myAgro est une entreprise sociale à but non lucratif primée, basée en Afrique de l’Ouest. Nous avons développé un modèle d’épargne mobile qui permet aux agriculteurs d’investir leurs propres fonds dans des semences de haute qualité, des engrais et des formations agricoles afin d’augmenter leurs récoltes et leurs revenus de 50 à 100 %. Notre étoile polaire est d’aider un million d’agriculteurs à sortir de la pauvreté d’ici 2026. Pour en savoir plus, lisez le témoignage du fondateur et PDG de myAgro. Nous avons récemment reçu un prestigieux prix Audacious Prize pour accélérer la portée de myAgro dans les 5 prochaines années. Rejoignez une équipe gagnante qui change la vie des agriculteurs qui travaillent dur en Afrique de l’Ouest.
About the Role :
- We’re looking for an experienced Country Director to lead a dynamic young team across Senegal for myAgro’s next phase of growth.
- You will oversee a team of 300+ people across 1000 villages in Senegal.
- Looking ahead, Senegal will be our primary location for scale, reaching >600,000 farmers in the next 5 years.
- Your role as Country Director is to build out your management team and drive towards operational excellence while improving organizational sustainability and impact per farmer.
- This is not a typical Country Director role! You will have minimal administrative and fundraising responsibilities.
- We need leaders who love getting mud on their boots while they visit farmers’ fields and thinking strategically on how to improve execution at a scale from 60,000 farmers to 600,000.
- We need leaders who think coaching and team development is a core function of their role and love to see their people succeed in new & challenging ways. We need experienced professionals who will help lead myAgro’s strategy and team to greater heights of impact and scale.
- In a country with major climate change effects, poor network connectivity, spotty electricity and relatively low levels of infrastructure and agricultural industry, this is not going to be easy. That’s why we need you.
