With preparations for the 2022 Veganuary campaign well underway, it is indeed an exciting time to join our international team of talented, valued and committed staff who enjoy their ability to collaboratively contribute to this amazing cause. 

Role Description 

We are looking for a Corporate Engagement Officer to support on Veganuary’s work with established companies in the food sector in the UK and abroad. You will work closely with our International Corporate Engagement Management in the UK and provide project management support on an international level, working closely with our teams in Germany, the US, India and Latin America. We are looking for someone who is an experienced project manager, extremely organised, and a well-versed, skilled communicator.

• Facilitate effective communication between our corporate engagement departments in different countries through the organisation of our international bi-weekly corporate calls, the set-up of our international Asana projects and the adaptation of our materials and resources to different country contexts.

• Facilitate the evaluation and tracking processes on an international level by coordinating the set-up and completion of our “corporate tracker” via Excel, as well as supporting the data management through our database on Salesforce 

• With the support of the International Corporate Engagement Manager, identify, support and encourage businesses (mostly, but not exclusively from the food industry) to increase their provision of plant-based products and menu items, as well as promoting veganism and Veganuary 

• Liaise with businesses to keep their information about plant-based offerings through our channels up-to-date and facilitate joined news releases 

• Support on various projects within our UK based corporate engagement department 

• Identify, support and encourage businesses to take part in the Veganuary Workplace Challenge in the UK 

• Host corporate meetings or webinars and prepare presentations for stakeholders

Person Specification:

• A good understanding of the operating environment of the food sector and corporates within it

• Ability to maintain confidentiality 

• You share and will support Veganuary’s vision and values (see below) 

Our Vision: 

Our vision is simple; we want a vegan world. A world without animal farms and slaughterhouses. A world where food production does not decimate forests, pollute rivers and oceans, exacerbate climate change, and drive wild animal populations to extinction. 
 

Our Values: 

Impact: we are committed to a vegan world; we will utilise research to evaluate how the highest number of lives can be spared and direct resources to that end. 

Empowerment: we will optimise our outreach to support and encourage people on their vegan journey in a non-judgemental, positive, constructive and easily accessible way. 

Collaboration: by partnering with other mission-driven organisations and working closely with corporates, we will make a bigger difference. 

Diversity and inclusion: we know that it takes people with different ideas, strengths, interests and backgrounds to achieve our vision; we appreciate the value of this and how it brings us closer to achieving our mission. 

Respect and integrity: in all internal and external relationships, we will strive for genuine, honest, and transparent communication. 

Resilience: we will continue to create a professional and sustainable (human, social, economic and environmental) organisation. 

Veganuary is an equal opportunities employer and is committed to creating an inclusive work culture that reflects and celebrates our diverse world. We therefore welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons, regardless of their ethnicity, sex, disability, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marriage and civil partnership status, or age.
