About One Acre Fund

Founded in 2006, One Acre Fund equips 5.5 million smallholder farmers to make their farms more productive.

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.

About the Role

One Acre Fund is seeking a forward-thinking Data Analyst & Salesforce Administrator to help architect the next phase of our fundraising infrastructure. As we support thousands of donor records and institutional grants with complex global integrations, this role will be the engine of our technical evolution.

This is not a traditional administrative role. You will be a key technical partner in the CRM Group, focused on optimizing our Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud (NPC) environment, improving our data quality across thousands of donor records, automating manual workflows, and ensuring our data architecture provides a clear, high-definition picture of our global impact. This role has the potential to evolve over time into that of a system architect, ensuring that One Acre Fund's donor data strategy aligns with our future growth and CRM evolution.
