We are an organisation fighting animal suffering. We are part of an international organisation, Anima International, and since 2017, we oppose animal cruelty in Norway. To achieve our goal we use scientific evidence, careful reasoning, and draw upon decades of collective experience. Just in the last few years, we have successfully helped improve the lives of tens of millions of farmed animals in Norway.
Our current objective is clear: to get the food giant McDonald’s to improve its animal welfare standards and finally close the gap that separates this company from most of Norway’s food industry, which has already begun to move away from outdated practices. This work is part of our broader effort to further our progress on helping the 75 million chickens raised annually in Norway, most of whom still endure severe suffering under current production systems.
At Anima we won’t stop until we end animal suffering. We invite you to join us and help make it happen.

About your role
We are a small and ambitious early-stage organisation with two full-time team members. Joining us now means stepping into a formative moment – helping to build an organization that will shape how animals are treated in Norway for years to come.
As a Campaigns & Communications Generalist, you’ll be part strategist, part doer. You will help design ambitious campaigns and spend time on the frontlines – talking to companies, producing reports, engaging with the media, and finding creative ways to make change happen.
Our current objective is to convince McDonald’s and Norway’s largest food businesses to phase-out the use of “turbochickens” – birds that are bred to grow so unnaturally fast that many struggle to stand, breathe, or survive their own body weight. You will be an important part of achieving this through both public and behind-the-scenes advocacy.
Running a campaign is much like running a business, and in this work you will be both a partner and an owner.
We can adapt to you
Due to the broad scope of our work, there is no simple description of the perfect campaigner. You may be stronger in some areas than others, and we’re open to shaping the role around your strengths and weaknesses. What matters most is your mindset. We’re looking for someone who treats the mission as their own, learns fast, and does what’s needed.
We are looking for a generalist rather than a specialist. Some traits are essential: resilience, persistence, creativity, and critical thinking.
No previous experience is required for this role. We value mindset, clarity of thought, and drive over credentials. While experience will be valued (and reflected in the salary), we welcome applications from both seasoned professionals and passionate newcomers who align with our organisational culture.
You’ll learn a lot along the way. You won’t know everything on day one — and that’s fine. We’ll help you get there. You’ll thrive in Anima if you see problems and fix them, take initiative without waiting to be asked, and care deeply about making the organization succeed for the animals.
We prepared support materials to help you progress through our recruitment process. We'll also be hosting informational webinars.
