Project Associate at Regen Organics

What are your main responsibilities

Trial & Pilot Execution

Contribute insights to emerging initiatives beyond standard trial execution – e.g. new measurement methodologies or piloting technology-enabled tools for participant engagement and data collection

Flag opportunities where new technology or methodology could improve how trials, demos, or field interactions are run

Set up pilots and trials from scratch

Identify, recruit, and coordinate with host sites and participants appropriate to each trial’s criteria – including recruiting large numbers of participants where a trial or demo requires scale

Monitor active sites on a regular schedule throughout the full project cycle, flagging deviations, issues, or practices that could compromise results

Coordinate stocking and availability of trial products/inputs with local distributors and partners so sites are never held up waiting on supply

Work across whichever counties have active projects at a given time – currently a mix of Kirinyaga, Nakuru, Nyandarua, and Kakamega – rather than a single fixed county

Data Collection, Analysis & Reporting

Record trial/demo observations, participant feedback, and site status in a consistent, structured format after each visit

Maintain accurate spreadsheet logs of site-level and trial-level data across all active sites

Summarise field findings and flag issues in a written form the Emerging Trends team can act on without visiting the site themselves

Bring an analytical, strategic lens to reporting – synthesising data across sites into clear, structured reports that surface trends and inform decisions, not just log raw observations

Interpret and communicate analytical findings clearly, using data to draw evidence-based conclusions, identify potential drivers of results, and highlight implications or recommendations for the wider project team

Stakeholder Relationships & Coordination

Coordinate directly with field officers, participants, interviewers, and local county contacts to keep site visits on schedule

Maintain working relationships with host sites, local officials, and field partners relevant to each trial

Communicate site status and risks proactively to the team

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in technical, analytical or business related field (required)

Minimum of 2 years work experience (required)

Fluency in Swahili and English (required)

Prior hands-on experience setting up and running structured pilots and trials from scratch, with disciplined monitoring through a full project cycle (preferred)

Prior experience recruiting and onboarding large numbers of participants at scale

Strong analytical and data management skills, with the ability to work confidently with spreadsheets and datasets, perform complex analysis, identify trends and relationships, troubleshoot data inconsistencies, and translate findings into clear, decision-useful reports (preferred)

Prior experience participating in RCT’s

Nice to have: prior experience in ag-tech, working with smallholder farmers, on digital/data-driven agricultural pilots, and/or on nature-based/soil carbon projects

Strong organisational skills and ability to manage multiple sites/workstreams simultaneously (preferred)

Willingness and ability to travel to and stay in rural farming areas across multiple counties for extended stretches – location will shift as projects are confirmed, rather than a fixed twice-a-month schedule to one base
