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 from 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 Thailand is for companies to stop using or buying eggs from hens confined in cages. This position will be the main person coordinating activists and leading campaigns targeting local and regional companies asking them to improve their policies. The person will also be helping our communications team with content for the local website, blog, and social media and with translations from English to Thai.


Responsibilities:

Research and build a database of food companies' profiles and key contacts
Establish permanent contact with key corporate contacts via emails, phone calls, and in-person meetings, with the goal of persuading companies to adopt cage-free egg policies in their supply chains
Travel regionally, as necessary, to meet contacts
Represent Sinergia Animal and its campaigns at public events and with the NGO and animal protection communities at large
Work with Sinergia Animal's international team in translating and developing campaigns and social media materials, writing and/or translating press releases and planning media strategies, acting as a media spokesperson for campaigns, and developing proactive relationships with our PR agency and with the media, as well as help with any other communication materials when necessary
Build alliances with other international and/or grassroots NGOs
Carry out other activities assigned by the supervisor, director, and/or president and follow all procedures set by Sinergia Animal

Requirements:

Thai citizen currently living in Thailand (it’s preferable if you live in the capital; however, people who are able and willing to travel to the capital are welcome to apply)
Excellent oral communication, writing, and proofreading skills
Excellent research skills
Proven ability to work both independently and in close coordination with a remote team
Must be able to work within deadlines and manage multiple projects
Strong time management skills
