Who we are
Animal Advocacy Africa (AAA) works to prevent the spread of industrial animal agriculture in Africa and to address the harms it already causes – by finding and developing the people and organisations who can make the biggest difference for animals on the continent. For more information on our work, please browse our website. We especially recommend reading the yearly reviews on our Blog and skimming the Programmes section.
The people who thrive at AAA care deeply about farmed animals and want to help them as effectively as possible. In practice, that means following the evidence even when it points somewhere unexpected, and being willing to change your mind, including about our own programmes.
If you meet most of the essential criteria and the work excites you, please apply. We’d rather see your application than have you rule yourself out. If you’re not sure which role fits best, you can flag interest in more than one.
All roles are full time and remote. Start dates staggered from December 2026 through March 2027. Salaries are defined based on responsibilities, location, and personal circumstances. For the sake of cost-effectiveness and mission alignment, we typically do not meet industry-equivalent salaries. For the same reasons, some of our leadership team sacrifices parts of their salary. Staff are encouraged to do so but not expected. We are open to hiring from Africa, Europe and most other regions, as long as you can work at least 3 hours each weekday that overlap with roughly 8am to 5pm in European and African time zones (about UTC+0 to UTC+3).
