Mozilla is seeking two talented idea shapers to lead projects that help people around the world to understand, participate and take control of their online lives.

As a part of Mozilla's new Drumbeat initiative, this position is part idea hunter, part producer and part collaboration coach -- finding, shaping and leading projects that use technology to make the web better and more free.

The right candidate brings a rare mix of skills: the ability to spot a good free web idea and to turn it into a magnetic, high impact project that people want to participate in. This is a job for someone who can see the big picture *and* figure out all the details.

The Organization:

Mozilla is a global community of people creating a better, more free Internet.

Mozilla produces well known software like Firefox and Thunderbird. It is also launching a new global initiative called Drumbeat to support people using technology to bring understanding, participation and individual empowerment to online life. While global in scope, Drumbeat will focus heavily on Europe, Brasil, India and the Middle East, especially in year one.

Mozilla is like no other work environment -- global, collaborative, fluid. It's a place to challenge yourself, and have fun in the process.

The Job:

What are you doing right now?

You might working as a film or web producer, leading projects for a creative, global non-profit or as a product manager in a community-driven tech company. You could be anywhere, really.

Now you are ready to take that learning to another level.

Team and Location:

The Drumbeat Free Web Project Producer(s) will work closely with the Mozilla Foundation executive director and others in the Drumbeat team.

We are hiring for one person in Paris, France and another in Mountain View, California. We may consider Toronto as an alternate North American location for an exceptional candidate.

Compensation:

Highly competitive salary and benefits commensurate with experience.

Deadline and hiring process:

If you're interested, please send a short email, resume and links to your work (hints on style) to mark - at - mozillafoundation - dot - org.

This is an open ended hiring process -- we'll keep looking until we find the right people. However, we will start interviewing by the third week in January. So, get in touch ASAP if you are serious and interested.
