Eurogroup for Animals is the Brussels based European umbrella advocacy organisation, representing 84 national and international members across Europe and beyond. Together we provide a voice for the billions of animals kept in laboratories, farms and homes or living in the wild. Our vision is to build a Europe that truly cares for animals where the well-being of animals is assured and where they experience a good life.
The purpose of Eurogroup for Animals is to drive positive change for animals by convening its members around common goals, and coordinating EU wide action to jointly influence EU law and policy making. Our advocacy work consists of dedicated programmes and a growing portfolio of projects and campaigns.
Given the significant challenges of the climate crisis and the threats to biodiversity, the European Commission is rethinking its agricultural and food policies through the EU Green Deal and the Farm to Fork strategy, in particular with the new Sustainable EU food system initiative.
Eurogroup for Animals’ farm animals programme aims at transformative food system change by significantly reducing animal production and consumption. We do this through working for policies that support a shift to more plant-based diets in tandem with driving systemic change in animal farming.
We are looking for a driven Project Officer to implement our new exciting project for a sustainable food system, working in close collaboration with our project partners from consumer and health organisations, and together with our member organisations. The project focuses on mobilising around our work for ‘less and better’ animal source products in the new EU Sustainable food system initiative and in the upcoming European Parliament elections.
In close collaboration with our project partners, execute the sustainable food systems project and roll out activities to influence the EU Sustainable food system initiative and the upcoming EU elections, including:
The Project Officer is placed in our farmed animals team and reports to the Political Adviser Food Policy who is in charge of the Food Policy advocacy portfolio. The project has administrative support from the Project Manager. You will work closely with our member organisations and our external project partners as well as liaise with other colleagues in the communications team and political affairs team.
38 hours per week, contract under Belgian law. The project is subject to funding that ends in June 2024. Competitive remuneration and benefits package offered.
