Role Summary

  • Spearhead strategic expansion into Europe.
  • Build profile, network, and fundraising capacity in the Swiss or German market.
  • Secure new donor relationships and grow fundraising portfolio.
  • Collaborate with writing, finance, and program teams.
  • Focus on grant fundraising, stewardship, market strategy, and donor prospecting.

Role Requirements

  • Proven track record of 7-8 figure fundraising results.
  • Strong relevant network.
  • Passion for building new relationships.
  • Annual fundraising targets.
  • Ability to work independently in the target market.

One Acre Fund seeks two entrepreneurial fundraisers to spearhead our strategic expansion into Europe. One position will focus on the Swiss market and the other on the German market. In these roles, you will have the unique opportunity to build our profile, network, and fundraising capacity from the ground up while being supported by an established, high-performing global team. Working closely with our writing, finance, and program teams, your objective will be to secure new donor relationships and grow our fundraising portfolio in one of these key markets. The ideal candidate will have a track record of consistent annual 7-8 figure fundraising results, a strong existing and relevant network, and a passion for helping organizations build new relationships. You will have annual fundraising targets that inform performance assessments. We are looking for someone who enjoys building - and connecting with - their network in an authentic way, every day. If successful, you will help raise the funds to catalyze the next phase of One Acre Fund’s growth, supporting our ambitious 2030 vision to deliver $1B in impact to 10 million smallholder farmers and their families, including 55 million individuals. This role offers a powerful opportunity for personal impact on pressing global challenges. Your skillset and energy will measurably help and sustainably improve the lives of the world's largest population living in extreme poverty. Responsibilities include grant fundraising, grant stewardship, market strategy, spokesperson for farmers, and entity setup and operationalization. The role involves maintaining a focus on the market—Germany or Switzerland—and working independently to build a pipeline of high-net-worth individual and institutional donor prospects.
