How to Apply for Senior Product Manager, Mobile

at Mozilla

🏢 About Mozilla

Mozilla is a unique non-profit-backed technology company that has championed a healthier internet for over 25 years, with products like Firefox and Pocket used by millions. Working here means contributing to a mission-driven organization that prioritizes people over profit, and shaping the future of AI, social media, and security.

About This Role

This role focuses on driving the product strategy and execution for Firefox for iOS, with cross-mobile impact on Android. You'll be at the forefront of turning downloads into loyal users, using user insights to craft standout mobile experiences that align with Mozilla's mission of putting people first.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with a stand-up with your iOS squad to review progress, followed by analyzing user data and metrics to identify friction points. You might then meet with designers to prototype a new feature, and later conduct user interviews or review feedback from the open-source community. The day ends with preparing a roadmap update for stakeholders, all while collaborating remotely with a global team.
