We make pioneering brands like Firefox, the privacy-minded web browser, and Pocket, a service for keeping up with the best content online. Now, with more than 225 million people around the world using our products each month, we’re shaping the next 25 years of technology and helping to reclaim an internet built for people, not companies. Our work focuses on diverse areas including AI, social media, security and more. And we’re doing this while never losing our focus on our core mission – to make the internet better for people.

The Mozilla Corporation is wholly owned by the non-profit 501(c) Mozilla Foundation. This means we aren’t beholden to any shareholders — only to our mission. Along with thousands of volunteer contributors and collaborators all over the world, Mozillians design, build and distribute open-source software that enables people to enjoy the internet on their terms.

You will be responsible to own recommendations and solutions for ‘big ideas’ that represent significant value for users, partners, and Mozilla. You are adept at sizing opportunities with proven analytical rigor and modeling. You'll present compelling executive-ready recommendations supported by strategic, operational, and analytical evidence inclusive of cross-organizational input. The position requires someone who is a self-starter and approaches problems in a structured way but is comfortable with ambiguity. This role will report to the Senior Manager of Business Development.

  • Partner management: Quickly build trust and cultivate strategic relationships with potential partners; develop and deliver polished pitch materials that clearly articulate the value of working with Mozilla.
  • Deal execution: Lead sophisticated negotiations to land partner agreements, or transition to other team members as needed.
  • Market intelligence: Gather and analyze market and partner insights to educate internal teams and influence product roadmaps.
  • Strategy: Lead overall growth plan for new partnerships, and be a key contributor to special projects.

What you’ll bring:

  • 8+ years of experience in business development, partnerships, B2B sales or a related field; knowledge of the search, AI and/or digital advertising industries is a plus.
  • Opportunity sizing: Proven ability to efficiently size and progress opportunities with clarity and rigor.
  • Communication: Expert at framing and communicating complex proposals via concise storytelling (live as well as in documents / slides); experienced in pitching to and successfully persuading executive audiences.
  • Collaboration: Proven ability to proactively work across organizational boundaries (ideally with Product and Legal teams) to assess and prioritize new opportunities.
  • Negotiation expertise: Ability to steer complex negotiations and close high-impact contractual agreements.
  • Relationship management: Skill in establishing long-term partnerships that bring value for both parties.
  • Problem solving: Demonstrated strength in creative and hypothesis-led problem solving, underpinned by strong analytical ability.
  • Willingness to travel for partner meetings, team gatherings, and industry events (approx once per quarter).

What you’ll get:

  • Generous performance-based bonus plans to all regular employees - we share in our success as one team
  • Rich medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Generous retirement contributions with 100% immediate vesting (regardless of whether you contribute)
  • Quarterly all-company wellness days where everyone takes a pause together
  • Country specific holidays plus a day off for your birthday
  • One-time home office stipend
