About Tilt Collective

Tilt Collective is a global organisation driving systemic change in the food system. Through strategic grant-making, research, and collaboration, Tilt empowers civil society, philanthropy, and both the public and private sectors to accelerate the transition towards a more equitable, sustainable, plant-rich food system.

By addressing the interlocking climate, health, and nature crises caused by intensive animal agriculture, Tilt works to create a world where everyone is nourished by sustainable, healthy, and affordable food. The organisation plays a crucial role in shifting global food systems by advancing plant-rich diets, influencing policy, and reducing reliance on livestock production.

​

The Role

As part of the executive leadership team, the CCO will develop and implement a global communications strategy that strengthens Tilt's brand and enhances its impact across a highly dispersed network of partners and grantees.

Reporting to the CEO, you will lead efforts to position Tilt Collective as a trusted, solutions-driven force in food system transformation. This requires expertise in crafting narratives on complex and often contentious topics, as well as a strategic, movement-generous approach to communications that advances Tilt's mission without relying on traditional corporate PR.

​

• Develop and lead crisis communications strategies, proactively mitigating reputational risks.

• Manage and develop a high-performing communications team, embedding best practices in a matrixed, global structure that aligns with all programme areas.

​

What You Will Bring

• Extensive experience in strategic communications, with a track record of advancing a brand in a subtle, movement-generous way.

• A background in corporate communications, philanthropy, or public affairs-ideally in food systems, social impact, or sustainability.

• Proven success in brand-building and messaging around contentious topics, with the ability to influence narratives in a way that drives systemic change.

• Strong stakeholder engagement and influencing skills, with experience working across senior executives, policymakers, funders, and advocacy groups.

• Experience leading communications within a matrixed, global organisation, ensuring consistency across dispersed teams and networks.

• Entrepreneurial spirit and the ability to be adaptive to a fast changing, scaling start uporganisation.

• Executive leadership experience, with a strong background in team-building and cross-functional collaboration.

​

This is a unique opportunity to shape the global conversation on food system transformation, positioning Tilt Collective as a catalyst for change while advancing a more sustainable, plant-rich future.
