ProVeg International is an international non-profit organisation that accelerates the transition to a sustainable global food system by promoting plant-rich diets and alternative proteins. It conducts advocacy and policy work, corporate engagement, public education (recipes, Veggie Challenge), and runs innovation programs and an incubator to support plant-based food startups. ProVeg publishes data and market reports, runs campaigns and partnerships (e. g. , Food Innovation Challenge, V‑Label), and operates in multiple countries to reduce reliance on animal agriculture for environmental, health, and animal welfare reasons.

📋 Description

• Develop and deliver research projects as part of ProVeg’s Global Programmes and impact areas, ensuring alignment with strategic objectives. • Identify opportunities and research gaps to support the achievement of programme and organisational strategy objectives. • Work closely with colleagues across teams, countries, and disciplines to align efforts and avoid silos. • Generate clear, actionable insights on consumer behaviour, needs, and market trends related to plant-based foods and plant-forward diets. • Monitor and interpret developments in the plant-based, nutrition, and health landscape, identifying emerging trends, risks, and white-space opportunities. • Translate complex data into compelling narratives, recommendations, and visuals for cross-functional teams, senior leadership, and external audiences. • Produce high-quality research outputs, including academic publications, flagship reports, policy briefs, blogs, and thought-leadership materials that position ProVeg as a credible authority in nutrition and health. • Contribute to shared organisational knowledge by documenting methods, tools, and learnings that others across ProVeg can build on. • Support the Comms Departments with press requests and media releases, answer internal research requests in a timely manner, and prepare briefings or presentations for the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) for speaking engagements or external meetings. • Lead own projects from design to implementation, identifying schedules, scopes, budget estimations and support in budget acquisition, project implementation plans, including risk mitigation and project team management. • Build relationships with key strategic partners that help us achieve our goals. • Represent ProVeg and give presentations and talks at specialised events/conferences, as required.
