Hello Tractor is an award-winning agricultural technology company on a mission to establish Africa as a global breadbasket by unlocking access to agricultural power. We serve smallholder farmers by connecting them to affordable mechanization and enabling partners to distribute a broader suite of products and services through our platform and hub network.
We are recruiting to fill the position below:
Job Title: Account Manager
Locations: Abuja
Position Type: Full Time
Experience: Associate

The Role
Hello Tractor has grown significantly in a short span of time in the African market. We now have a marketplace of over 3,000Tractor owners and operators servicing over 2 million smallholder farmers across 13 countries in Africa and 3 countries in Asia.
However, despite the huge potential for the service, there is a shortage of tractors to fully service smallholder farmers’ demand for services and banks generally do not lend to rural communities.
To address this, Hello Tractor launched a Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) tractor financing product in partnership with Moody’s and Mastercard to unlock low risk, low-cost tractor financing for rural, under-banked entrepreneurs servicing smallholder farmers.
We have a fantastic opportunity for a PAYG account manager who can work at a high level across the organization, while liaising daily with customers at the ground level.
You will be working with a world-class team of professionals who are passionate about what they do and will expect no less from you. Having an insatiable hunger for learning new methods, processes, and technologies and improving existing ones is critical.
Passion to apply technology to meet the needs of smallholder farmers and tractor owners is an absolute must. If this is a good mutual fit, you will display a history of customer-centricity, detail-orientation and take great pride in timely delivery excellence.
We are looking for people who are passionate about creating a great experience for our PAYG customers within and outside our mobile applications.
Are you comfortable liaising with farmers, mechanization service providers and tractor fleet owners? Are you meticulous about quickly resolving on the field issues of our customers? Are you entrepreneurial and driven by performance incentives? Then we need you!
