Senior Manager, Eastern Regional Policy

<div><a href="https://www.insectinstitute.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Insect Institute</a>&nbsp;addresses urgent issues relating to environmental sustainability, climate change, animal welfare, and public health in the context of the rapidly-growing insects as food and feed industry.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>We are now hiring for a vital, exciting, foundational role:&nbsp; a full-time program coordinator or program officer (depending on the qualifications of the successful candidate). Reporting directly to Dustin Crummett, our Executive Director, the successful candidate will be our second full-time team member, and will be tasked with helping to carry out the Insect Institute&rsquo;s interventions.&nbsp; This is a high-responsibility role, where you will have the opportunity to drive real impact for our mission.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Specific assignments may be tailored partly to the qualifications and strengths of the successful candidate, but are likely to include, for instance, outreach to and engagement with relevant stakeholders, such as policymakers, regulators, other non-profits, or potentially media. Suitably skilled candidates may also be offered the opportunity to contribute to tasks such as research and report writing. As we have a small core team and are working in a novel area, the successful candidate must possess flexibility and adaptability, including the ability to contribute to new projects, support strategic pivots, and more generally to proactively do what is needed to help the Insect Institute&rsquo;s projects be successfully carried out. The role will likely become more specialized as our team expands in the future, with, again, the development of the position depending on the qualifications and strengths of the candidate. Program Coordinators hired at a more senior level will be entrusted with significant responsibility and potentially asked for input on the strategic direction of the organization. Program Officers hired at a less senior level may have opportunities for promotion as the organization expands in the future. We expect that a more senior level will be offered based primarily on the degree to which the successful candidate meets the preferred qualifications listed below.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>This role is fully remote and we are able to legally hire in many countries; it would be especially helpful if candidates are in the US or UK, but please do not let this deter you from applying if you are not. In certain cases, we may be able to provide visa sponsorship to the US or UK and help candidates relocate, though, again, this is not required. If you have questions about whether we can hire or provide visa sponsorship in another country and if this will influence your decision about applying, please contact&nbsp;<a href="mailto:info@insectinstitute.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">info@insectinstitute.org</a>&nbsp;before submitting your application. While we welcome applicants from all time zones, you may be expected to attend meetings during working hours in North America. Depending on your personal timezone, this might mean early morning or evening calls; however, you would not be required to attend calls outside of waking hours.
