Head of Global and Strategic Intelligence Job at Mozilla

Job Description

Mozilla Foundation is a non-profit building a better technology future — powered by people, open by design, fueled by imagination. 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.

Job Responsibility

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
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 contexts, not just U.S. and European ecosystems, with particular attention to where the most relevant work in tech is happening outside mainstream visibility
Lead Mozilla Foundation’s preparation for and presence at major international convenings, including UNGA, flagship AI Summits, and multilateral institutional engagements, with sharp positioning, leadership readiness, and documented intelligence and positioning outcomes
Ensure Mozilla Foundation leaves key moments having shifted a narrative, converted a key relationship, or surfaced intelligence that would not be visible from outside the room
Build and maintain the knowledge management systems that ensure relevant field relationships, intelligence, and strategic context accumulate as organizational knowledge across the Foundation and pan-Mozilla entities, rather than disappearing into meeting notes

Requirements

8+ years working at the intersection of technology and power, in policy, governance, geopolitical analysis, or institutional strategy, with a demonstrated ability to read fast-moving landscapes and turn them into actionable intelligence
Deep command of emerging and frontier technology governance debates, including AI, platform regulation, data sovereignty, digital infrastructure, and government industrial and development policy, and a clear-eyed understanding of who holds power in these spaces and why
Strong existing networks in at least one major policy corridor (Brussels, Geneva, London) and genuine reach into global majority contexts, including Sub-Saharan Africa, the Gulf, East Asia, and Latin America
Fluency in institutional dynamics: knows how decisions actually get made inside governments, multilaterals, foundations, and technology organizations, and can navigate accordingly
Experience operating as a trusted advisor to senior leadership before high-stakes engagements
has been in the room and knows what preparation actually requires
Sharp written communication under pressure
produces briefings that are clear, opinionated, and useful
Experience designing or building intelligence systems that integrate multiple data sources, working across technical platforms — including Salesforce and dashboard or network mapping tools
a technical or developer background is a genuine advantage
Operates independently at a senior level and makes sound calls with incomplete information
Builds trust quickly across programs, geographies, and seniority levels
Thinks in systems and power structures, identifying what matters before it becomes obvious
Brings deep command of global technology governance, philanthropic, and geopolitical ecosystems
Has a genuine commitment to people-first technology and Mozilla's mission

Nice to have

Experience building intelligence practices, briefing systems, or knowledge infrastructure that helped an organization compound insight over time
Fluency working across both policy and communications contexts, especially where intelligence needed to be translated into externally resonant positioning
A technical, developer, or platform-oriented background that strengthens your ability to partner on dashboards, network mapping, or CRM-based intelligence systems
Experience supporting senior leaders through major global convenings or multilateral engagements where preparation, positioning, and follow-through materially shaped outcomes
