Company Description Babban Gona is a high-impact, financially sustainable agricultural social enterprise transforming smallholder farming across Nigeria. Backed by leading global partners, the organization has built a scalable franchise model that helps farmers access quality inputs, financing, training, and markets. This model has enabled smallholder farmers in Northern Nigeria to significantly increase yields and incomes while maintaining a 99% loan repayment rate. Babban Gona has disbursed over $250 million in financing, manages more than 100,000 metric tons of storage capacity, and has cultivated over 200,000 hectares sustainably. With an ambitious vision to reach 50 million smallholder farmers by 2043, Babban Gona is committed to restoring dignity to farming and unlocking prosperity across rural Africa.
Role Description The Sales Career Accelerator Program is a full-time, on-site role based in Nigeria designed for individuals seeking to build a long-term career in sales within a mission-driven organization. Participants will engage in daily field activities, including meeting with prospective and existing smallholder farmers, explaining Babban Gona’s value propositions, and supporting farmer enrollment into relevant programs. The role involves conducting market visits, gathering customer insights, and contributing to sales strategies that drive farmer participation and growth. Team members will collaborate closely with operations and marketing colleagues to ensure high-quality customer experience, accurate documentation, and achievement of sales targets. The program includes structured training, performance coaching, and exposure to leadership opportunities to help participants develop strong sales, communication, and problem-solving capabilities.
