Job Description
About the role
Mozilla.org is a mission-driven organization dedicated to keeping the internet open, accessible, and secure. Through a diverse portfolio of products, subsidiaries, and investments, Mozilla.org advances internet technologies, privacy-first solutions, and responsible AI.
We’re looking for a Developer Relations & Content Strategist to help build relationships, tell stories, and grow communities around open-source AI using modern channels: short-form video, social platforms, and a new newsletter. This is a flexible, part-time or contract role suited for someone who understands how developers and technical communities actually engage - and who is fluent in today’s content and distribution tools.
You’ll work closely with senior Mozilla leaders to shape strategy, experiment in public, and help Mozilla show up authentically where technical conversations are already happening.
What you’ll do - in brief
Make Mozilla a highly-visible champion for open source AI in the developer/developer relations community, and shape a profile for Mozilla as an influencer in this space. This consultant will stand up a vertical video strategy, shape and implement a social strategy to engage developers, get reach for Mozilla’s open source AI activities, and help grow an engaged audience for a new newsletter, Owners Not Renters.
