World Animal Protection Australia and New Zealand is looking for a Campaign Manager to lead out effective and impactful animal welfare campaigns and to assist the development and execution of our campaign strategy across ANZ.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced strategic campaigner to build effective collaborations and strategic alliances with other organisations and stakeholders to deliver our campaigns and plans.

Who are we?

World Animal Protection is the global voice for animal welfare, with more than 70 years’ experience campaigning for a world where animals live free from cruelty and suffering. We have offices in 12 countries and work across 47 countries. We collaborate with local communities, the private sector, civil society and governments to change animals’ lives for the better.

Our goal is to change the way the world works to end animal cruelty and suffering for both wild and farmed animals. Through our global food system strategy, we will end factory farming and create a humane and sustainable food system, that puts animals first. By transforming the broken systems that fuel exploitation and commodification, we will give wild animals the right to a wild life. Our work to protect animals will play a vital role in solving the climate emergency, the public health crisis and the devastation of natural habitats.
