Remote Head of Global and Strategic Intelligence

Mozilla Foundation

We deliver people-first alternatives to today’s extractive systems. We build side by side with developers, innovators and advocates, united in the belief that a better technology future is not only possible — it’s ours to create.

Team

The Imagination & Strategic Growth (I&SG) team is an executive function within Mozilla Foundation that treats imagination as a core institutional capability for technology development. Working at the intersection of culture, strategy, and long-term growth, the team shapes how creative intelligence becomes new technology, partnerships, and sustained investment. I&SG stewards the Foundation's creative R&D program, Creative Futures, and the Fellowships program as flagship expressions of this work, while leading Mozilla Foundation’s strategic global engagements and co-designing new funds and collaborations.

Mozilla Foundation operates at the intersection of emerging technology governance, global policy, and the institutions and movements shaping what gets built and who benefits. The Head of Global and Strategic Intelligence is I&SG's dedicated intelligence position: synthesizing geopolitical and technology landscape signals, distilling incoming intelligence into organizational knowledge, while extending Mozilla's surface area in key corridors and contexts. This is a senior individual contributor role with a quiet profile and high autonomy, reporting directly to the VP.

Job responsibilities

Here are some projects you'll likely work on in your first 6 months:

• Build and stabilize Mozilla Foundation’s field intelligence function, including landscape briefs, stakeholder maps, signal memos, and CRM practices.
• Establish strong briefing and pre-briefing rhythms for the VP, ED, and senior leadership ahead of high-stakes engagements.
• Produce actionable intelligence on shifts across emerging and frontier technology governance landscapes, with particular attention to where those shifts should influence Mozilla Foundation strategy.
• Prepare Mozilla Foundation’s positioning, leadership readiness, and intelligence outcomes for major international convenings and multilateral moments.
• Strengthen the systems and practices that ensure field relationships, intelligence, and strategic context accumulate as institutional knowledge rather than remaining fragmented across teams or engagements.

As the Head of Global and Strategic Intelligence at Mozilla, you will focus on…

• Serve as the connective intelligence layer across Mozilla Foundation’s work, tracking what is happening in the field, identifying where signals in one workstream should inform decisions in another, and keeping cross-programmatic work coherent and forward-looking.
• Pre-brief the VP, ED, and, as relevant, senior leadership before high-stakes engagements, ensuring Mozilla Foundation enters critical rooms with full situational and contextual awareness.
• Maintain Mozilla Foundation’s field intelligence function, including landscape briefs, stakeholder maps, signal memos, and CRM, keeping ecosystem movements and institutional positioning visible, usable, and compounding across the team.
• Identify and shape where Mozilla Foundation’s work intersects with national and multilateral technology agendas, and pipeline the government and institutional partnerships that follow from those alignments.
• Partner with Mozilla Foundation’s Technology Platforms team to design and maintain the intelligence infrastructure, including CRM-based network mapping, signal tracking dashboards, and knowledge management systems, that makes intelligence actionable.

• Track and synthesize shifts across the emerging and frontier technology governance landscape, including AI, data agency, digital infrastructure, and government industrial and development policy, and translate them into actionable intelligence for internal and external use.
• Produce shareable intelligence artifacts, co-developed with Strategic Communications, that translate Mozilla Foundation’s field read into external positioning.
• Ensure Mozilla Foundation’s field intelligence reflects global…
