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 across the country and around the world.
The Open Wing Alliance (OWA) is a global coalition of organizations united in a common goal: to end the abuse of chickens worldwide. OWA was initiated by The Humane League and has since grown into a global force, with 80 member organizations in 63 countries. In addition to launching coordinated global campaigns as a coalition, we share campaign strategies, tactics, and resources around the world to accomplish our shared goal.
YOUR OPPORTUNITY
We are looking for a Global Campaigns Coordinator, accountable for winning global cage-free commitments through corporate campaigns.
As the Global Campaigns Coordinator, your position plays an integral role in the execution of the tactics and strategies that make up the Open Wing Alliance’s global campaigns. As a campaigner, you will have a deep comprehension of our targets, our primary campaign strategies, and the tools we will use to win. You execute tactics across a variety of media, including email, social media, advertisements, and other digital spaces. The ideal candidate will e njoy regularly doing in-depth research that others may find tedious and that occasionally yields incredible finds; b e able to persevere for months through long campaigns without much indication that we’re having an impact (that is, until we win!); and b e comfortable upsetting and receiving angry responses from executives at the target company. You have solid organization and communication skills to mobilize OWA’s member organizations. You are tenacious and motivated to find the key pressure points that will bring us closer to a victory for animals. This position reports directly to the Head of Global Corporate Engagement.
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 in the United States and possess United States work authorization.
We will be recording a webinar hosted by Ellie Donohue-Miller, Head of Global Corporate Engagement, and Jennie Hunter, Senior Global Campaigns Coordinator. You can submit any questions you would like answered regarding the role and The Humane League via this form . Please submit any questions by May 31. The webinar will be available to watch here on June 2.
This application will close on Monday, June 13, 2022 at 1:00pm ET.
CORE RESPONSIBILITIES
Conduct research and analysis to help inform what strategies and tactics we use throughout the campaign, what our campaign communications should look like (i.e. slogan, ad language), and the project plan that we follow during the campaign.
Gather and monitor contact information, data, and key details about companies and their executives, including corporate structure, history, leadership and non-leadership, media, affiliations, and any potential branch of the company that can be used in a campaign.
Prepare and execute campaign tactics within the overarching strategy, including (but not limited to) email and social media campaigns, phone-calls with corporate employees, petitions, and placing advertisements.
Work with and support relevant teams to write or otherwise devise campaigning materials including website content, video plans, petitions, advertisements, social media actions, and literature language.
Help plan and maintain the strategic direction and schedule of campaign tactics to deploy.
Collaborate closely with other teams at The Humane League and within OWA to develop and execute various plans for the campaigns, align on goals, and debrief on the progress of our campaigns.
Quickly adapt to changing campaign landscape in order to capitalize on any information you might learn about the target during the campaign.
Coordinate and motivate OWA members across 80 organizations to take action. Lead with “why” to inspire others to get involved. Maintain morale during long and challenging campaigns.
Other duties as assigned.
REQUIRED SKILLS
Have approximately one year of experience in paid or unpaid work related to grassroots campaigning, campus organizing, or activism with an animal protection organization or another social movement.
Relentless - It is important to campaign fast, hard, and where it matters. The pressure must remain consistent and build momentum, preventing the company from ever getting ahead. You demonstrate excellent problem-solving skills for tackling barriers and persevering through challenging campaigns.
Organized - With all of the research, data, action alerts, and communications, it is crucial to remain organized and on top of all that is going on in the campaign. You can easily manage moving pieces from multiple projects on a daily basis.
Efficient - Take advantage of the tools and resources available and work to accomplish more with less. You are self-motivated to set your own schedule and to-do lists, and carry them out in a timely, efficient manner. You are able to identify the high priority and high impact work. You have solid capabilities in the digital space, able to navigate the internet to research hard-to-find information, use various email and social media tools, and troubleshoot tech problems.
Innovative - Barriers will come up, and companies will get used to the tactics over time. Being innovative throughout the campaign will create an unpredictable and unmanageable environment for the target company. You possess creative and analytical thinking skills for developing campaign strategies and tactics.
Strategic - The right approaches will come as a result of understanding the target company and the current landscape. When each decision is a strategic one, the impact of all decisions can increase.

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 across the country and around the world.
The Open Wing Alliance (OWA) is a global coalition of organizations united in a common goal: to end the abuse of chickens worldwide. OWA was initiated by The Humane League and has since grown into a global force, with 80 member organizations in 63 countries. In addition to launching coordinated global campaigns as a coalition, we share campaign strategies, tactics, and resources around the world to accomplish our shared goal.
YOUR OPPORTUNITY
We are looking for a Global Campaigns Coordinator, accountable for winning global cage-free commitments through corporate campaigns.
As the Global Campaigns Coordinator, your position plays an integral role in the execution of the tactics and strategies that make up the Open Wing Alliance’s global campaigns. As a campaigner, you will have a deep comprehension of our targets, our primary campaign strategies, and the tools we will use to win. You execute tactics across a variety of media, including email, social media, advertisements, and other digital spaces. The ideal candidate will e njoy regularly doing in-depth research that others may find tedious and that occasionally yields incredible finds; b e able to persevere for months through long campaigns without much indication that we’re having an impact (that is, until we win!); and b e comfortable upsetting and receiving angry responses from executives at the target company. You have solid organization and communication skills to mobilize OWA’s member organizations. You are tenacious and motivated to find the key pressure points that will bring us closer to a victory for animals. This position reports directly to the Head of Global Corporate Engagement.
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 in the United States and possess United States work authorization.
We will be recording a webinar hosted by Ellie Donohue-Miller, Head of Global Corporate Engagement, and Jennie Hunter, Senior Global Campaigns Coordinator. You can submit any questions you would like answered regarding the role and The Humane League via this form . Please submit any questions by May 31. The webinar will be available to watch here on June 2.
This application will close on Monday, June 13, 2022 at 1:00pm ET.
CORE RESPONSIBILITIES
Conduct research and analysis to help inform what strategies and tactics we use throughout the campaign, what our campaign communications should look like (i.e. slogan, ad language), and the project plan that we follow during the campaign.
Gather and monitor contact information, data, and key details about companies and their executives, including corporate structure, history, leadership and non-leadership, media, affiliations, and any potential branch of the company that can be used in a campaign.
Prepare and execute campaign tactics within the overarching strategy, including (but not limited to) email and social media campaigns, phone-calls with corporate employees, petitions, and placing advertisements.
Work with and support relevant teams to write or otherwise devise campaigning materials including website content, video plans, petitions, advertisements, social media actions, and literature language.
Help plan and maintain the strategic direction and schedule of campaign tactics to deploy.
Collaborate closely with other teams at The Humane League and within OWA to develop and execute various plans for the campaigns, align on goals, and debrief on the progress of our campaigns.
Quickly adapt to changing campaign landscape in order to capitalize on any information you might learn about the target during the campaign.
Coordinate and motivate OWA members across 80 organizations to take action. Lead with “why” to inspire others to get involved. Maintain morale during long and challenging campaigns.
Other duties as assigned.
REQUIRED SKILLS
Have approximately one year of experience in paid or unpaid work related to grassroots campaigning, campus organizing, or activism with an animal protection organization or another social movement.
Relentless - It is important to campaign fast, hard, and where it matters. The pressure must remain consistent and build momentum, preventing the company from ever getting ahead. You demonstrate excellent problem-solving skills for tackling barriers and persevering through challenging campaigns.
Organized - With all of the research, data, action alerts, and communications, it is crucial to remain organized and on top of all that is going on in the campaign. You can easily manage moving pieces from multiple projects on a daily basis.
Efficient - Take advantage of the tools and resources available and work to accomplish more with less. You are self-motivated to set your own schedule and to-do lists, and carry them out in a timely, efficient manner. You are able to identify the high priority and high impact work. You have solid capabilities in the digital space, able to navigate the internet to research hard-to-find information, use various email and social media tools, and troubleshoot tech problems.
Innovative - Barriers will come up, and companies will get used to the tactics over time. Being innovative throughout the campaign will create an unpredictable and unmanageable environment for the target company. You possess creative and analytical thinking skills for developing campaign strategies and tactics.
Strategic - The right approaches will come as a result of understanding the target company and the current landscape. When each decision is a strategic one, the impact of all decisions can increase.
Collaborative - You are a team player, dedicated to The Humane League and Open Wing Alliance’s mission. You can motivate others to take action. You have excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Starting salary $46,200 or salary to commensurate with experience.

Title: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Coordinator
Job Number: REQ-92436
Salary: $5,698 – $8,403 per month
Deadline: 04/24/2022 at 11:59pm Pacific Time
Diversity, equity and inclusion is perhaps the most important work in front of us right now. Oregon’s population is growing, and its demographics are changing. Quantitative and qualitative research shows that minority racial and ethnic groups — Indigenous American, Asian, Black, and Latinx — are underrepresented in outdoor recreation in Oregon and across the country. We know that barriers also exist for people with limited incomes, people with disabilities and LGBTQ+ people. We’re looking for someone who knows why this research matters, and who instinctively understands that a workforce composed of people from all backgrounds and perspectives will lead to better decisions, better creative thinking, and better leadership. DEI goes well beyond recruiting, though. It means knowing that visitors from all backgrounds should be able to connect with their state parks quickly and meaningfully. The ideal DEI Coordinator will have a passion for the principles of inclusivity, and will help generate creative ideas to make our parks and campgrounds better: easier to access, with fewer barriers and more welcoming. We’re looking for someone who sees past the difficulties of getting there and focuses on the wonderful possibilities that opening these gates may bring.
If this sounds like you, come join our team as a DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) Coordinator and support one of Oregon’s greatest resources – State Parks!
This position falls under the classification Operations and Policy Analyst 3 .

“Is this the best way to act productively and nimbly?”
“Is there something new we should be doing to move the needle?”
“Is there something we should stop doing to free resources for higher priority work?”
Guardrails. We stay legal, ethical, and safe when pursuing Principles 1 and 2.
We make decisions by considering the agency, then our teammates, then ourselves, in that order.
What you will do:
As our DEI Coordinator, you will serve as a member of the agency’s Central Business Services (CBS) Division * Management Team to develop and implement programs designed to meet the agency’s goal of a diverse and inclusive workforce.

Excellent written and verbal communication skills and the ability to maneuver difficult and sensitive conversations with individuals and groups.

What's in it for you:
This is a fantastic opportunity to support millions of visitors connecting with one of the best state park systems in America. You will work with a team of supportive, talented and highly motivated professionals. And, you’ll receive a fantastic benefits packaging including:

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 across the country and around the world.
The Open Wing Alliance (OWA) is a global coalition of organizations united in a common goal: to end the abuse of chickens worldwide. OWA was initiated by The Humane League and has since grown into a global force, with 80 member organizations in 63 countries.

YOUR OPPORTUNITY
We are looking for a Global Campaigns Coordinator, accountable for winning global cage-free commitments through corporate campaigns.

Enjoy regularly doing in-depth research that others may find tedious and that occasionally yields incredible finds;
Be able to persevere for months through long campaigns without much indication that we’re having an impact (that is, until we win!); and
Be comfortable upsetting and receiving angry responses from executives at the target company.
Qualities of a Campaigner:
Relentless - It is important to campaign fast, hard, and where it matters. The pressure must remain consistent and build momentum, preventing the company from ever getting ahead.
Organized - With all of the research, data, action alerts, and communications, it is crucial to remain organized and on top of all that is going on in the campaign.
Efficient - Take advantage of the tools and resources available and work to accomplish more with less.
Innovative - Barriers will come up, and companies will get used to the tactics over time. Being innovative throughout the campaign will create an unpredictable and unmanageable environment for the target company.
Strategic - The right approaches will come as a result of understanding the target company and the current landscape. When each decision is a strategic one, the impact of all decisions can increase .
Collaborative - Global campaigns necessitate working closely with other departments and mobilizing 80 OWA member organizations.
As the Global Campaigns Coordinator, your position plays an integral role in the execution of the tactics and strategies that make up the Open Wing Alliance’s global campaigns. As a campaigner, you will have a deep comprehension of our targets, our primary campaign strategies, and the tools we will use to win.
