About the Role

One Acre launched a new initiative called Smallholder Resilience Ventures (SRV) to capitalize value chains, supporting early stage agribusinesses and increasing climate adaptation. The idea is to combine:

Market Access: Aggregating produce from smallholder farmers, focusing on high value climate friendly crops

Small and Medium Enterprise investments: Investing with debt, equity, and mezzanine and providing technical assistance to companies along the value chain

Venture Studio: Where businesses do not exist, launching new ones.

We hypothesize that by addressing multiple value chain challenges simultaneously (e.g. both inputs and end-markets), we can create a virtuous cycle of increasing profits for farmers and businesses

For SRV, we are looking for a Venture Analyst. You will analyze financial data and market trends to identify potential investments and opportunities for growth for the venture studio's portfolio companies.

You will also work closely with the portfolio companies to identify growth opportunities, develop financial projections and budgets, and to track and report on financial performance. Over time, you will take on more leadership of the venture building process.

The Venture Analyst will report to the Venture Studio Director.

Responsibilities

Support the Venture Studio Director throughout the investment cycle (origination/hypothesis development, investment proposal writing, due diligence, performance monitoring and scaling, portfolio management, and exits).

Post-investment, assess portfolio company needs and provide support

Build and maintain financial projections and valuation models.

Support reporting and the preparation of presentations to investors/ board

Career Growth and Development

We have a strong culture of constant learning and we invest in developing our people. You’ll have weekly check-ins with your manager, access to mentorship and training programs, and regular feedback on your performance.

We hold career reviews every six months, and set aside time to discuss your aspirations and career goals. You’ll have the opportunity to shape a growing organization and build a rewarding long-term career.

Qualifications

Across all roles, these are the general qualifications we look for. For this role specifically, you will have:

3 or more years of work experience in private equity, venture capital, investment banking, or related field.

Bachelor or Master's degree in economics, business, finance, or related field.

Experience with financial and operational due diligence of early-stage businesses, venture building, and strong grasp of financial statements

Ideally, experience in the agricultural sector.

Flexibility - SRV is new, so enjoyment of change and learning quickly
