Your Profile

With your passion for agriculture, social science, rural development, forestry and conservation, you aim to leverage your knowledge, experience and appetite for technology to generate positive impact in these areas and address the global challenges of our time.

Being an intellectual pioneer who is meticulous, detail-focused and with a continuous improvement mindset, you like when things are done well. You have an analytical background and thrive on devel-oping reliable tools to facilitate data management, ultimately enabling your colleagues to work more efficiently. A self-starting and independent person with genuine curiosity and willingness to learn from others, you enjoy working with team members across countries and functions, but you also take initiative whenever the opportunity arises.

With excellent interpersonal skills, outstanding communication and a helpful, supportive attitude, you naturally animate sessions with a variety of stakeholders to work on diverse and sometimes complex projects.

Strong project management skills are a necessity, as are demonstrable advanced Excel skills (in-cluding VBA) and Tableau skills.
