About the role 

As our One Health Officer, you’ll play a pivotal role in continuing to strengthen Compassion in World Farming’s influence in global One Health policy spaces. You will be able to provide technical, analytical, and strategic support to the International Affairs Team, helping to embed animal welfare into One Health approaches across UN and multilateral processes.

As part of CIWF’s International Affairs Strategy, this role focuses on strategic intelligence, policy analysis, and evidence synthesis to support engagement with the Quadripartite (WHO, FAO, WOAH, UNEP), UN General Assembly, AMR negotiations, and food systems governance.

As our One Health Officer, you’ll be responsible for:

• Monitoring and analysing the global One Health policy landscape across UN and multilateral institutions
• Producing high‑quality policy analysis, evidence synthesis, and strategic briefings
• Identifying opportunities to integrate animal welfare into One Health frameworks and global policy debates
• Supporting the delivery of CIWF’s One Health Strategy for 2026–2027
• Supporting in building and sustaining relationships with Member States, UN agencies, civil society partners, and researchers
• Strengthening CIWF’s visibility and influence in One Health‑related fora

• Proven ability to produce high‑quality policy briefs, evidence syntheses, or technical papers
• Excellent written and spoken English, with strong drafting skills for policy and diplomatic audiences
• Ability to build and maintain strategic international networks
• Willing to travel internationally and work flexibly across global time zones
