Background
About TechnoServe
Everyone deserves the opportunity to build a better future. This simple idea has been at the heart of TechnoServe’s work around the world for over 50 years. TechnoServe is a pioneer in leveraging the power of business and markets to create sustainable pathways out of poverty.
The low-income communities in which we work are full of enterprising people. Their small-scale farms and businesses are the keys to economic development. But they face many challenges: low literacy, lack of access to jobs and markets, unpredictable political dynamics and, increasingly, the effects of climate change. For many women and young people, the challenges are even more daunting. Working with TechnoServe staff, people around the world are lifting themselves out of poverty. The results are amazing...when incomes increase and living conditions for families get better, they are able to access health care and education previously out of reach. Communities and even whole countries are better off.
We recognize and appreciate the value of a diverse workforce. We are a team of nearly 2,000 individuals working across 29 countries - over 95% of our staff are from the countries in which they work. We have varied talents, backgrounds, personal histories, and worldviews. As such, TechnoServe encourages diversity in all levels and across all facets of our organization. Diversity, equity, and inclusion is at the heart of what we do.
About the Strategic Initiatives Team
Working with Nespresso to revive the coffee sector in Puerto Rico after the devastation of Hurricane Maria. Developing online learning tools to digitize ecommerce retailers in partnership with Mastercard. Collaborating with Danone, Walmart, and strawberry farmers in Mexico to enable sustainable, regenerative production. Partnering with Anglo American and the Inter-American Development bank to create jobs across Peru, Chile, and Brazil - a program that was named one of five finalists for the P3 Impact Award for public-private partnerships. These are recent examples of projects overseen by TechnoServe’s Strategic Initiatives team, as we partner with multinational corporations to use business solutions to solve poverty.
The Strategic Initiatives team aims to increase farmer and micro and small business revenues by $1 billion by 2026 through the development of solutions that will increase the incomes of hundreds of thousands of people in the world's poorest places. We currently seek skilled, motivated, passionate individuals to join our team to help make this ambitious goal a reality.

More About TechnoServe
Established in 1968, TechnoServe works with enterprising people in the developing world to build competitive farms, businesses and industries. We are a U.S. based non-profit that develops business solutions to poverty by linking people to information, capital and markets. Our work is rooted in the idea that hardworking people can generate income, jobs and wealth for their families and communities, when they are empowered with the right knowledge and access to markets. We operate in 30 countries across Africa, Latin America, as well as in India, and have a global team of 1,300 individuals, more than 90% of whom are host country nationals.
TechnoServe is highly focused on corporate partnerships, one of the central pillars of our strategy. Revenues from corporations account for 25% of our ~$90M global revenues. As such, TechnoServe has a dedicated Strategic Initiatives Team (15 individuals across U.S. and UK) focused on supporting corporate partners develop inclusive supply chains in emerging markets. This team combines strategic expertise from the private sector – team members are recruited from top-tier strategy consultancy firms such as McKinsey, BCG, Bain - with practical, grounded knowledge based on working in emerging markets.
The Strategic Initiatives Team works with corporate partners to design their inclusive supply chain and local economic development objectives and to quantify the practical business case for what it would take to deliver. We often then work with our partners as an implementing partner on the ground. The team currently manages TechnoServe’s global relationships with Partner, Anglo American, Walmart, ABInBev, Syngenta, The Coca Cola Company, Cargill, John Deere, Kellogg’s, Visa, Mastercard, Mars, and Unilever.
