Role Summary
ProVeg Brazil has been recently established as a not-for-profit organization with headquarters in the city of São Paulo and further advancing ProVegâs mission of transforming the global food system by replacing 50% of animal products globally with plant-based and cultivated foods by 2040.
The Public Policy Manager supports our ambitious campaigns to promote the reduction of animal consumption in line with our 5 Pros (Pro-Health, Environment, Animals, Justice, and Taste) in Brazil. The ideal candidate is a talented communicator & organizer with an outgoing, positive, and professional attitude, who has experience building up relationships and articulating initiatives with policymakers, other non-profits and the civil society. This is a new position as ProVeg expands its efforts in Brazil, which will build on our public education, food policy and public policy initiatives and will require flexibility and adaptability as political realities and public opinions shift.Â
The Public Policy Manager will report primarily to the Country Director at ProVeg Brazil and will work collaboratively and in tight alignment with other departments, especially the UN international team, when it comes to the run up and unfolding of the COP30 initiatives. The successful candidate will also work closely with allied organizations and should be able to nurture these relationships to foster successful coalitions. The candidate will be responsible for representing ProVeg in the media, to our supporters, and to coalitions, while performing political outreach, engaging with policymakers, mapping and identifying opportunities for pushing for new policies, regulations and law bills both in the national sphere and in the UNFCCC environment.
