The Acumen West Africa team is small, fun and committed and the Business Associate will play two important roles: championing the operational needs of the West Africa team, and providing executive support to the West Africa Director. 

The Global Human Resources Director is expected to become the face of HR, both within One Acre Fund and when liaising with external stakeholders. The main component of this role includes managing and developing a team of 12 globally based HR professionals. The role also encompasses leading a number of strategic HR initiatives that promise to advance our goal of making One Acre Fund the employer of choice in international development.

You will be a critical part of ANDE’s activities on research and impact measurement for the Small and Growing Business sector. You will be working with a small team that handles a wide range of initiatives to identify, collect, and analyze data to create useful resources on how organizations support Small and Growing Businesses, how this support can be implemented effectively, and the impact of this support on social and economic outcomes.

The Director will play an important role on the team, including through New York staff and office management, project and client management, business development, and other key operational functions.

The Senior Analyst is personally and intellectually drawn to The Lemelson Foundation’s mission and is motivated by the opportunity to work across the Foundation as a champion of shared learning, insights, and knowledge management.

The emphasis is on activities and members across Europe, in addition to and within the context of supporting the global organization to achieve its strategic objectives in member engagement and membership growth.

The Relationship Manager for North America is responsible for member retention and membership growth in the region. Members have a variety of interests, so it is critical to understand their unique priorities to develop bespoke plans for connecting them with resources and engaging them in the community.

The Director will be responsible for the delivery and overall success of each program, paying attention to budget and time constraints, collaborating with other team members and outside vendors, and informing senior management on progress and performance.
