About One Acre Fund
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. To learn more, please see our Why Work Here blog post.
The Nigeria program, established in 2018, is headquartered in Minna, Niger state. We're currently serving over 100,000 unique farmers across the state via our inputs on credit 'Core' program, inputs on cash 'Retail' program, and have a free tree seedling distribution 'Agroforestry' program.

About the Role
Seeking a Commercial Strategist (3–5+ years' experience) in agribusiness modelling to scale tree products and drive revenue for smallholder farmers across all markets.
Responsibilities
Revenue Strategy
- Design, iterate, and own the long-term Trees Revenue Strategy, establishing viable monetization pathways
for tree-based products and services. - Develop frameworks to define paid program offerings, pricing structures, delivery mechanisms, and unit economics across diverse farmer segments.
- Build robust financial models to evaluate business viability, margin profiles, and return on investment for
both OAF and participating smallholder farmers. - Explore and pilot alternative revenue streams, such as carbon finance integration, high-value
timber/non-timber product monetization, and fruit aggregation.
Farmer Integration
- Design and execute a cross-selling and conversion strategy targeting a minimum 30% adoption rate of secondary OAF products (credit, cash products, extension, and market aggregation) among Trees program farmers.
- Collaborate with FOPs, Product Innovations, and Market Access units on viable pathways to bundle tree offerings with core agricultural inputs and financial products.
- Map farmer journeys and conversion funnels to identify touchpoints, drop-off risks, and incentive structures that drive cross-unit product adoption.
