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 100+ talented individuals dispersed around the world.

At THL, how animals are treated in the food system is at the forefront of our everyday work. 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.

This position plays a critical role in advancing THL’s corporate animal welfare commitments in the US and globally, ensuring measurable improvements for millions of animals annually.

Following a recent organizational realignment, this role will play an important part in strengthening team cohesion, building trust, and supporting managers through change while maintaining strong campaign performance.
