Compassion in World Farming International is a leading global organisation dedicated to ending factory farming worldwide. We were founded in 1967 by Peter Roberts, a British farmer alarmed by the rise of factory farming. Over the past 50 years, we have made major strides in abolishing inhumane practices such as barren battery cages, veal crates, and sow gestation crates in the UK and Europe.
Our approach involves campaigning, advocacy, and engagement with policymakers at national, intergovernmental, and corporate levels, building a movement of individuals concerned about animal welfare and the health and sustainability of our food. We are driven by a passion for animal welfare and food system change, believing in a future where animals are treated with compassion and respect, and where sustainable farming practices prevail for a healthy planet.
Our international headquarters are in Godalming (UK), with team members in 14 countries on four continents including the US, Italy, France, Poland, the Netherlands, Spain, Czechia, China, and a specialist policy office in Brussels. This role is part of the Global Fundraising Directorate of over 50 staff, consisting of Philanthropy, Individual Giving, Legacies, Digital, CRM and Brand teams, based internationally, primarily in the UK (HQ) and our six other fundraising markets in the USA and Europe.

About the Role:
As our Senior CRM Administrator, you’ll play a vital role in ensuring Compassion’s Salesforce system operates seamlessly and meets the needs of our diverse teams. You’ll be responsible for developing Salesforce, to support critical organisational activities, particularly within fundraising, while ensuring data accuracy and integrity. By managing integrations with third-party systems and internal tools, you’ll help increase the efficiency and effectiveness of our CRM system.
This is a highly collaborative role, which requires you to work closely with teams across the organisation, including Fundraising, Digital, and International colleagues.
