Political Strategy

Company Description

OUR VISION

We believe that a truly free society means freedom for everyone—including other animals.

We’re creating a world where animals have the freedom to shape their lives according to their own needs and wants, and where their interests are taken into consideration in every area of society. 
A world that respects all animals as individuals with unique personalities, languages and cultures.
A world where humans work with other animals to protect our shared home, so we can all thrive for generations to come.

OUR MISSION

The greatest leaps forward in social progress were made possible by the success of other freedom movements.

That’s why we’re building a powerful, resilient movement that can go the distance in ensuring all animals have their freedom embraced by society and protected in UK law.

We will achieve this by empowering everyday people to stand up for Animal Freedom and create lasting change together.

About the role

This role plays an important part in creating an effective strategy for ATT and the people-powered movement we will seed. By ‘political strategy’, we mean:

(1) our long-term goals and milestones;

(2) developing a vision for Animal Freedom;

(3) which institutions do we need to target with our campaigns and how;

(4) ways in which can we build support amongst influential people and bodies for Animal Freedom;

(5) strategies for building support across the political spectrum;

(6) developing methods and pathways for how ordinary people can engage with formal institutions (such as local councils, government departments, businesses etc.) to win campaigns.

As well as gaining knowledge in these different areas, you will also need to be able to work with others, consult, build support and create alignment around a political strategy.

This role is based in Lancaster and you will be working in the strategy team.
