How to Apply for Corporate Engagement Lead

at Sinergia Animal

🏢 About Sinergia Animal

Sinergia Animal is a unique international animal protection NGO focused specifically on reducing meat consumption in Latin America and Asia through targeted campaigns against industrial farming practices. Unlike broader animal welfare organizations, they concentrate on dietary change advocacy in specific regions where factory farming is expanding rapidly. Someone might want to work here to combine animal advocacy with cultural sensitivity and strategic regional impact.

About This Role

As Corporate Engagement Lead, you'll develop and execute strategies to engage corporations in reducing animal suffering through supply chain changes, plant-based initiatives, and policy advocacy across Sinergia Animal's target regions. This role is impactful because corporate partnerships can create systemic change in food systems, affecting millions of animals through large-scale institutional commitments rather than individual consumer changes alone.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve researching target corporations in specific regions, developing tailored outreach materials in appropriate languages, coordinating with campaign teams on corporate engagement opportunities, and analyzing supply chain data to identify leverage points. You'd likely spend significant time in virtual meetings across time zones with regional teams and external corporate contacts, balancing relationship-building with campaign pressure strategies.

🎯 Who Sinergia Animal Is Looking For

  • Has 3+ years experience in corporate engagement, partnership development, or B2B outreach within NGO, sustainability, or food industry contexts
  • Demonstrates cultural competency and understanding of business landscapes in Latin America and/or Asia, with language skills relevant to these regions
  • Shows specific knowledge of industrial farming practices and plant-based market trends, not just general animal welfare interest
  • Can provide examples of successful corporate campaigns that changed policies or practices, particularly in food/agriculture sectors

📝 Tips for Applying to Sinergia Animal

1

Reference specific Sinergia Animal campaigns you admire (like their work with supermarkets or food companies) and explain how you'd build on them

2

Highlight any experience with Latin American or Asian corporate cultures, including language abilities or regional business knowledge

3

Quantify your corporate engagement achievements (e.g., 'secured 5 corporate partnerships reducing X animals in supply chains') rather than just listing responsibilities

4

Demonstrate understanding of both animal advocacy AND business perspectives - show you can speak corporate language while advancing ethical goals

5

If you have vegan/vegetarian advocacy experience, specify whether it involved institutional/corporate work versus individual outreach

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

["Your specific strategy for engaging corporations in Sinergia Animal's target regions (Latin America/Asia), not generic partnership ideas", "Examples of how you've navigated corporate resistance or built win-win partnerships in previous roles", 'Understanding of both the ethical imperatives AND business incentives for corporations to reduce animal suffering', 'How your background prepares you for the cultural nuances of working across multiple countries/regions remotely']
