• Engage tourism platforms, travel media, and partners to expand EFN's reach
• Lead the development and finalization of the EFN network agreement (MOU)
• Facilitate member consensus on welfare principles and strengthen network governance
• Manage stakeholder relationships with government agencies and tourism bodies
• Deliver at least one annual EFN strategy forum
• Manage the project budget and support fundraising efforts as needed
• Provide supporting input to the elephant venue transition pipeline

Key Deliverables

• Consumer-facing EFN website launched with measurable growth in traffic, engagement, and bookings
• EFN MOU finalized and implemented
• Structured engagement established with key government and tourism stakeholders
• At least one annual EFN strategy forum delivered
• Measurable increase in EFN network engagement and industry positioning
• Supporting input to the elephant venue transition pipeline

Who We Are Looking For

• 7–10 years' experience in project management, network coordination, or program management
• Proven experience in digital marketing, consumer outreach, SEO, or campaign management
• Strong project management skills with a track record of delivering against KPIs
• Experience managing multi-stakeholder initiatives, including government and industry partners
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English (Thai is an advantage)
• Comfortable working independently in a remote/hybrid environment

 Note: Animal welfare expertise is not required — technical knowledge will be provided by the team. We are hiring for management and marketing strength.
