How to Apply for Lifecycle Marketing Operations Manager, Firefox Mobile
at Mozilla
🏢 About Mozilla
Mozilla is a mission-driven, non-profit-backed technology company that has championed a better internet for over 25 years. Unlike typical tech giants, Mozilla is accountable to its mission, not shareholders, and creates open-source products like Firefox that prioritize user privacy and empowerment. Working here means contributing to a more humane digital world while shaping the next era of AI and social media.
About This Role
This role is the operational backbone of Firefox Mobile's lifecycle marketing, ensuring that growth strategies are executed flawlessly across channels like App Store Optimization, push notifications, and in-app messaging. You'll directly impact user acquisition, engagement, and retention for one of the most widely used privacy-focused mobile browsers, translating high-level strategy into measurable, repeatable campaigns that drive real user value.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might start with checking campaign performance dashboards and reviewing analytics from yesterday's push or email sends. You'd then collaborate with the product team to align on upcoming feature launches, build and QA campaigns in your marketing automation platform, and perhaps run an A/B test on in-app messaging. Afternoons could involve cross-functional meetings with creative and data teams, refining segmentation strategies, and documenting processes to improve operational efficiency.
🚀 Application Tools
🎯 Who Mozilla Is Looking For
- You have deep hands-on experience with lifecycle marketing tools (e.g., Braze, Leanplum, MoEngage) and are comfortable building complex, multi-channel campaigns (push, email, in-app) with precise segmentation and personalization.
- You possess strong analytical skills, using SQL or similar tools to mine data, identify funnel drop-offs, and run A/B tests to optimize campaigns for KPIs like retention and conversion.
- You are highly organized and process-driven, with a track record of managing end-to-end campaign operations, including QA, scheduling, and cross-functional coordination with product, creative, and data teams.
- You are passionate about Mozilla's mission and understand the mobile landscape, especially the nuances of iOS and Android app stores, ASO best practices, and user privacy considerations.
📝 Tips for Applying to Mozilla
In your resume, quantify your operational wins: e.g., 'Increased push notification click-through rate by 25% through A/B testing and segmentation' or 'Managed 50+ monthly campaigns with 99% on-time delivery.'
Highlight your experience with specific lifecycle marketing platforms, especially if you've used Braze or similar tools; mention any certifications or advanced features you've mastered.

Research Mozilla's recent Firefox Mobile updates and marketing efforts (e.g., their focus on privacy and user choice) and subtly reflect that understanding in your application materials.
