Head of Editorial + Platforms, Mozilla Ecosystem

Core Responsibilities

Editorial Vision & Platform Leadership

• Define and lead Mozilla’s global editorial strategy across Mozilla.org and associated digital channels
• Co-create content frameworks with communications teams across the Foundation and Mozilla’s subsidiaries to ensure alignment and shared narrative development
• Establish Mozilla.org as the canonical “front page” for Mozilla — curating, commissioning, and publishing content from across the organization and beyond
• Oversee the redesign and ongoing evolution of Mozilla.org as a dynamic storytelling platform

Pan-Mozilla Storytelling

• Work across the entire Mozilla portfolio to synthesize inputs from across the portfolio and align content that advances our key narratives
• Identify and elevate stories that reflect Mozilla’s ecosystem-wide impact
• Ensure consistency and coherence of narrative across a diverse portfolio

Content Strategy & Curation

• Curate, remix, and deploy content across formats: articles, essays, op-eds, video, social, newsletters, and experimental media, making Mozilla’s external presence greater than the sum of its parts
• Act as connective tissue across decentralized social leads in the Mozilla family, collaborating to develop a cohesive strategy for Mozilla’s social platforms, with a focus on reach, engagement, and relevance
• Build and manage an editorial calendar aligned with key moments (e.g., reports, launches, global events)
• Launch and grow new content channels and verticals focused on areas like AI, open source, and digital sovereignty
• Manage the annual State of Mozilla report, working across the portfolio to develop a dynamic and agenda-setting product

Narrative Leadership

• Shape and amplify Mozilla’s voice on major issues including open-source AI, trust, and the future of the internet
• Partner with communications and policy teams to develop and curate conversation-shaping materials (op-eds, speeches, essays, campaigns)
• Ensure Mozilla shows up authentically in the channels frequented by our key audiences (developers, policymakers, media, public audiences)
• Translate complex technical and policy topics into clear, compelling narratives for broad audiences

This person will manage contributors, freelancers and agency partners, and work with teams across the portfolio. Matrix management and relationship-building are key.

What We’re Looking For

• Exceptional editorial judgment and taste, able to act as a “front page editor,” curating what matters most and making sharp calls in a fast-paced environment
• Proven ability to operate as a curator/conductor across platforms, blending ideas, formats, and voices into cohesive, high-impact storytelling
• Strong cross-organizational leadership, including diplomatic leadership—able to lead through influence rather than authority in a complex, matrixed environment
• Service-oriented mindset, viewing Mozilla.org not just as a platform to own, but as a shared asset stewarded in service of teams across Mozilla
• Deep understanding of modern content ecosystems (social, video, newsletters, web) and what drives reach, relevance, and cultural impact
• Strategic storyteller with the ability to translate complex technology and policy topics into narratives that shape public conversation

Bonus: Experience building or evolving high-visibility editorial platforms or brands, especially in technology, policy, or mission-driven organizations

Compensation: The Target Annual Base Salary and Pay Range for this role is between $139,000-$175,000.
