The Feature that handles the installation and uninstallation of a timer job should be a hidden Feature so that activation is only possible by using Stsadm.exe through the console. This is because when Features are activated through the Web interface, the application pool's identity is used to execute the code in the Feature receiver. This account typically does not have permissions to install the timer job. Instead, use an account that is part of the farm administrators group to activate the Feature using Stsadm.exe. To set this, in Central Administration, click Operations. Under Security Configuration, click Update farm administrator's group. Stsadm.exe assumes the identity of the current logged-in user.
