Head of Editorial + Platforms, Mozilla Ecosystem

Mozilla

About The Position

Mozilla is seeking an Head of Editorial + Platforms, Mozilla Ecosystem, to lead and unify our global editorial vision and storytelling across platforms, from the Mozilla.org website to social channels and flagship publications. This person will act as a strategic partner to communications, product, and policy leads across Mozilla’s portfolio, helping to orchestrate a shared narrative about the work across the Mozilla portfolio and why it matters to creating a different future for AI and the internet. The Head of Editorial + Platforms will operate like the front page editor of a major global publication, curating, prioritizing, and elevating the most important stories from across Mozilla’s entire ecosystem, and orchestrating how they come to life across all of our channels. The surface area is not just a single site, but a network of platforms (Mozilla.org, social, video, newsletters, and beyond) that together form Mozilla’s public voice. This role sits at the intersection of journalism, media and technology: spotting what matters, connecting the dots across teams, and remixing ideas into high-impact storytelling. It requires strong editorial judgment, creative ambition, and the ability to translate complex ideas (like open-source AI or digital sovereignty) into compelling narratives that resonate with broad audiences. This is a highly strategic and hands-on role, working across Mozilla’s portfolio to orchestrate a cohesive story of what’s happening across the ecosystem and what it means for the future of technology.

Requirements

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
Passion for an open internet, trustworthy AI, and public-interest technology and alignment with Mozilla’s values of openness, privacy, and human-centered innovation

Nice To Haves

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

Responsibilities

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

Oversee the redesign and ongoing evolution of Mozilla.org as a dynamic storytelling platform
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
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
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, a key Mozilla need
Manage contributors, freelancers and agency partners, and work with teams across the portfolio. Matrix management and relationship-building are key.
