WHO WE ARE
The Humane League (THL) is a global nonprofit ending the abuse of animals raised for food. THL fosters a high-energy culture of teamwork and mission-driven problem solving, and we have earned recognition as Top Charity from Animal Charity Evaluators for all of their rating periods. Over the past few years, we’ve grown to a staff of 100+ talented individuals dispersed across the country and around the world. At THL, how animals are treated in the food system is at the forefront of our everyday work. As such, many of our staff are vegan by personal choice, and all of our THL-hosted events offer fully vegan menus. We welcome all mission-aligned candidates to apply, no matter where you are in your journey to end the abuse of animals raised for food.
YOUR OPPORTUNITY
In 2022, The Humane League launched the Animal Policy Alliance (APA), a national network of state and local animal protection and food policy advocacy groups in the US that include animals raised for food among their legislative priorities. The mission of the APA is to unite to end large scale animal cruelty through policy change. To help accomplish this mission, THL’s Public Policy team works to facilitate the sharing of resources and best practices, provide trainings, develop and coordinate strategies for public policy campaigns, and provide the capacity building and support necessary for those strategies to succeed.
As the Policy Advisor, you will be accountable for conducting state and local-level policy research, supporting the coordination of member groups on impactful public policy campaigns and lobbying strategies at the state and local level, and interfacing with animal protection groups regarding research needs. Because the APA is a relatively new program and the Public Policy team is small, this role requires a high level of flexibility and comfort with change and uncertainty. This position reports directly to the Senior Policy Counsel.
This is a full-time, remote position. This position requires domestic travel; this is equivalent to approximately 2 week-long trips per year.
We are only able to consider applicants who reside in the United States and possess United States work authorization.
We will be holding a webinar on Tuesday, July 16, 2024 at 5:00pm PT/6:00pm MT/7:00pm CT/8:00pm ET for you to find out more about the role and ask any questions you may have. The webinar will be hosted by Hannah Truxell, Senior Policy Counsel, and Gabriel Wildgen, Senior Director of Public Policy. If you’re interested, please register here . As a webinar, you’ll only be able to see the presenter and not others watching. The webinar will be recorded and available here by Wednesday, July 17th.
This position will close on Monday, July 22, 2024 at 1:00pm PDT/2:00pm MDT/3:00pm CDT/4:00pm EDT. Late applications will not be accepted; if you are experiencing technical issues, please contact careers@thehumaneleague.org prior to the deadline. Please submit applications and all supporting documents in English. All application questions and materials need to be submitted here through the application submission, we do not accept applications through our careers email.

WHO WE ARE
The Humane League (THL) is a global nonprofit ending the abuse of animals raised for food. THL fosters a high-energy culture of teamwork and mission-driven problem solving, and we have earned recognition as Top Charity from Animal Charity Evaluators for all of their rating periods. Over the past few years, we’ve grown to a staff of 100+ talented individuals dispersed across the country and around the world. At THL, how animals are treated in the food system is at the forefront of our everyday work. As such, many of our staff are vegan by personal choice, and all of our THL-hosted events offer fully vegan menus. We welcome all mission-aligned candidates to apply, no matter where you are in your journey to end the abuse of animals raised for food.
YOUR OPPORTUNITY
In 2022, The Humane League launched the Animal Policy Alliance (APA), a national network of state and local animal protection and food policy advocacy groups in the US that include animals raised for food among their legislative priorities. The mission of the APA is to unite to end large scale animal cruelty through policy change. To help accomplish this mission, THL’s Public Policy team works to facilitate the sharing of resources and best practices, provide trainings, develop and coordinate strategies for public policy campaigns, and provide the capacity building and support necessary for those strategies to succeed.
As the Policy Advisor, you will be accountable for conducting state and local-level policy research, supporting the coordination of member groups on impactful public policy campaigns and lobbying strategies at the state and local level, and interfacing with animal protection groups regarding research needs. Because the APA is a relatively new program and the Public Policy team is small, this role requires a high level of flexibility and comfort with change and uncertainty. This position reports directly to the Senior Policy Counsel.
This is a full-time, remote position. This position requires domestic travel; this is equivalent to approximately 2 week-long trips per year.
We are only able to consider applicants who reside in the United States and possess United States work authorization.
We will be holding a webinar on Tuesday, July 16, 2024 at 5:00pm PT/6:00pm MT/7:00pm CT/8:00pm ET for you to find out more about the role and ask any questions you may have. The webinar will be hosted by Hannah Truxell, Senior Policy Counsel, and Gabriel Wildgen, Senior Director of Public Policy. If you’re interested, please register here . As a webinar, you’ll only be able to see the presenter and not others watching. The webinar will be recorded and available here by Wednesday, July 17th.
This position will close on Monday, July 22, 2024 at 1:00pm PDT/2:00pm MDT/3:00pm CDT/4:00pm EDT. Late applications will not be accepted; if you are experiencing technical issues, please contact careers@thehumaneleague.org prior to the deadline. Please submit applications and all supporting documents in English. All application questions and materials need to be submitted here through the application submission, we do not accept applications through our careers email.

Evaluate and produce guidance about the predictive models we use in our voter contact work. This could look like adjusting or combining existing models, assessing the race equity impact of new models, and creating suggested cut points for targeting.
Stay up to date with research and best practices from across the political data space, continually grow your own analytics knowledge, and pitch in to pair program or write code for other data projects that could benefit from more advanced methods.
Qualifications
Must Haves
Strong SQL skills - you should have worked in a data warehouse environment before and be comfortable writing complex queries with joins and aggregate functions.

Nice to Haves

As part of our commitment to transparency and equity, we recently implemented a job architecture framework, which levels all of our roles according to size and complexity, as well as a compensation step system, which allows us to account for an individual's total years of related experience when determining their compensation. In addition, we have adopted a no negotiation policy for salaries. To determine a job's level, we carefully consider a variety of factors, including a job's size and complexity, required experience, knowledge, and/or skills, internal comparability, and market data. To determine final compensation, experience will be measured by considering prior work in jobs or activities that are related to the role at THL. These new practices are aligned with our organizational values and will help us ensure we maintain clear, consistent, transparent, and equitable HR processes.
Employees enjoy full medical coverage, optional dental and vision packages, a 401(k) retirement plan, pet care & Rx discount plans, working from home, up to 16 weeks of paid parental leave for eligible employees, paid holidays, flexible vacation time, professional development, and the supportive environment at The Humane League!
