How to Apply for Assessoria em Relações Corporativas

at Associação Alianima

🏢 About Associação Alianima

Alianima is a unique nonprofit focused specifically on improving conditions for animals in livestock farming, prioritizing species with the highest confinement and slaughter numbers. Unlike broader animal welfare organizations, they take a targeted, evidence-based approach to corporate engagement within the food sector, making them a strategic choice for professionals passionate about creating systemic change in animal agriculture.

About This Role

This role involves directly engaging with food companies and animal producers to negotiate and implement animal welfare commitments through proactive outreach and relationship-building. You'll have significant impact by translating Alianima's mission into concrete corporate agreements that improve conditions for thousands of production animals.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve researching and prospecting Brazilian food companies, preparing outreach materials tailored to specific producers, conducting virtual meetings to discuss welfare commitments, and documenting negotiation progress. You'd also map stakeholders for upcoming campaigns and potentially represent Alianima at virtual industry events related to livestock welfare.
