Impact Officer at Sagad Farms Limited

Role Overview 

• The Impact Officer will lead the monitoring, evaluation, and amplification of the social, economic, and environmental outcomes of Sagad’s Backward Integration Project. This is not just about data — it’s about designing and tracking what lasting change we are creating across rural livelihoods, supplier ecosystems, land use, and long-term food sovereignty. 
• You will be at the core of transformation, responsible for ensuring that the project’s impact is not only measurable — but deeply meaningful. 

Key Responsibilities 

Impact Strategy & Framework Development

•  Co-create a tailored Impact Measurement Framework aligned with backward integration goals (e.g., rural employment, supplier growth, local sourcing metrics, community income levels, land stewardship). 
• Align impact indicators with both internal benchmarks and global sustainability goals (e.g., SDGs, ESG principles). 

Data Collection & Performance Tracking 

• Design simple, field-ready tools to collect accurate data across farms, processors, and supplier networks. 
• Monitor key metrics: number of women farmers onboarded, quality/yield improvements, farmer income growth, land-use shifts, and environmental practices. 
• Work with field officers and farm leads to ensure consistent, ethical, and verifiable data capture. 

Reporting & Decision Support

•  Produce clear, insightful monthly and quarterly Impact Reports that inform the leadership’s strategic decisions.
•  Highlight both progress and blind spots — ensuring real-time feedback loops for course correction and momentum. 

Stakeholder Engagement & Visibility 

• Support stakeholder communications — including donor/investor updates, government compliance reporting, and community outreach. 
• Translate complex data into visual storytelling for presentations, case studies, and public-facing updates. 

Capacity Building & Sustainability Integration 

• Train and support women farmers in best practices for sustainability, record-keeping, and scalable farming models. 
• Collaborate with the sustainability and operations teams to embed regenerative agriculture, ethical labor, and resource efficiency across the supply chain. 

Key Requirements 

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Agricultural Economics, Social Impact, Rural Development, Environmental Science, or related field. 
• Minimum 2–5 years experience in Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E), social impact, or sustainability — preferably in agricultural or rural development sectors. 
• Fieldwork experience — must be comfortable in on-ground rural environments and supplier-facing roles. 
• Strong command of data collection methods, report writing, and storytelling through impact. 
• Bonus: Familiarity with backward integration or agricultural value chain systems. 
• Proficient in digital tools: Google Sheets/Excel, PowerPoint, or basic M&E platforms.
