Program Manager, AI 360

The Mozilla Foundation is a nonprofit public benefit organization. Our mission is to ensure that the Internet is a global public resource, open and accessible to all. Join us and become part of our mission to promote openness, innovation, and opportunity online!

Twenty years ago, this meant building a browser and protecting the open web. Today, it also includes making sure AI and data driven technology is more trustworthy. In order to focus on places where Mozilla can impact the next era of our work, we are increasingly focusing on trustworthy AI. For us, this means especially two things: human agency is a core part of how AI is built and coordinated, and corporate accountability is real and implemented.

Mozilla’s Office of the President and Executive Director have two functions: pointing the Foundation’s movement-building programs at the challenge of crafting trustworthy AI by leading all aspects of the design, growth and impact of Mozilla's philanthropy and advocacy programs, as well as DEIB and gift planning; and on expanding the Mozilla portfolio with an intentional effort to tee Mozilla up to have more impact over the next 25 years.

We are seeking a new Program Manager to join the Pan Mozilla team working on the AI 360 workstream. In this role, you will develop effective project and program management systems for AI 360, a crosscutting program that acts as the connective tissue among all the AI activities happening across Mozilla Foundation, Mozilla Corporation, Mozilla Ventures and Mozilla AI. AI 360 aims to also explain this set of activities to the world, make links between them and measure their collective impact and progress over time. As part of this mandate, you will help lead events and programs intended to engage leaders in the open source and Trustworthy AI community including startups, non profit labs, civil society, academia and tech partners. 

Reporting to the Chief of Staff in Mozilla’s Office of the President, you will work closely with other program managers leading Pan Mozilla workstreams. Specifically, you will provide strategic support to the Senior Advisor to the President and Lead of AI 360 in running the AI360 workstream.
