Some people see barriers. You see routes forward.
When others say something is impossible, you start thinking about how it might work after all.
When others talk about the need for change, you’ve already started sketching out a plan to make it happen. Your default mindset isn’t “it can’t be done”. It’s “how do we do it?”.
Project 1882 is looking for a Campaign Strategist who wants to help change the lives of millions of animals. Someone who can identify opportunities that others miss, find ways forward when doors seem closed, and develop strategies that lead to real change.
You don’t need to think about the Roman Empire several times a week. There are others at Project 1882 who do that. But it doesn’t hurt to think in terms of battlefield strategy every now and then. Where is the opportunity? Which alliance is missing? Which path has no one tried yet? Which move can bring about the greatest change for the most animals?
In this role, you’ll be responsible for identifying how Project 1882 can make the biggest difference within our areas of work, developing strategies to achieve this, and strengthening the organisation’s advocacy work. You’ll work closely with our campaign specialists and other colleagues to ensure that ideas become reality and that our campaigns, partnerships and initiatives lead to tangible results for animals.
We’re looking for someone who combines strategic thinking with a strong bias for action. You don’t wait for the perfect conditions. If the tool isn’t there, you build it. If the path isn’t there, you find a new one. If no one else has tackled the problem, you see it as an opportunity rather than an obstacle.
You are driven by finding new ways forward and bringing about change where it is needed most. You dare to think outside the box and have the perseverance to keep moving forward even when change seems a long way off.
For you, simply highlighting problems is not enough. You want to solve them. For you, ‘impossible’ is rarely the end of the discussion. It is the start of the strategy.
Strengthen and develop Project 1882’s impact by continuously monitoring the external environment and identifying new forms and tools for advocacy and communication.
Drive effective campaigns from concept through to implementation and follow-up by leading working groups and collaborating with colleagues and volunteers.
Raise the profile of campaign work through clear and regular external and internal communication regarding the content, status and outcomes of campaigns.
Strengthen Project 1882's capacity for impact by integrating resource mobilisation into campaign work.
Develop training materials and provide in-house training within the field of work.
Experience of leading and developing campaigns aimed at shaping public opinion and influencing society.
Knowledge of how strategic campaigns are planned and prioritised to bring about change.
Experience of monitoring, evaluating and developing campaign work based on campaign results.
The ability to analyse target groups, decision-makers, decision-making processes and opportunities for influence.
The ability to translate strategy into concrete objectives, priorities and activities.
Ability to monitor developments in the wider world and identify new opportunities, trends and approaches within advocacy and campaign work.
You have a very good command of spoken and written Swedish and English.
Knowledge of animal rights, animal welfare or sustainability issues.
You share the organisation’s animal rights values. We all follow a vegan diet at work.
Experience of the animal rights movement, either as an employee or a volunteer.
Experience of campaigning within the non-profit sector, including practical campaign or event work.
Experience of political advocacy, corporate advocacy and working with decision-makers.
Experience of fundraising and/or resource mobilisation.
