Director, Farm Animal Legislation

Summary :

The Director of Farm Animal Legislation will drive the ASPCA's policy agenda to reform the animal agriculture system and help better the lives of farm animals - the largest category of animals on earth who experience extreme cruelty. The ideal candidate for this role is an effective, determined, and resourceful advocate with strong experience in collaboration who is passionate about working to fix our broken food system and improve conditions for farm animals.

The majority of the more than 10 billion animals farmed for food each year in the U.S. currently live in grossly inhumane conditions. The ASPCA identifies and supports legislative and regulatory policies that diminish the number of animals suffering in factory farms and reduce the negative consequences to people, animals, and the environment associated with industrial animal agriculture. As our society focuses on the need for reforms, there are enormous challenges and opportunities for change-making.

The Director of Farm Animal Legislation will lead the ASPCA's farm animal welfare legislative campaigns, identify and capitalize on opportunities to reach the ASPCA's farm animal policy goals in agriculture-related legislative, regulatory, and policy work. The Director will contribute to compelling public messaging and education campaigns to highlight the need for farm welfare reforms. The Director will report to the Vice President, Federal Affairs, working closely with Farm Animal Welfare and Legal Advocacy Teams to develop, strategize, coordinate, lobby for, manage, and implement legislative and regulatory policies. This position will also work with the Vice President of State Affairs on any state-related strategies.
