Candidate Profile - Expertise: Deep technical and market knowledge of PURE in agriculture (solar irrigation, cooling, milling).
- Strategic Instinct: You can look at a 5-year project plan and immediately spot whatâs missing or what won't scale in the current African market.
- Professionalism: You are notoriously on-time, highly professional, and comfortable working with multi-country research teams.
- Ethics & Equity: In line with Catalystas' feminist values, strong preference will be given to female researchers and experts.
