About IFDC
IFDC is a public international organization active in 27 countries in Africa, Asia, and America. IFDC uniquely approaches the global issues of food security and poverty by bridging the gap between research and impact, combining science-based innovations, holistic market systems development, an enabling policy environment, and strategic partnerships to assist farmers and countries to identify and scale sustainable agricultural solutions, including improved nutrient use efficiency. These approaches are needed to boost soil health and crop productivity while reducing the environmental impact of fertilizer use. IFDC translates research into action by using locally driven, environmentally sound, and impact-oriented solutions. With our partners, we seek to close the yield gap, eradicate global hunger, safeguard the soil on which our lives depend, and generate economic resilience for farming households and the countries in which they live.

  • At least 15 years of professional experience in relevant technical areas, including work in developing or emerging economies, with at least 5 years of leadership experience;

  • Demonstrated expertise in inclusive agriculture, climate-smart agriculture, food security, agribusiness development, or related sectors;

  • Proven experience leading the technical design and formulation of complex, multi-country programs, preferably in Africa;

  • Strong understanding of program design, strategic planning, and MEAL (Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning);

  • Experience supporting organizational growth initiatives, including positioning for new funders or entering new geographies;

  • Demonstrated success in business development, including technical reviews, proposal writing, and evidence-based design;

  • Excellent analytical, organizational, and facilitation skills, with the ability to translate data and insights into actionable recommendations;

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to work independently under tight deadlines in a fast-paced environment;

  • Proficiency in English required; fluency in French is an asset.
