Responsibilities

As the Policy Communications Lead for Europe, you will:

• Sit in the Comms, Marketing & Policy organization, reporting to the Head of Public Policy, Europe.
• Focus on Europe as your key region, but be ready to apply your skills to emerging key markets for Firefox on other continents.
• Translate policy strategy into public narrative that advances the products we build and the changes they are advocating for on the web.
• Own and drive Mozilla’s proactive media narrative on privacy, security, AI, open-source, competition, and emerging regulatory issues.
• Place and amplify thought leadership pieces that put Mozilla’s policy positions in front of the right audiences.
• Serve as a strategic partner and trusted advisor to communications colleagues and senior Mozilla leaders.
• Work cross-functionally with marketing, legal, product, and engineering teams to shape narratives.
• Build and nurture relationships with key journalists, policymakers, industry, thought leaders, advocacy organizations, and influencers.
• Craft and edit a wide range of materials-press releases, blog posts, policy statements, op-eds, speeches, regulatory submissions, and executive briefing documents.
• Prepare Mozilla spokespeople for high-stakes media, public, and policy engagements.
• Track and respond to fast-moving external developments, helping Mozilla seize moments to lead important conversations and manage risks.
• Help shape Mozilla’s public policy positioning on critical product initiatives, supporting launches, campaigns, and issue-based advocacy.
• Work closely with the wider communications team and external agency partners to ensure clarity, alignment, and operational rigor across channels.
• Serve as a point of escalation and counsel in high-risk, complex, or crisis policy scenarios.

Requirements

• 5-10 years of experience in policy communications, media relations, or related roles, ideally in technology, advocacy, or policy-driven environments.
• Exceptional writing and editing skills-with the ability to distill complexity into clarity, urgency, and actionable narrative.
• Deep knowledge of technology policy issues such as privacy, data, AI, competition, digital rights, open source, and internet regulation.
• A track record of building strong relationships with journalists, policymakers, and policy-focused organizations globally.
• Experience advising and supporting senior executives on high-profile, high-stakes communications and issues management.
• Strategic instincts, operational rigor, and comfort with ambiguity and rapid change.
• Confidence operating in a global, remote, and mission-driven organization.
• Experience supporting product communications and collaborating with engineering/technical teams.
• Ability to balance strategic vision with hands-on execution-no job is too big or too small.
• Passion for Mozilla’s mission: making the internet safer, more open, and more human.

Nice to Have

• Experience in both in-house and agency settings.
• Additional languages beyond English, particularly French and German.
• Prior experience in open-source, civil society, or non-profit tech environments.

We Offer

• Opportunity to work with a mission-driven, non-profit-backed technology company.
