Our Sectors

Livelihoods & Agriculture

As the global economy continues to shift and change away from its traditional models, the need for transformative leadership is greater than ever.

Oxford HR’s Livelihoods teams’ collective experience spans across Asia, Africa and South America, and they are uniquely placed to assess and inform the hiring process when it comes to social and environmental impact organisations working in the Agricultural space.

Our vision for the sector is aligned with promoting positive change in favour of marginalised people.

We believe in inclusive economic growth that creates jobs and equal opportunities for everyone; helping people lift themselves out of poverty and leading to self-reliant, stable and prosperous communities. Our team has worked across the globe with clients in this space, from funds specialising in agriculture, to niche-focused livelihood NGOs. This experience also spans the range of roles we have worked on within these organisations, from specialists to head office, from Sustainability Managers to Chief Executives.

We are therefore in a strong place to advise, appoint and develop our clients’ senior teams, being uniquely placed to identify the key leadership attributes when working in this important sector.
