Join the leadership of our People team

An organization is the sum of its People. When we think about the 10-year future of One Acre Fund, one of the most important things is for our work to be led by exceptional, diverse, and satisfied leaders.

If any organization in the world could only get one thing right, what would that be? For us, that’s easy: hiring, retaining, and developing People. To do this, we need experienced leaders who can call people to their banner, multiply the performance of large teams, and shift culture.

Can you see yourself making a difference as part of our People leadership team? You do not necessarily need to have prior People or HR experience - what's most valuable to us is a strategic leader who can drive innovation and results. We often find that leaders who excel at these aspects make great People people.
