How to Apply for Technical Field Coordinator (Asia)

at Shrimp Welfare Project

🏢 About Shrimp Welfare Project

Shrimp Welfare Project is a unique organization focused exclusively on improving the welfare of farmed shrimp through evidence-based interventions in Asia. Unlike traditional animal welfare groups, they target a specific aquaculture sector with measurable impact goals, making them a pioneer in this niche field. Someone might want to work here to contribute to scalable welfare improvements for billions of animals in a data-driven environment.

About This Role

The Technical Field Coordinator (Asia) will likely implement and monitor shrimp welfare interventions across farms in India and Southeast Asia, coordinating with local partners and collecting field data. This role is impactful because it directly translates organizational strategies into on-the-ground improvements for shrimp welfare at scale. Success in this position means contributing to measurable welfare gains across major shrimp-producing regions.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve virtual coordination with partner organizations across different Asian time zones, analyzing field data from welfare assessments, and planning upcoming farm visits. You'd likely spend time troubleshooting implementation challenges with local teams and adapting welfare protocols to different farm contexts while ensuring data quality for impact measurement.
