30 hours worked per week for 20 months: (30/40) x 20 months = 15 months full-time equivalent
20 hours worked per week for 12 months: (20/40) x 12 months = 6 months full-time equivalent

The Humane League (THL) is a global nonprofit ending the abuse of animals raised for food. THL fosters a high-energy culture of teamwork and mission-driven problem solving, and we have earned recognition as Top Charity from Animal Charity Evaluators for all of their rating periods. Over the past few years, we’ve grown to a staff of 100+ talented individuals dispersed across the country and around the world.

As such, many of our staff are vegan by personal choice, and all of our THL-hosted events offer fully vegan menus. We welcome all mission-aligned candidates to apply, no matter where you are in your journey to end the abuse of animals raised for food.
YOUR OPPORTUNITY
THL’s Corporate Projects team is looking for an experienced project manager, communicator, and strategic thinker who can propose and test effective new strategies to advocate to a corporate audience for meaningful animal welfare reforms.

Your writing and communication expertise as well as your project management skills will underpin our Corporate Engagement work.
Your position plays a critical role in ensuring that THL can effectively engage with food companies about animal welfare, whether that be through the execution of new strategies, or the creation and management of educational websites, scientific reports, or other media. We want you because you know how to motivate audiences who might not think like you. You have experience managing multiple cross-departmental projects at once. You have a background in advocacy, communication, and strategic problem-solving. You can make decisions independently when faced with uncertainty and limited information. You’re ready to recognize corporations that make progress for animals and call out those that fail to stop cruel practices. This position reports directly to the Corporate Projects Manager.

We are only able to consider applicants who reside in the United States and possess United States work authorization.

Your responsibilities include but are not limited to:
Invent, evaluate, develop, and project manage new and innovative strategies—from national reports and cross-departmental projects to individual tools—that will influence corporations and their top executives. Lead collaboration with various teams at THL to execute these strategies.
Author and design strategic resources such as newsletters, websites, case studies, advertisements, and reports to educate corporate executives about animal welfare issues. Collaborate with the Corporate Engagement team to plan the distribution of these materials.
Develop and maintain expertise on corporate communications and marketing strategies used within the food industry. Act as a subject matter expert on effective corporate messaging to other THL departments, volunteers, coalition groups, outside vendors, and other stakeholders; this requires frequent professional communication.
Understand and stay up to date on the broader industry landscape on animal welfare issues and the nuances of the individual animal welfare policies THL is requesting of companies.
Leverage a variety of digital tools and platforms, such as Google Workspace, Asana, Slack, and Salesforce, to keep data and information organized and accessible.
REQUIRED SKILLS
Experience: You have enough professional or non-professional experience with advocacy work (via nonprofit or political campaigns, grassroots activism, environmental or climate activism, or other forms of activism) to demonstrate that you have a strong understanding and detailed knowledge of how to effectively drive systems transformation. You have experience in project management that will allow you to plan and execute complex, cross-departmental projects.
Communication: You have compelling written and verbal communication skills, which will enable you to present THL’s message professionally and convincingly in reports, websites, and other content designed for high level executives and public audiences. In crafting communications, you take into consideration the differing motivations of executives, activists, and the general public.
Strategic thinking: The right approaches will come as a result of deeply comprehending THL’s goals as well as the motivations of corporations and the hurdles they are facing. When each choice is a strategic one, the impact of all judgments can increase. You take ownership of thinking critically about your projects. You thoughtfully vet the projects that you pursue, evaluating the risks, benefits, costs, and goals to make sure that you are making strategic choices that are in the best interest of THL.
Organization and long-term planning: Managing a large number of projects—many of which may have long-term strategies and implications for your own work—requires exemplary organizational skills, including effective cross-departmental project management skills, and daily use of Google Drive, online communication tools like Slack, spreadsheets, and project management software.
Self-motivation: This position requires the ability to set and manage your own schedule and to-do lists and carry them out in a timely, efficient manner to achieve as much as possible for animals in the limited amount of time that you have each day. You must be comfortable working both independently and as a part of a fully remote team. You have experience taking initiative in pursuing goals, managing your time effectively, and making decisions to move work forward with minimal oversight.
Collaboration: Although this position is highly independent, the success of this role relies on your ability to work cooperatively with team members, as well as other organizations and external stakeholders, and contribute to an inclusive, collaborative work environment. You bring a high level of emotional intelligence to collaborations.
Comfort with uncertainty and experimentation: Your success will depend on your ability to develop and evaluate novel, unproven tactics. Due to the nature of this work, you won’t often have direct external feedback on the effectiveness of your ideas. You will need to present arguments for or against new ideas and determine the metrics by which success can be measured.
Efficiency: You take advantage of the tools and resources available and work to accomplish more with less. You are able to successfully handle multiple tasks and projects at once, amidst multiple priorities.
Once your application has been reviewed, you will be notified via email with further details on the status of your application. If a candidate is moved forward, the interview process will be as follows:

In crafting communications, you take into consideration the differing motivations of executives, activists, and the general public.

You bring a high level of emotional intelligence to collaborations.
Comfort with uncertainty and experimentation: Your success will depend on your ability to develop and evaluate novel, unproven tactics. Due to the nature of this work, you won’t often have direct external feedback on the effectiveness of your ideas. You will need to present arguments for or against new ideas and determine the metrics by which success can be measured.

30 hours worked per week for 20 months: (30/40) x 20 months = 15 months full-time equivalent
20 hours worked per week for 12 months: (20/40) x 12 months = 6 months full-time equivalent
