Lima Links is an agriculture technology social enterprise that brings live markets to farmers. Our Farmer Platform serves any Zambian farmer on any basic phone, accessed by dialing *789# Send. We provide live market prices, important information about agricultural products, and connections to markets. We work directly with traders, or Market Agents, in open markets to ensure farmers can access fair, transparent market price information and market connections. The Market Agent Associate will manage and drive this critical partnership.

Leadership Duties
As a Trainer and Technical Support to Market Agents and Farmers, your leadership and management duties focus on uptake, capable usage and full usage of our Market Agent App and our Farmer Platform. You lead our efforts in assisting both Market Agents and Farmers to use Lima Links in their day to day business by providing hands on training, technical guidance and problem solving. You are responsible for growing and managing these customer bases in line with business plan targets. You are able to accept ownership for effectively solving Market Agent and Farmer issues, complaints and inquiries; keeping Market Agent and Farmer satisfaction at the core of your every decision and behaviour.

Job Purpose: what do User Training Associates actually do?
Working with Farmers, Market Traders and our Customer Service Points, the User Training Associate role requires 70% time in the field. S/he will focus on uptake, capable usage and full usage of our Market Agent App and our Farmer Platform.

Job Summary
You serve our Farmers and Market Agents directly, answering all questions they have, explaining how to use our Mobile App(s) and Farmer Platform, and driving all aspects of Farmer and Market Agent support services. Because we are a technology company, Lima Links will strive to develop innovative and relevant products and services for Farmers and those that want to serve Farmers well. Because we relentlessly seek user feedback and our products are continually tailored to better serve the user, your job is to continually capture and feedback on users’ experiences – what they like, want more of, don’t like, want less of.
As we continue to grow the available range of products and services, you need to be able to bring on-board new users, provide the highest quality training and on-going technical support and trouble-shooting. Essentially, you understand our Platform inside out and how it works. You ensure Farmers and Market Agents are able to use Lima Links to the very maximum and that they get real value out of doing so. You help develop training and user guides and you set yourself and deliver on targets for uptake and usage. While you will be based in Lusaka, you are field facing – so you are comfortable going to the field independently. You ensure field trips are focused and cost effective and hold yourself accountable for expenses, use of time and any assets under your care while in the field.
