Graphic Designer

By Live Lover -
Wanted
Extraordinary candidate with 2+ years of work experience in web and/or print design.

Job Location
Nairobi strongly preferred (other major East African cities considered).

Duration
Minimum two year's commitment, full-time job.

Organization Description
Most of the world's poor are farmers, representing the largest and most uniform group of poor people in the world. One Acre Fund is a start–up NGO in Kenya, Rwanda, and Burundi that is innovating a new way of helping farm families to achieve their full potential. Instead of giving handouts, One Acre invests in farmers to generate a permanent gain in farm income. We provide farmers with a "market bundle" that includes education, finance, seed and fertilizer, and market access. Our program is proven impactful – every year, we weigh thousands of harvests and measure more than 100% average gain in farm income per acre. We have laser–like focus on generating better lives for the people that we serve.

Job Description
The graphic designer will work closely with our field, government services, communications, and fundraising teams to produce both field-facing and external-facing materials for One Acre Fund. Our rapid growth means we are quickly expanding into new venues of communication and marketing, from marketing materials for smallholder farmers interested in joining One Acre Fund, to training materials for African government to distribute through their national extension system. Unlike many in-house graphic design positions, which focus solely on creating materials to market an organization externally, this role will also help create a range of custom materials to support our government services team, which partners directly with African governments to increase the impact of their work with smallholder farmers. The graphic designer will set a clear, consistent and professional tone in our visual media that helps a wide variety of audiences best understand how One Acre Fund works to put farmers first.

Primary duties of the job will include:
  • Designing custom materials to support our government services team, including planting guides, checklists, and training materials
  • Designing informational materials and advertisements for the field operations team to distribute to One Acre Fund farmers
  • Designing infographics and visual aids to help make One Acre Fund’s program model and operations more accessible to a wider audience
  • Designing and determining the layout and functions of new pages for our website
  • Helping determine One Acre Fund branding strategies for marketing both internally and externally
  • Training sessions with local headquarters marketing teams on the basics of design and layout

Qualifications
We are looking for truly extraordinary candidates that will help take our organization to the next levels of impact and scale. This is a competitive posting for a career-track role with minimum initial commitment of two years. Candidates who fit the following criteria are strongly encouraged to apply:
  • Demonstrated creativity and polished design skills (presented in a portfolio)
  • Bold vision that is capable of being translated and scaled into the visual branding of One Acre Fund
  • 2+ years of work experience in web and/or print design
  • Strong ability to collaborate and work in a team
  • Proficient in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and In Design or equivalent programs
  • Leadership experience at work, or outside of work
  • Humility and personal stability. We have a fantastic and likeable team. We are looking for passionate professionals that combine strong leadership skills with good humor, patience, and a humble approach to service.
  • A willingness to commit to living in Nairobi, Kenya, for at least two years
  • Hard worker. We are looking for a self-motivated person who will consistently put in 100% performance for our farmers.
  • Language: English required

Preferred Start Date
Flexible.

Benefits
Health cover, immunizations, flight, room and board.

Career Development
Quarterly management consulting-style career reviews and constant feedback. Your manager will invest significant time in your career development.

To Apply
  1. Complete this form.
  2. Email cover letter and resume to jobs@oneacrefund.org (Subject line: "Graphic Designer Search" + name of the site that referred you).
  3. Submit a portfolio of 5 samples of your top work, in a format that allows for easy viewing and download of high-res files. Please include samples that illustrate your design ability across multiple styles and mediums. If possible, at least 2 of the samples should be print pieces (including but not limited to brochures, newsletters, magazine spreads, other marketing materials, etc).
