FinAgra is looking for an experienced Lead Agronomist to take ownership of agronomic performance across our farming operations in Kenya. We are looking for someone who has previously worked as a Chief Agronomist, Head Agronomist, or in a similar senior role on a commercial farm, with strong hands-on experience in open-field crops. This is not an advisory role. We need someone who has been directly responsible for crops in the field — making decisions throughout the season, leading agronomy and farm teams, solving problems as they arise, and being accountable for yield and crop quality. You will also have an opportunity to shape the technology FinAgra is building to manage farming operations at scale, working directly with our Product and Technology teams.

FinAgra's REP (Rural Entrepreneurial Partner) onboarding journey happens on the candidate's phone, mostly over WhatsApp, but a real person is always behind the scenes. The REP Onboarding & Field Coordination Operator guides each candidate through onboarding, from the first welcome to the handover to the Head of REP Program. The role also holds the office end of field operations, planning schedules, coordinating transport, and ensuring field data is captured.
