  • Serve as the primary analyst for specific data domains (e.g. Finance, People, Supply Chain, etc.).
  • Deeply understand business processes and logic within those domains.
  • Own the full delivery of dashboards and data analytics products: make prioritization decisions, understand user needs, wireframe and design outputs, own delivery and iteration.
  • Partner closely with Data Engineers to ensure business rules are embedded in the warehouse and semantic layer.
  • Clearly communicate data limitations and ensure metric consistency.
  • Contribute to and help lead a community of practice for embedded analysts.
  • Codify and uphold standards for dashboard design, documentation, governance, and metric definition.
  • Support adoption of best practices in BI development and data storytelling.

  • Strong SQL skills; working knowledge of Python or R preferred.
  • Experience building automated data workflows and scalable dashboards in BI tools (Superset, Power BI, Dataiku preferred).
  • User-Centric Data Design: Proven ability to practice stakeholder empathy moving beyond simple requirements-gathering to deeply understand the operational context of our users
  • Understanding of data modeling concepts and semantic layers.
  • Ability to translate complex business logic into clear, usable data products.
  • Experience with data storytelling and communicating insights to diverse audiences.
  • English fluency. Other useful languages are Swahili, Kinyarwanda, Kirundi, and French

About One Acre Fund

One Acre Fund is an agricultural service provider that supports Africa's smallholder farmers to build resilient communities.

More than 50 million families in Sub-Saharan Africa earn a living from small farms, which produce 80 percent of the continent’s food. But harvests still lag far behind the rest of the world. We supply the financing and training these farmers need to grow their way out of hunger and build lasting pathways to prosperity.

Instead of giving handouts, we invest in farmers to help them increase their yields and their profits. When farmers become more productive, they help feed healthy communities and create thriving economies.
