TechnoServe

PEN 70,000 - 100,000

Everyone deserves the opportunity to build a better future. This simple idea has been at the heart of TechnoServe’s work around the world for over 50 years. TechnoServe is a pioneer in leveraging the power of business and markets to create sustainable pathways out of poverty.

The low-income communities in which we work are full of enterprising people. Their small-scale farms and businesses are the keys to economic development. But they face many challenges: low literacy, lack of access to jobs and markets, unpredictable political dynamics and, increasingly, the effects of climate change. Without resources to combat threats like volatile weather patterns, worsening natural disasters, and crop and livestock diseases, these small-scale producers face lower incomes and higher risks as they struggle to earn a good living.

TechnoServe is meeting this challenge with a bold commitment to help create a people-, nature-, and climate-positive world. Our Regenerate 30 initiative launched at COP27 aims to achieve the following impact by 2030: 30 million people with increased resilience, 30 million tons of CO2e mitigated or sequestered, 30 million acres of land under sustainable management or improved conservation, and $300 million in private sector investment. The initiative will drive over $1 billion in financial benefits for smallholder farmers and businesses.

Program Overview:

The donor has made a corporate commitment of protecting and regenerating 1.5 million hectares of land, forests, and oceans by 2030 and has partnered with TechnoServe to deploy the Regenerative Agriculture Program, inspiring and supporting farmers and agribusinesses to engage in the journey towards regenerative production systems.

This global program, funded through 2027, is an opportunity to work with a leading company to demonstrate there is a future for a better, low carbon, biodiverse, and profitable approach to farming. The program will work together with the donor’s suppliers across countries and a variety of food ingredients and will make meaningful contributions to TechnoServe’s Regenerate 30 impact goals.

Job Summary:

TechnoServe seeks a Program Director to lead our partnership with the donor to drive the transition towards regenerative farming models across countries and commodities in their sourcing footprint. The Program Director will oversee program implementation, ensuring achievement of impact goals and alignment with donor global priorities, suppliers, and with the business case.

Primary Functions & Responsibilities:

1. Leading overall implementation and management of the program, from inception to close-out
2. Providing strategic guidance, leadership, management, and general technical oversight of the program, with an unwavering commitment to delivering results through partnership
3. Managing implementation of the program including the design of the work plan and ensuring successful execution of program activities.
4. Recruiting, leading, managing, and supervising implementation teams across countries, including implementing partners, technical organizations, and service providers
5. Fostering collaboration, learning, and adaptive management to inform decision-making, communicate with stakeholders, and drive impact
6. Serving as a liaison and driving shared vision and strategy among the donor, farmers and agribusinesses, and other key partners
7. Maintaining strong relationships with the donor’s suppliers, providing strategic influencing to ensure collaboration and ownership
8. Ensuring that program outcomes and deliverables are completed on time, within budget, and in compliance with donor and TechnoServe requirements
9. Ensuring that all budgets and expenses are carried out according to both donor and TechnoServe’s policies and regulations
10. Managing contracts, sub-awards, procurement, and payment processes in compliance with organizational policies and donor requirements.
11. Identifying co-funding donor prospects and cultivating donor relationships

3. Experience in contract management, procurement, and compliance with donor regulations and requirements.
4. Experience working in complex and challenging environments
5. Experience in establishing systems and overseeing program start-up under limited time and budget constraints as well as program close-out
