Why join us

Work that matters, in the field and off it

Axel Prime is not a typical consultancy. We embed with the communities we work in, take positions in the value chains we advise on, and measure our success by the income farmers keep, not the reports we write.

🌍

Real impact in the field

Your work directly reaches smallholder farmers. Our advisors interact with hundreds of farming households each season, not through intermediaries.

πŸ“ˆ

Grow as the organisation grows

We are expanding into two new markets in 2026. The people joining now will build the teams, systems, and programmes that define our next chapter.

🧠

Cross-functional learning

Agronomists work alongside market analysts. Finance specialists sit with field extension teams. The learning that comes from that proximity is unlike any single-discipline role.

🀝

A team that respects you

We operate with flat hierarchies, direct communication, and a genuine open-door culture. No one at Axel Prime succeeds by making someone else smaller.

🏑

Flexible working arrangements

Field roles come with structured travel rotations and home-base arrangements. Office roles offer hybrid flexibility. We trust our people to manage their time well.

πŸŽ“

Learning investment

Every employee has an annual professional development budget. We sponsor post-graduate studies, international certifications, and industry conference participation.

Our culture

Principles we actually live by

Culture is not a poster on a wall. It is what a team decides to do when no one is watching, and what they refuse to do when it would be easy to cut corners.

We built Axel Prime on the belief that rigorous, honest advisory work, grounded in the real conditions farmers face, is the most useful contribution a private organisation can make to East African food security. That belief shapes every hiring decision we make.

01
Farmer-first decisionsWe ask whether a decision improves farmer income before we ask whether it improves our margin.
02
Honest over comfortableWe tell clients, colleagues, and communities what is true, not what they want to hear.
03
Evidence before opinionWe do not advise on gut feeling. We advise on data, field observation, and peer-reviewed evidence.
04
Local expertise, global standardsWe hire people who understand the soil, the markets, and the languages of the communities we serve.
05
Long-term thinkingWe take positions that benefit farmers over five seasons, not just the next one. Short-termism is not Axel Prime.
