Outgrower Program Manager

Are you looking to build something tangible, scalable, and high-impact on the ground? If so, keep reading. We are not looking for theorists—we are looking for experienced operators who understand how to work with farmers, organize field teams, and deliver real results in complex environments.
If you have managed large smallholder networks, built outgrower systems, or led agricultural field operations—and you know what it takes to make these programs actually work—you may be exactly who we are looking for.
Who We Are – A Team That Delivers Results
Green Earth Group is a leading developer of nature-based projects, focused on reforestation, land restoration, biodiversity, and sustainable land use. We work directly with local communities and smallholder farmers to implement projects at scale and generate high-quality environmental assets.
After years of project development, we are now scaling execution. This means building strong field structures, onboarding thousands of farmers, and ensuring consistent delivery across multiple regions.
We are:
Highly operational and execution-focused
Working at the intersection of nature, agriculture, and finance
Scaling rapidly across international markets
Focused on real, measurable impact—not just strategy
What You’ll Be Doing
Our projects depend on strong smallholder execution. This role is responsible for building and running the outgrower system that underpins everything we do.
You will translate project design into field reality.
Design and implement scalable outgrower / smallholder program structures
Build and manage farmer onboarding, registration, and engagement processes
Organize farmers into clusters, cooperatives, or lead-farmer networks
Manage field teams (extension officers, agronomists, local partners)
Ensure consistent implementation of agricultural and land-use practices
Monitor farmer performance, participation, and retention
Identify and mitigate delivery risks early (non-performance, low survival, drop-off)
Work closely with carbon, data, and project teams to ensure alignment between field execution and project requirements
Improve traceability, discipline, and accountability across the farmer network
Requirements
Key Responsibilities
Build and scale a high-performing outgrower system across project regions

Lead and develop local field teams and implementation partners
Ensure operational consistency across multiple geographies
Maintain strong relationships with farmer groups and community stakeholders
Contribute to continuous improvement of field operations and program design
Who We’re Looking For
This is not an entry-level role. We are looking for experienced professionals who have built or managed real-world smallholder or outgrower systems.
Proven experience in outgrower schemes, contract farming, agroforestry, or rural development programs
Strong track record managing large farmer networks (ideally 1,000+ farmers)
Hands-on field experience—this is not a desk-based strategy role
Experience managing and scaling field teams
Strong operational mindset with a focus on execution and delivery
Ability to work in complex, fast-moving environments
Comfortable taking ownership and solving problems independently
Strong communication and leadership skills
Benefits
Competitive Growth Opportunity
Competitive salary based on experience
Opportunity to grow into a senior leadership role as the program scales
Exposure to large-scale international projects
Real-World Impact
Direct involvement in land restoration and nature-based projects
Work with smallholder farmers and local communities
See tangible outcomes of your work on the ground
A Flexible & Performance-Driven Environment
Work with a highly driven, international team
High ownership, low bureaucracy
Flexibility in how you operate—as long as you deliver
