VP, Mozilla Studio

• Join Mozilla Foundation as VP, Mozilla Studio, working fully remotely from the UK. • Build and run the newly created Mozilla Studio, which finds promising builders and ideas, backs the ones worth supporting and helps them become tools people and institutions actually use. • Take over an active portfolio, including current AI initiatives, and keep it moving while you set the Studio's direction. • Help public-interest technology bridge the gap between prototype and first user, where commercial and grant capital often fall short. • Report directly to the CEO and partner closely with the Operations Team on legal, compliance, financial and logistical obligations. • Aim for technology that lasts beyond Mozilla's funding by guiding teams to durable, sustainable structures.

• Bring a proven track record of building or leading a studio, incubator, lab, accelerator or early-stage founder programme at a senior level, working hands-on with the teams you backed. • Show a technical lens that engages engineers, open source and internet infrastructure and rigorously tests the claims teams make. • Bring a deep, active network of deployers, buyers, co-funders and builders across sectors and regions. • Know the different capital classes, including grants, recoverable grants and programme-related investments. • Show experience with at least one model beyond venture equity, such as cooperatives or public-benefit companies. • Make hard calls with confidence, including stopping bets and saying no. • Lead high-performing teams and draw in borrowed talent such as residents and advisors. • Work flexibly across time zones and occasionally outside standard hours.

• Bring experience of nonprofit governance and Board reporting. • Show experience of fundraising and building funder relationships. • Offer depth in one or more of Mozilla Foundation's focus areas. • Help teams get their technology adopted by public institutions or large organisations.

• Take the helm of the Studio's active portfolio, including current AI initiatives, while building trusted relationships with the CEO, Foundation teams and builders. • Assess each active bet rigorously to understand who it serves, what early signals it shows and what it needs to reach its next stage. • Set the Studio's direction and criteria for what it backs, extends, stops or declines, and decide how much support each team receives. • Hold every bet to a clear standard, with a named deployer or user and progress measured in adoption and impact. • Guide each team to a durable structure with a working sustaining model and at least one named funder beyond Mozilla. • Build and lead a high-performing Studio team and a bench of talent suited to each team's stage and timeline. • Set up clear handoffs with the Investment Committee and other Foundation teams. • Translate portfolio evidence into clear signals for leadership, the Board and funders, with candour about what went well and where the Studio fell short.

• Earn £195,534–£219,975 per year. • Work fully remotely from the UK, Canada, Germany or the US. • Enjoy 20 days of annual leave plus sick days and your birthday off. • Benefit from company holidays and an end-of-year shutdown. • Receive private medical insurance, extended sick leave and a global Employee Assistance Programme. • Get retirement plan contributions. • Use a wellness budget and a professional development budget. • Receive a top-up programme for pregnancy and parental leave.
