Overview

The nonprofit Mozilla Foundation is passionate about the Internet remaining a global public resource that is open and accessible to all. Our advocacy campaigns are focused on holding companies responsible for making safe, ethical products for global internet consumers. In 2018, we challenged Facebook’s third-party sharing, urged Venmo’s to change its ‘public by default’ app payment setting, and successfully removed the hackable Cloudpets toy from stores in the US. Our work generates responses from companies and garners top-tier media coverage in outlets such as the New York Times, Wired and NPR.

We’re seeking a US-based Campaigner who will execute and evolve our campaign work for the greatest impact and results. Beginning in 2019, we’ll begin tackling the issue of machine decision-making and algorithms, in addition to our work on data privacy, security and other internet health topics. Our work centers on standing up on behalf of consumers, forging effective partnerships with partner organizations and measuring concrete impact.

Issue experience isn’t as important as a passion for campaigning and a track record of wins, creativity and great writing. We’re looking for a colleague who will be excited to learn from our strong, existing team as well as inspire us as we get better at this work.
