🏢 About Active for Animals

Active for Animals is a nonprofit that builds digital tools to accelerate animal advocacy, focusing on high-impact interventions like cage-free campaigns. Working here means directly contributing to a movement that leverages technology to scale grassroots efforts across Asia. The organization is unique for its emphasis on evidence-based problem validation before tool development, ensuring resources are used effectively.

About This Role

As a part-time, three-month remote consultant, you will map cage-free transition progress in Asia, conduct 8+ discovery interviews with local advocacy groups, and synthesize findings into a report ranking problems and tool opportunities. This role is pivotal in identifying where digital solutions can unblock advocacy bottlenecks, directly shaping Active for Animals' future tool investments. Your work will have a tangible impact on accelerating cage-free campaigns across the region.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve scheduling and conducting discovery interviews with advocacy groups across different time zones, then coding and analyzing the notes to identify recurring themes. You might also spend time researching country-specific cage-free policies or drafting sections of the synthesis report. The work is flexible but requires disciplined time management to meet the deliverables within the three-month timeframe.
