The Field Manager Role

Completing our Field Manager application may lead to placement in any of the following
managerial roles:
• Fish Welfare Officers support the development of our welfare standard through
research, testing, and evaluation.
• Program Coordinators support our farmer work by managing data collectors in one
particular region.
• Farmers Program Managers support our farmer work by managing program
coordinators across multiple regions.

Though responsibilities vary somewhat by the specific role, our field managers will generally
be tasked with the following:
• Manage 1-10 staff members
• Build and maintain strong farmer relationships
• Ensure regular and high-quality data collection and entry
• Run on-the-ground trials to test out practices that may be better for fish welfare
• Enroll farmers in the Alliance for Responsible Aquaculture
• Become an expert in aquaculture and fish welfare
• Collaborate with local NGOs and other partners
• Regularly articulate the benefits and value of animal welfare in aquaculture

For an example of a Field Manager's responsibilities, see this job description of our ARA
Program Coordinator. The responsibilities may differ with the role.
