Dear EA Forum Readers,

Legal Impact for Chickens is looking for a passionate and hard-working Operations Specialist to join us as we continue to grow our nonprofit and fight for animals. This is a new position, and you will have the ability to influence our operations and play an important role in our work.

The responsibilities of this position are varied, covering operational, administrative, and paralegal work, and we will consider a variety of candidates and experiences. Therefore, the final job title may differ depending on the final candidate.

Want to join us?

About our work and why you should join us

Legal Impact for Chickens (LIC) is a 501(c)(3) litigation nonprofit. We work to protect farmed animals.

You may have seen our Costco shareholder derivative suit in The Washington Post, Fox Business, or CNN Business—or even on TikTok.

You also may have heard of LIC from our recent Animal Charity Evaluators (ACE) recommendation.

Now, we’re looking for our next hire: an entrepreneurial Operations Specialist to support us in our fight for animals!

Legal Impact for Chickens is currently a team of three litigators. You will join LIC as our first non-litigator employee and support the entire team.

About you

You might be a great fit for this position if you have many of the following qualities:

• Passion for helping farmed animals

• Extremely organized, thoughtful, and dependable

• Strong interpersonal skills

• Interest in the law and belief that litigation can help animals

• Zealous, creative, and enthusiastic

• Excited to build this startup nonprofit!

• Willingness to help with all types of nonprofit startup work, from litigation support to HR to finance

• Strong work ethic and initiative

• Love of learning

• Paralegal experience or certificate preferred, but not required

• Experience with various aspects of operations (such as bookkeeping and IT) preferred, but not required

• Experience growing a new team preferred, but not required

• Kind to our fellow humans, and excited about creating a welcoming, inclusive team

About the role

You will be an integral part of LIC. You’ll help shape our organization’s future.

Your role will be a combination of (1) assisting the lawyers with litigation tasks, and (2) helping with everything else we need to do, to build and run a growing nonprofit organization!

Since this is such a small organization, you’ll wear many hats: Sometimes you’ll act as a paralegal, formatting a table of authorities, performing legal research, or preparing a binder for a hearing. Sometimes you’ll act as an HR manager, making sure we have the right trainings and benefits available. Sometimes you’ll act as an administrative assistant, tracking expenditures and donations, booking travel arrangements, or helping LIC’s president with email management. Sometimes you’ll act as LIC’s front line for communicating with the public, monitoring info@legalimpactforchickens.org emails, thanking donors, or making calls to customer service representatives on LIC’s behalf. Sometimes you’ll pitch in on LIC’s communications, social media, and public education efforts. If you’re the kind of person who likes to handle many different types of work, this role is for you!

This job offers tremendous opportunity for professional growth and the ability to create valuable impact for animals. The hope is for you to become an indispensable, long-time member of our new team.

Commitment: Full time

Location and travel: This is a remote, U.S.-based position. You must be available to travel for work as needed, since we will litigate all over the country.

Reports to: Alene Anello, LIC’s president

Salary: $50,000–$70,000 depending on experience

Benefits: Health insurance (with ability to buy dental), 401(k), life insurance, flexible schedule, unlimited PTO (plus mandatory vacation!), room for advancement as the organization grows
