Summary

At Animal Think Tank we aim to use movement theory and strategic nonviolence to win Animal Freedom. This means that we must have a good understanding of these fields as well as practical knowledge as to how to implement the best ideas. This role will be researching, studying and bringing in insights from movement theory. To do this you will need to identify gaps in our knowledge, uphold innovation from the grassroots, design and carry out research projects and also be creative in dreaming up ways we can use our powerful Theory of Change.

You will be managing a portfolio containing our approach to strategy, key recommendations, lessons and insights that will consider our own work at ATT and the wider movement. This role will act as a bank of knowledge in these areas.

In the long term you will be looking to help to raise and distribute strategic capacity amongst those in key leadership positions in ATT and the social movement.
