Director of Strategic Finance & Investment Strategy
About the role
Why Mozilla?
Mozilla Corporation is the non-profit-backed technology company that has shaped the internet for the better over the last 25 years. We make pioneering brands like Firefox, the privacy-minded web browser. 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.
Mozilla Finance is the engine behind our mission. We balance strategic resource allocation with seamless day-to-day operations to fuel Mozilla’s growth. As we look to the future, our Strategic Finance & Corporate Development team ensures we are positioned to capitalize on industry shifts, manage our capital sustainably, and evaluate ecosystem opportunities that align with a better, more ethical internet for everyone.
