There are over 60 million working donkeys and mules in the world, but millions are being killed every year for the inhumane donkey skin trade, leading the African Union to announce plans for a moratorium on donkey slaughter and the development of a strategy for working animals across the continent.

  • Significant experience in a strategic advocacy leadership role.
  • Solid experience leading teams to develop and implement effective advocacy strategies.
  • Able to engage stakeholders with good communication skills, experienced in influencing governments, intergovernmental bodies and other influential partners.
  • Strong experience in identifying and developing creative and engaging advocacy plans.
  • A proven track record of working internationally in a functional, cross departmental leadership position.
  • Experience of integrating departmental work with other parts of an organisation and translating complex messages to a wide range of stakeholders including senior management and international colleagues.
  • Experience of working with the media at a national and international level.

About the Organisation
