About Sinergia Animal
Rated as one of the world's most effective animal protection organizations by Animal Charity Evaluators, Sinergia Animal is an international campaigning organization working in countries in the Global South (specifically Latin America and Southeast Asia) to reduce animal suffering and promote more compassionate food choices.
We use negotiations, investigations, peaceful direct actions, and innovative campaigning methods to expose the suffering of farmed animals and to help build a world in which no animals are exploited for food.
About the position
The goal of this position is to pressure major food corporations to adopt and implement policies to phase out the use of animal products that originate from the worst forms of animal production systems, with a focus on intensive confinement practices. Our current ask in Latin America is for companies to stop using or buying eggs from hens confined in cages. The Campaigns Manager will be the main person coordinating activists and leading campaigns that target local and regional companies and ask them to improve their policies. They will also help our communications team with content for the local website, blog, and social media and with translations from English to Spanish.
