Job Description
Position Description:
TPW’s
Women’s Beekeeping Initiative empowers rural women through sustainable
enterprise development. Honey harvested from beehives hung by women’s
groups is jarred and sold under the Mama Asali brand. TPW is seeking a
passionate, energetic and hard-working individual to fill the position
of Conservation Enterprise and Marketing Officer. The successful
candidate will be responsible for developing the Mama Asali brand into
an income-generating, social enterprise for TPW and its community
partners. Responsibilities will include developing the full hive to
market value chain, developing women’s cooperatives, establishing market
linkages between the cooperatives and larger resellers, and ensuring
the overall profitability of the enterprise. Preference will be given to
individuals with prior experience establishing a social enterprise in
Tanzania, demonstrated ability to access East African markets, and/or a
strong business background.
The successful candidate must have
impressive communication and interpersonal skills, the ability to work
in a multi-cultural environment with diverse stakeholders, and
significant capability to work independently. This position will be
based at the Noloholo Environmental Center but will require travel to
remote program areas with limited facilities, safari camps and lodges,
as well as urban marketplaces; applicants should enjoy a balance of
travel and office time. Acting as a public emissary of TPW’s women’s
enterprise program as well as an important role model for the 77+
women’s groups partnering with TPW, the successful candidate will
exhibit strong leadership characteristics. A team player, the individual
will coordinate and interact closely with TPW’s bee-keeping
program officer as well as other team members. We anticipate the
position will require equal amounts of time for program development,
marketing and distribution of products, and reporting.
