Culture
Faunalytics is a small but mighty team working towards a big mission: to help make the animal protection movement more effective.
Key to succeeding in our mission is recognizing that all of our relationships matter — not only the relationships that we as an organization have with other groups working in the same movement, but the relationships we have with each other within Faunalytics, with our stakeholders, with our volunteers, and with the general public. Therefore, we work hard to maintain a positive, supportive, and cohesive culture, even while working remotely from several different countries.
Our Values
We pursue our vision with open hearts, and using our carefully considered organizational values as a guide.
Stay True To The Data: Quality research has the power to magnify the positive impact of the animal protection movement. We conduct our work with integrity, objectivity, and transparency.
Nurture Compassion: Compassion is the heart of animal advocacy. By embodying empathy, fostering equity, diversity, and inclusivity, and showing respect – to animals, the planet, one another, and to ourselves – we can change the world for the better.
Collaborate For Shared Success: We are in this movement together. We support and elevate our fellow animal advocates and teammates, because we are even greater than the sum of our parts.
Cultivate Curiosity: We encourage inquiry, learning, and openness. We explore and embrace new possibilities for the best ways to help advocates and animals.

Note: Vacation and stipend amounts are prorated for employees working fewer than 40 hours per week. Staff hired after January 1 will receive a prorated amount based on the number of months remaining in the year.
Compensation
We believe fair, transparent pay is part of how we live our values. Our Compensation Philosophy guides how we set salaries so that pay decisions are consistent, equitable, and free from bias.
Our Goals
How We Set Salaries
Rather than negotiating salaries individually, we use a transparent formula to calculate pay for every role. This approach is designed to reduce the wage gaps that can result when some candidates negotiate and others don’t — a dynamic that disproportionately affects women and people of color.
The salary for full-time staff is calculated as follows:
Base Rate + CoL Adjustment + Title Adjustment + Years Adjustment
The wage for part-time staff is adjusted in accordance with hours worked.
Equity Checks
Once a salary is calculated, we check it against a few additional safeguards:
Livable wage — every salary is checked against recognized living wage standards for the employee’s location
Market benchmarks — we compare pay to similar roles at similar organizations within animal advocacy, and adjust as needed so no salary falls more than 10% below the market average.
Pay ratio — we cap the gap between our highest- and lowest-paid employees at 3:1, so leadership compensation never grows out of proportion to the rest of the team
Keeping It Sustainable
Our compensation philosophy is reviewed regularly to make sure it continues to meet these goals, and it’s always applied in a way that protects the financial health of the organization.
