-level verbal communication skills: the ability to quickly identify what matters and communicate that clearly and concisely to C-suite and team members

    Strategy Manager, Internal Consulting Team

    About the Role
    We are looking for professionals experienced in management/strategy consulting and project management who are dedicated to social impact to join One Acre Fund’s Internal Consulting Team (ICT). ICT supports One Acre Fund teams at important junctures where extra analytical, project management, or implementation resources could have a meaningful impact. Above all we are looking for accomplished professionals who can deliver high-quality, high-value work and successfully support teams across the organization on a wide range of project types.
    Responsibilities

    Shaping One Acre Fund’s expansion strategy – To help One Acre Fund hit its ambitious farmer growth targets, two analysts were challenged to develop a rigorous and scalable approach to program expansion that could be rolled out across all countries. This new approach involved field survey design and analysis, financial modeling, and a political and security risk assessment. The work was adopted by in-country Field Operations teams and is bringing OAF closer to achieving its 2020 target of reaching one million farmers.
    Conducting a Kenya program health check-up – A manager conducted a “health check-up” of our Kenya program to identify risks to that program’s goals, independently examining several programmatic areas including management quality, hiring standards, and team culture and morale, and suggesting possible resolutions. The final prioritized list of synthesized takeaways and recommendations gave the Kenya leadership team additional visibility into program pain points, and helped improve the program’s overall efficiency while having a positive influence on staff experience.
    ICT Managers can be staffed on projects across our 8 country programs (though travel is up to project specifications and staffer preference). Managers manage anywhere from 1-3 projects at any given time, typically launching important initiatives across multiple countries, managing the roll out of high-priority programs in several departments, and supporting leadership working groups. In their role, Managers are expected to take full ownership from planning through execution and follow-up.
    For the projects of their direct reports, Managers may also provide project scoping or quality assurance support. ICT Managers also play an important role in project sourcing and resourcing, along with team culture and professional development. They regularly meet with the Director of the team to discuss project pipeline, staffer allocation, team needs and satisfaction. They also are typically responsible for at least one team-specific initiative, alongside the Analysts.

Youll have weekly check-ins with your manager, access to mentorship and training programs, and regular feedback on your performance.

    We look for the ability to take a complex question, identify the most efficient route to a useful solution, and structure the work into manageable milestones and to work independently
    We look for experience managing and coaching junior project staff to achieve high-quality work
    We also look for additional leadership experience, in or outside of work, in roles that involve influencing the decisions and behaviors of peers, senior leaders, and external parties (bonus for previous work experience directly serving executive-level leadership)
    Professional/technical skills
    ICT team members are expected to have advanced proficiency in both Excel (can perform complex functions) and PowerPoint (can develop compelling slide decks for various audiences)
    Managers have demonstrated experience in project management, capacity building, and professional development of others
    Outstanding responsiveness to feedback: we firmly believe that ability to act on both positive and constructive feedback is the fastest way to grow.
