This job is a rare, entry-level opportunity to join a fun, friendly, dynamic and exciting organisation working on one of the greatest challenges of our time: transforming the food system to halt environmental destruction and ensure food security.
The overall purpose of the role is to help end industrial livestock farming, through supporting our Big Livestock Versus the Planet campaign. This is a new area of work for Feedback that aims to research and expose the banks and investors that are funding industrial meat and dairy corporations, and mobilise the public, civil society, students in calling for an end of finance to this industry.
We are looking for an energetic, dynamic and dedicated person to mobilise UK groups to take on campaigns that expose banks and investors funding Big Livestock. You will build and maintain strong external relationships with partners, student and community groups and work to empower volunteers. As well as coordinating the grass-roots campaign work, you’ll also support research and campaigning centrally, as Feedback pushes to make funding Big Livestock unacceptably risky and socially toxic.

- Support research, with a focus on debt and equity relationships in the Big Livestock sector to identify financial relationships suitable for public campaigns
- With support, manage relationships with key external partners and coalitions (50by40)
- Working with the Comms team, support the development of social media content and traditional media exposure for the campaign
