About Veganuary:

Be part of a small, but dynamic?organisation that makes headlines in January and throughout the year! Veganuary is an international non-profit organisation that encourages people worldwide to try vegan in January and beyond. Veganuary's popular cultural appeal, along with our positive and non-judgemental approach to veganism, is making a measurable difference for animals and the planet as well as improving people's health. We proactively support people and businesses alike to explore the diverse world of plant-based foods and the benefits they bring.

This is a very exciting time to join our international team of talented, valued and committed people who enjoy their ability to collaboratively contribute to this amazing cause.

Empowerment: we will optimise our outreach to support and encourage people on their vegan journey in a non-judgemental, positive, constructive and easily accessible way.

Collaboration: by partnering with other mission-driven organisations and working closely with

corporates, we will make a bigger difference.

Diversity and inclusion: we know that it takes people with different ideas, strengths, interests and backgrounds to achieve our vision; we appreciate the value of this and how it brings us closer to achieving our mission.

Respect and integrity: in all internal and external relationships, we will strive for genuine, honest, and transparent communication.

Resilience: we will continue to create a professional and sustainable (human, social, economic and environmental) organisation.
