Rethink Priorities

Program Officer

• Conduct decision-oriented analysis and intervention evaluations for neglected terrestrial invertebrate welfare
• Run shallow intervention reviews and make defensible recommendations within fixed time budgets
• Identify and interview experts when academic and gray literature is insufficient
• Analyze production systems, economics, costs, and potential commercial viability at scale
• Specify external analytical work and quality-assure contractor deliverables
• Analyze published financial disclosures to assess company or sector trajectories
• Scope, commission, and manage external contractors or consultancies
• Decide when to stop external work that is not delivering
• Organize coordination events and follow through on agreed actions
• Write and present funder updates on project achievements, shortcomings, and improvements
• Present work at conferences and build field relationships
• Identify and evaluate new opportunities, running with promising ideas or ending ineffective ones
• Exercise discretion over sensitive information
• Manage contractors and external partners; no current line management of RP staff
• Spend roughly half the time on farmed terrestrial invertebrates and half on wild invertebrates, with the balance shifting as opportunities change
