This position is posted by The Foundation to Support Animal Protection (FSAP) on behalf of PETA.

Job Description

The campaign for animal rights is an ever-evolving one, and as technology advances, so do our tactics. We are constantly thinking of new ways to grab people's attention for animals. For example, in PETA's "I, Chicken" exhibit, students on campuses across the country are using virtual reality to experience what life is like for chickens abused on factory farms. That kind of novel use of technology is what this position will assist in developing. PETA's drone program is another example of the type of cutting-edge project that we use to get people talking about animal rights. The ideal candidate for this position will be a skilled writer who is interested in science and technology and able to research both technical and nontechnical subjects.

Primary Responsibilities and Duties:

  1. Brainstorm creative uses of technology like the "I, Chicken" exhibit and PETA's drone program to further the animal rights movement
  2. Write both creative and technical pieces for PETA, both internally and externally
  3. Attend tradeshows on behalf of PETA
  4. Research trends and new developments in science and technology to stay knowledgeable about the industry
  5. Advocate on behalf of PETA and its interests to the public
  6. Develop existing creative projects from PETA to expand their reach and effectiveness
  7. Collaborate with multiple departments at PETA and the PETA Foundation to work on the logistics of new projects

Qualifications

  1. Minimum of one year of project management, academic research, and/or creative experience
  2. Thorough knowledge of animal rights issues and PETA campaigns
  3. An active interest in science and technology
  4. Outgoing and personable manner and the ability to communicate effectively with a variety of people
  5. Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  6. Proven excellent organizational skills and attention to detail
  7. Proven ability to work independently and with minimal supervision
  8. Professional appearance and adherence to a vegan lifestyle
