How to Apply for Communications and Mobilisation Lead, International
at Sinergia Animal
🏢 About Sinergia Animal
Sinergia Animal is unique as an international animal protection NGO specifically focused on reducing meat consumption in Latin America and Asia through targeted corporate campaigns. Unlike broader animal welfare organizations, they strategically address the worst practices in industrial farming through vegan and vegetarian advocacy. Someone might want to work here to drive measurable change in regions with rapidly growing meat consumption while being part of a globally distributed team.
About This Role
This role involves leading global communication and mobilization efforts to pressure corporations into adopting better animal welfare policies through coordinated campaigns. You'll be responsible for engaging and managing a worldwide network of volunteer activists while developing multi-platform communication strategies. This position is impactful because it directly influences corporate practices across Latin America and Asia, where industrial farming expansion is most significant.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might start with coordinating with volunteer activists in different time zones about upcoming campaign actions, then developing social media content for a corporate pressure campaign targeting a restaurant chain in Argentina. The afternoon could involve strategizing with Asian team members about an upcoming peaceful street action in Thailand and drafting a press release about recent campaign progress for international media outlets.
