About the Role

You will be AAI’s first dedicated operations hire. For the past two years our Executive Director has run operations alongside everything else, and the core systems are in place: accounting and banking, reimbursements, policies and our tool stack. Your job is to take ownership of them and make them work better, so that campaign staff can focus on campaigns and the Executive Director on strategy and fundraising.

The role covers systems and tools, legal and compliance, finance and admin, people operations, and events and travel. Two areas get particular emphasis. The first is AI: we need to upgrade our AI capacity, and we want you to build the workflows, automations and agents that help the team get more done. The second is legal structure: AAI currently operates under fiscal sponsorship, and we are considering registering our own nonprofit entity, most likely in the UK, as well as local entities for some of the country initiatives we support in Asia. You would research the options, run registration end to end, and keep the entities compliant.

We plan to grow the team over the coming years, and this role will grow with it. You may go on to manage an Operations Associate.

About the Organisation

Asia Accountability Initiative (AAI) works with local advocates to hold companies to their animal welfare commitments across Asia. Hundreds of hotel, food and restaurant companies have publicly pledged to use only cage-free eggs. Many are behind or have quietly excluded Asian markets, and we help hold them to account.
