About FarmSmarter

FarmSmarter is building practical digital tools to help smallholder farmers improve productivity, reduce crop losses, make better farming decisions and access stronger market opportunities.

Our platform is designed for real farming conditions, including low connectivity, variable digital confidence and the need for trusted, locally relevant farming support.

About the role

We are recruiting a Junior Growth Marketing Executive to support FarmSmarter’s growth activity in Nigeria.

This is not a digital marketing role. It is a practical, people-facing role focused on farmer outreach, community engagement, training coordination, local publicity and relationship-building with agricultural businesses.

The successful candidate will help FarmSmarter engage farmers directly, organise training and onboarding activities, support local field activation, build links with agro-dealers and agri-businesses, and gather useful feedback from farming communities.

This role would suit an early-career professional who is confident speaking with people, well organised, interested in agriculture and motivated by practical impact.

Key responsibilities

You will:

• Engage farmer groups, cooperatives, agro-dealers, input suppliers, market actors, farming associations and local agricultural networks.
• Support farmer training sessions, product demonstrations, onboarding events and community meetings.
• Explain FarmSmarter clearly using approved scripts, messages and training materials.
• Support outreach to commercial agri-businesses, including input suppliers, produce buyers, distributors, service providers and marketplace partners.
• Help build trust, awareness and adoption of FarmSmarter in farming communities.
• Collect feedback from farmers and partners, including common questions, concerns and barriers to adoption.
• Support local publicity through radio mentions, community announcements, WhatsApp groups, stakeholder introductions and event promotion.
• Keep clear records of outreach activity, contacts, follow-ups, training attendance, farmer sign-ups and partner conversations.
• Support ambassadors, field contacts and community champions where required.
• Provide simple reports on outreach progress, user engagement, partner interest and community feedback.

What we are looking for

Essential

• 1–2 years’ experience in community engagement, field marketing, agricultural outreach, sales support, training coordination, communications or mobilisation.
• Strong verbal communication skills and confidence speaking with farmers, community members and local stakeholders.
• Good organisational skills and reliable follow-up.
• Interest in agriculture, food systems, technology, rural development or impact-led business.
• Comfortable using WhatsApp, phone calls, spreadsheets and basic digital tools.
• Willingness to travel locally for outreach, training and community engagement.
• Ability to work well in a small, fast-moving team.

Desirable

• Experience working with farmers, agro-dealers, cooperatives, agricultural associations or rural communities in Nigeria.
• Experience organising training sessions, field demonstrations, community meetings or product activation events.
• Experience in agricultural sales, extension support, NGO fieldwork or grassroots campaigns.
• Familiarity with smallholder farming realities in Nigeria.
• Ability to speak one or more Nigerian languages relevant to farming communities.

What success looks like

Success in this role means helping FarmSmarter build visibility, trust and adoption among farmers and agricultural partners in Nigeria.

You will be expected to organise outreach activity reliably, support well-attended training sessions, follow up with farmers and partners, maintain accurate records, help convert interest into sign-ups, and share useful field feedback with the wider team.

Why join FarmSmarter?

FarmSmarter is a mission-led agritech company supporting smallholder farmers with practical, accessible technology.

You will join a small but growing team, gain hands-on experience in agricultural growth and community outreach, and contribute to work with real-world impact.
