How to Apply for Campaigns Coordinator/Campaigner

at Animal Equality

🏢 About Animal Equality

Animal Equality is an international nonprofit dedicated to ending farmed animal suffering through undercover investigations, corporate campaigns, public education, and legal advocacy. Working here means joining a passionate, results-driven team that has already secured major commitments from companies like Nestlé and Unilever. You'll be part of a global movement that uses creative, high-impact tactics to create tangible change for animals.

About This Role

As a Campaigns Coordinator, you'll lead campaigns targeting major food companies that fail to uphold animal welfare commitments. This role involves organizing protests, mobilizing volunteers, and executing data-driven tactics to pressure decision-makers. You'll have the autonomy to develop and drive creative campaigns, with travel both domestically and internationally to ensure real impact.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with a check-in with the Campaigns Manager to discuss progress on a target company, followed by researching the company's leadership and crafting a letter to its CEO. You could then host a virtual volunteer training for an upcoming protest, coordinate logistics for a mobile billboard, and end the day by analyzing social media engagement data to refine your strategy.
