How to Apply for Campaign Creative Lead, Firefox Marketing

at Mozilla

🏢 About Mozilla

Mozilla is a unique non-profit tech company dedicated to building an open, accessible internet for all, not just maximizing shareholder profits. Working at Mozilla means contributing to products like Firefox that prioritize user privacy and digital rights while competing with tech giants. This mission-driven culture attracts people who want their work to have positive societal impact beyond commercial success.

About This Role

As Campaign Creative Lead for Firefox Marketing, you'll spearhead global campaign development from concept to execution across key markets like North America, Germany, and Japan. This role is impactful because you'll shape how millions perceive Firefox—a privacy-focused alternative to dominant browsers—through creative that must both convert users and authentically represent Mozilla's values. You'll bridge internal teams, agencies, and regional markets to ensure cohesive, effective marketing.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with reviewing campaign performance data from key markets, then collaborating with agency partners on creative concepts via Figma. Afternoon could involve mentoring team members on adapting toolkits for regional markets, followed by cross-functional meetings with product teams to align on upcoming Firefox feature launches. You'd balance hands-on creative direction with strategic planning for global campaigns.

🎯 Who Mozilla Is Looking For

  • Has 10+ years leading creative in agencies or in-house, with a portfolio showing campaigns that drove measurable conversion (not just awareness)
  • Demonstrates experience adapting global campaigns for diverse markets like Japan, India, or Germany—not just North America
  • Can point to specific examples of using data/consumer insights to inform creative decisions, not just intuition
  • Shows proficiency with Figma and Adobe tools through practical examples, not just listed skills

4

Include examples of working with global teams across time zones—critical for this remote role covering multiple markets

5

Research Firefox's recent campaigns (like privacy-focused launches) and reference how your approach aligns
