Seeking a commercially minded agribusiness leader to build Tanzania’s market access portfolio, starting with cashews, by developing viable pathways for processing, aggregation, value addition, and market development. Are you a strategic leader with a passion for building market systems that work for smallholder farmers? This is a senior role at the heart of OAF Tanzania's commercial ambition. You will define and lead the organisation's market access strategy and portfolio, deciding which value chains to prioritise, shaping the commercial model for each, and building the partnerships needed to make them viable. You will lead a team delivering both farmer-facing and commercial workstreams, bringing together strategy, commercial design, field delivery, and partner execution into a coherent and scalable portfolio. This is not a hands-on field role, but it demands enough operational depth to guide execution effectively and ensure that every moving part connects. You will need to move comfortably between high-level strategic thinking and the practical realities of delivery. If you are ready to shape how smallholder farmers access markets at scale, we would love to hear from you.
