About Us
Mozilla Foundation is a nonprofit public benefit organization. Our mission is to ensure that the Internet is a global public resource, open and accessible to all. Join us and become part of our mission to promote openness, innovation, and opportunity online!
Position Summary
The Executive Assistant (EA) will play a critical role in enabling two senior leaders at Mozilla Foundation to operate at their highest level of impact. You’ll be responsible for managing complex calendars, coordinating meetings and travel, handling communications, and ensuring timely follow-through on key priorities and action items. By anticipating needs and removing friction, you will help our executives focus on what matters most.
As a strategic partner, the EA will also serve as a connective thread—identifying opportunities to streamline workflows, improve collaboration, and share insights across their portfolios. This role calls for exceptional judgment, discretion, and communication skills, as well as the ability to manage competing priorities and build strong relationships across teams and the organization.
We’re looking for someone who is proactive, highly organized, and excited by the opportunity to help shape how this role supports our leadership team. While this position will initially support two executives, as we refine and scale our leadership structure, executive pairings may shift over time. We’re committed to ensuring a thoughtful and supported transition should that occur.
