The Role
We are looking for a focused product manager to direct and manage a new product business at Mozilla. This includes strong product management and business leadership skills. We are launching new products aligned with our mission of building a better internet for a better world.
The successful candidate for this role should possess deep skills in the functions around building new internet businesses: a laser focus on users, product management, engineering management, marketing, business planning and general leadership skills. A strong product leader will drive clarity on the product and business itself, and rally the org in this direction, all while achieving predictable business results.
We pride ourselves on being a different kind of company, and this leader should both represent our values and carry the business forward.
