PEPR is an organizational effectiveness firm dedicated to strengthening high-impact organizations — with a particular focus on the farmed animal advocacy movement. We partner with nonprofits, advocacy organizations, social enterprises, movement leaders, and funders to build the strategic clarity, internal capacity, financial resilience, and organizational foundations they need to grow, adapt, and deliver lasting change. We believe that stronger organizations create a stronger movement, and more impact for animals.

Our work sits across three areas: Enable — embedded fractional teams running core operations; Engage — compliant, values-aligned global hiring and EOR infrastructure; and Elevate — advisory engagements, short-term projects, and the Animal Advocacy Ops Collective community. Across all three, our goal is the same: to unlock impact.

The Role

This role is the operational backbone of PEPR. You serve as the CEO's number two across our full portfolio of clients and projects — running client operations, managing delivery across engagements, and jumping in wherever the work needs doing. Where our project-based consultants bring focused expertise to defined engagements, you bring continuity, coordination, and hands-on operational delivery across everything we do. You be comfortable jumping in across the operational remit - and leveraging the wider PEPR team where needed. If you love making things work — and take genuine pride in being the person who does the work that needs to be done — this role was designed for you.

You will support PEPR in structuring our internal processes - and also work on a wide range of client projects which may include; project managing a new organizational launch, managing and overseeing compliance activity with external partners, developing policies and processes, and helping organizations plan for, and navigate moments of growth and change.

You will blend operational leadership and project management, positioning clients to be the best versions of themselves - ensuring that they have the internal operational excellence to advance their mission.

We are a small and mighty, growing team. Just like many of the clients we reach, we are in a startup phase and building our own infrastructure as we scale.

Experience in nonprofit environments in the US and/or UK will be valuable for candidates to be successful in this role. We are open to candidates based in the US or the UK - and open to candidates looking for a full-time or part-time position.
