Why we exist

Our mission is to direct animal advocates to opportunities to achieve the highest impact possible through their careers.

There is a critical shortage of skilled professionals in the animal advocacy movement

This is one of the major issues holding back nonprofits from maximising their potential, according to our research.

Many organisations struggle to find and secure the talent they need. A lack of capacity and resources further impede access to the expertise needed for transformative impact.

Animal nonprofits are falling behind in talent attraction in a competitive landscape.

While the for-profit industry invested an astounding USD$761 billion globally in recruitment and HR services in 2023 (IBIS World Research), the non-profit farmed animal space allocated a modest $500,000 to in-house recruiters worldwide.

With such a lack of investment, it is no wonder we are struggling to recruit talent. As a resource constrained movement, the need for a team of high-achievers becomes even more crucial to our mission’s success

That’s where AAC comes in: we’re bridging the talent gap for impactful change

AAC steps in as a vital bridge, as the only organisation supporting both candidates and organisations. We provide innovative, tailored solutions that enhance hiring practices, attract diverse talents, and build a robust pipeline of future advocates.

We recruit talented individuals from outside the movement, bringing the best professionals to the movement and empowering them to join us in making a lasting impact for animals.
We work with hundreds of organisations focused on food system change, food security, alternative proteins, corporate campaigns and institutional change helping them to accelerate their mission through top talent.
We nurture a pipeline of future leaders. Through our educational initiatives, we cultivate a steady stream of visionary leaders ready to tackle one of the world’s most pressing issues.

Transforming the animal advocacy movement by empowering a global community of impact

Animal Advocacy Careers is at the forefront of driving innovative change in the animal advocacy movement.

We recognize that long-standing strategies and tactics in the animal movement have been tested, but the challenges persist. That’s why we focus on a key aspect often overlooked – the quality of human resources within the movement. By attracting and empowering exceptional individuals, we bring a fresh perspective and innovative approaches to the table.

By fostering an international community of dedicated over-performers, we strive to outcompete, win campaigns, win legal battles, transform the minds of people and governments to build towards a more sustainable food system and end animal suffering.
