🏢 About Mozilla

Mozilla is the non-profit-backed technology company behind Firefox, focused on making the internet better for people over profit. With a mission-driven approach and a commitment to open-source software, it's an ideal place for those who want to work on products that prioritize privacy and user empowerment.

This role is critical to driving enterprise adoption of a privacy-focused browser, making a tangible impact on how businesses manage their browsing infrastructure.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve a morning call with a prospective enterprise customer in Germany to discuss their browser management needs, followed by an afternoon session designing a proof-of-concept deployment. You'll also collaborate with the sales team on strategy and provide feedback to product teams on customer requirements.

  • Fluent in German and English, with experience working with enterprise customers in Germany, Austria, or Switzerland.
  • Proven ability to lead technical evaluations, proof-of-concepts, and deployment projects in large, complex organizations.
  • Strong understanding of enterprise security requirements, including compliance, certificate management, and network configurations.
