🏢 About The Humane League

The Humane League is a top-rated nonprofit that has earned consistent recognition from Animal Charity Evaluators for its effective work to end farmed animal suffering. With a global team of over 100 mission-driven staff, the organization fosters a high-energy culture of teamwork and problem-solving, making it a standout place for advocates who want to drive measurable impact.

About This Role

As the Global Digital Mobilization Lead, you will design and execute strategies to engage online activists worldwide, leveraging digital tools to support global campaigns and empower Open Wing Alliance member groups. This part-time role is pivotal in translating digital engagement into real-world wins for animals, directly contributing to the success of high-impact campaigns.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start by checking global campaign metrics and reviewing supporter engagement data from overnight actions. You'd then coordinate with regional Programs teams to align digital mobilization tactics with upcoming campaign milestones, and spend time optimizing advocacy tools or training OWA member groups on best practices. The day often ends with a cross-time-zone meeting to plan the next week's actions.
