The Role


As Farm Manager, you will own the day-to-day running of our agriculture farm in Uganda — from land preparation and planting through to harvest and post-harvest operations. You'll lead field teams, manage budgets and resources, and drive the rollout of regenerative practices including soil regeneration, agroforestry, carbon farming, and water-conservation systems. This is a hands-on leadership role based full-time on the farm.

- Plan, organize, and supervise all farm activities: land preparation, planting, irrigation, crop maintenance, harvesting, and post-harvest handling.



- Develop seasonal cropping plans aligned to farm objectives and market demand.



- Lead, mentor, and supervise farm supervisors and field teams;
train and manage local farm workers.



- Oversee the maintenance and effective use of farm machinery, tools, irrigation systems, and infrastructure.


Crop & Livestock Management



- Oversee crop production and ensure adherence to best agronomic practices.



- Coordinate integrated pest and disease management programs.



- Support livestock integration within regenerative farming systems where applicable.



- Monitor crop health, yield performance, and resource efficiency.


Irrigation & Resource Management



- Manage irrigation scheduling and water resource use across the farm.



- Oversee water-harvesting structures, ponds, and irrigation infrastructure.



- Implement water conservation and climate-resilient farming practices.


Sustainability, Compliance & Safety



- Ensure compliance with local agricultural regulations, environmental standards, and company policy.



- Participate in audits, certifications, and farm assessments as required.



- Uphold health, safety, environmental, and biosecurity standards across all farm operations.


Reporting & Stakeholder Coordination
- Prepare weekly, monthly, and seasonal farm performance reports.



- Collaborate with agronomists, regenerative agriculture specialists, engineers, and the management team.



- Provide regular updates on progress, challenges, budgets, and operational improvements.



- Support planning and execution of future farm development projects.

- 10+ years managing large-scale commercial farms, plantations, or regenerative agriculture projects



- Strong knowledge of regenerative agriculture, soil health management, agroforestry, and sustainable farming systems.



- Proven experience managing farm labor, budgets, and operational planning.



- Solid understanding of irrigation systems, crop production, and farm mechanization.
