How to Apply for Corporate Engagement Lead - Brazil

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 corporate engagement and public campaigns. Working here offers the opportunity to drive systemic change in food systems while being part of a mission-driven organization that targets some of the worst industrial farming practices. Their remote-first structure allows for impactful work across Brazil's corporate landscape from anywhere.

About This Role

As Corporate Engagement Lead for Brazil, you'll be the primary driver of Sinergia Animal's corporate outreach, building relationships with food and retail companies to adopt animal welfare policies in their supply chains. This role directly impacts animal suffering by persuading major corporations to implement meaningful changes through research, negotiation, and ongoing partnership management. Your work will create lasting institutional commitments rather than temporary campaign victories.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves researching Brazilian food companies' sustainability reports to identify engagement opportunities, preparing tailored presentations for upcoming corporate meetings, and following up with existing corporate contacts via email or calls to track policy implementation progress. You might spend the afternoon updating the corporate database with new contacts and policy developments, then join a strategy call with Sinergia Animal's international team to align Brazil's corporate engagement with global campaign goals.
