Summary :

The Director of Farm Animal Legislation will drive the ASPCA's policy agenda to reform the animal agriculture system and help better the lives of farm animals – the largest category of animals on earth who experience extreme cruelty. The ideal candidate for this role is an effective, determined, and resourceful advocate with strong experience in collaboration who is passionate about working to fix our broken food system and improve conditions for farm animals.

The majority of the more than 10 billion animals farmed for food each year in the U.S. currently live in grossly inhumane conditions. The ASPCA identifies and supports legislative and regulatory policies that diminish the number of animals suffering in factory farms and reduce the negative consequences to people, animals, and the environment associated with industrial animal agriculture. As our society focuses on the need for reforms, there are enormous challenges and opportunities for change-making.

The Director of Farm Animal Legislation will lead the ASPCA's farm animal welfare legislative campaigns, identify and capitalize on opportunities to reach the ASPCA's farm animal policy goals in agriculture-related legislative, regulatory, and policy work. The Director will contribute to compelling public messaging and education campaigns to highlight the need for farm welfare reforms. The Director will report to the Vice President, Federal Affairs, working closely with Farm Animal Welfare and Legal Advocacy Teams to develop, strategize, coordinate, lobby for, manage, and implement legislative and regulatory policies. This position will also work with the Vice President of State Affairs on any state-related strategies.

About Us

The ASPCA was founded in 1866 on the belief that animals are entitled to kind and respectful treatment by humans and must be protected under the law. As a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation with more than two million supporters nationwide, the ASPCA is committed to preventing cruelty to dogs, cats, equines, and farm animals throughout the United States.

The ASPCA is headquartered in New York City, where we maintain a full-service animal hospital, spay / neuter clinic, mobile spay / neuter and primary pet care clinics, a rehabilitation center for canine victims of cruelty, kitten nursery, adoption center, and two community veterinary centers.

The ASPCA also operates programs and services that extend nationwide. We assist animals in need through on-the-ground disaster and cruelty interventions, behavioral rehabilitation, animal placement, legal and legislative advocacy, and the advancement of the sheltering and veterinary community through research, training, and resources.

At the ASPCA, we are committed to fostering a collaborative and compassionate culture and we welcome all voices to contribute to our lifesaving mission. Our staff represent a vast array of backgrounds and diversity dimensions, bringing with them valuable experiences and perspectives. They join the ASPCA to learn, grow, and continually do their best work on behalf of animals. We are inspired by our staff, partners, and the communities we support across the country who work to improve animal lives. We are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion at the ASPCA because it elevates our organizational culture, aligns with our Core Values, and enables us to move further and faster toward the ASPCA's vision – that all animals live good lives; valued by society, protected by its laws, and free from cruelty, pain and suffering.
