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 90+ talented individuals dispersed around the world. At THL, animal welfare 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
The Open Wing Alliance (OWA), a program of The Humane League, is a global coalition of 98 animal protection organizations united in a common goal: to end the abuse of chickens worldwide.

Your responsibilities include but are not limited to:

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 90+ talented individuals dispersed around the world. At THL, animal welfare 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
The Open Wing Alliance (OWA), a program of The Humane League, is a global coalition of 98 animal protection organizations united in a common goal: to end the abuse of chickens worldwide. For the past several years, we have focused our efforts on eliminating battery cages by securing cage-free policies from major retailers, restaurants, and manufacturers. We specialize in institutional campaigning, a strategic approach that can be tailored to our members’ unique circumstances and challenges. It also pays off; in the past year alone, OWA groups secured 23 global cage-free policies and over 160 regional cage-free policies.
As the Digital Campaign Action Coordinator, known internally as the Global Campaign Mobilization Coordinator, you play an integral role in supporting global and regional campaigns through the management of the action app, a web-based application which enables supporters to take digital campaign actions. You will work closely with the Global Campaigns team to set up impactful actions that contribute to campaign victories, and you will develop and carry out a plan for mobilizing supporters around the world, including regional segmentation and supporter-building initiatives. You will also lead, train, and support OWA members in their use of the action app.
You are ideal for this position because you have excellent technology skills and attention to detail, which will enable you to effectively leverage our in-house advocacy platforms. You are familiar with social media and possess the organization and communication skills needed to mobilize OWA member organizations. This position reports directly to the Global Corporate Campaigns Manager.
This is a full-time, remote position. This position requires domestic and international travel for OWA summits and staff retreats; this is equivalent to approximately 2-4 week-long trips per year.
We are only able to consider applicants who reside and possess work authorization in Peru, Chile, Denmark, Poland, the United Kingdom, or the United States. US-based applicants must reside in the Central or Eastern time zone.
We will be recording a webinar hosted by Jennie Hunter, Global Corporate Campaigns Manager, and Caitlin Campbell, Global Campaigns Coordinator. You can submit any questions you would like answered regarding the role or The Humane League via this form . Please submit your questions by August 6th, 2023. The webinar will be available to watch here by August 9th.
Your responsibilities include but are not limited to:
Work closely with the Global Campaigns team to plan, design, and monitor impactful actions that will advance our cage-free work and secure victories in global campaigns.
Manage and develop our digital action platform. Lead supporter-building initiatives, with the aim of increasing the number of global action-takers. Incorporate regional segmentation of actions, allowing OWA groups greater use of the app to build and support regional campaigns.
Train and oversee OWA member groups in their use of the action app. Serve as the point of contact for any issues or questions that arise.
Conceive and implement strategies to motivate supporters and OWA members to take digital actions.
Manage sharing of the action app space, considering the needs of various campaigns and stakeholders in determining which regional actions to prioritize.
Develop and maintain a calendar for both regional and global campaign actions.
Support campaigns by developing social media strategies to apply pressure to corporate targets.
Act as a liaison between Global Campaigns and other departments to establish digital engagement goals and strategies.
