Job Context:
∎ Background: Land O`Lakes Venture37 is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation helping communities around the world build economies by strengthening agriculture from farm-to-fork, helping businesses grow, and linking farmers to markets. Since our start in 1981, we have been leveraging nearly 100 years of expertise in crop inputs, agricultural insights, dairy and animal nutrition from our close affiliate, Land O`Lakes, Inc., a farmer-owned agribusiness committed to fulfilling its purpose of feeding human progress.
∎ Description: Land O`Lakes Venture37 Bangladesh implements the United States Department of Agriculture-funded Bangladesh Trade Facilitation project (BTF) and the United States Agency for International Development-funded Farmer-to-Farmer Food Safety and Quality project (F2F FSQ).
∎ BTF will expand regional and international trade in agricultural goods by addressing systemic constraints to agricultural trade at Bangladeshi ports; simplifying and automating import and export processes; improving the capacity of government agencies, laboratories, and warehouses; and by fostering private and public investment in cold storage facilities and temperature-controlled logistics.
∎ F2F FSQ increases the profitability and market access in the agro-processing sector in Bangladesh by helping partner businesses to improve their food safety practices to comply with global standards. F2F FSQ leverages the technical expertise of Land O`Lakes, Inc., a large Fortune 500 cooperative. Land O`Lakes, Inc. employees and cooperative members, as well as Venture37`s cadre of U.S. volunteers, lend their time, expertise and networks helping partners identify and fill food safety gaps that prevent them from expanding their market access.

The objective is to creatively promote the successes and impact of the organization's work in the country as well as the achievements of partners and other project stakeholders. Implementation of the communication strategy should ensure visibility of the outputs and results as well as the role of USAID and USDA to provide the donor funding for the projects.
∎ The Communications Specialist will develop written stories and arrange visuals and content for infographics, communication pieces, and social media posts that feature the successes and learnings about BTF and F2F FSQ. In addition, the incumbent will offer advice or support to Venture37 partners or stakeholders.
