Why Mozilla?

Mozilla Corporation is the non-profit-backed technology company that has shaped the internet for the better over the last 25 years. We make pioneering brands like Firefox, the privacy-minded web browser. Now, with more than 225 million people around the world using our products each month, we're shaping the next 25 years of technology and helping to reclaim an internet built for people, not companies. Our work focuses on diverse areas including AI, social media, security and more. And we're doing this while never losing our focus on our core mission to make the internet better for people.

The Mozilla Corporation is wholly owned by the non-profit 501(c) Mozilla Foundation. This means we aren't beholden to any shareholders—only to our mission. Along with thousands of volunteer contributors and collaborators all over the world, Mozillians design, build and distribute open-source software that enables people to enjoy the internet on their terms.

About this team and role:

The Data Science organization shapes Mozilla's most important business decisions through data. As a Senior Staff (P5) Data Scientist, you will be an analytical leader, partnering with senior executives to turn ambiguity into clear, data-driven recommendations that influence Mozilla's long-term strategy.

What you'll do:

Strategic Influence: Shape Mozilla's most important business decisions with rigorous, data-driven insights. Turn ambiguity into clear recommendations that influence executive thinking and long-term strategy.

What you'll bring:

Exceptional Communication: Outstanding verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical findings into clear, decision-ready recommendations while preserving analytical rigor. Proven success communicating effectively with both technical and executive audiences.
Influence Without Authority: A track record of driving alignment across cross-functional teams, earning trust through expertise, and leading through influence rather than formal authority. Experience across multiple industries, domains, or problem spaces is a plus.
Technical Mastery: Deep expertise in Python or R, SQL, statistics, and modern data science tooling. A strong foundation in analytical methods, paired with curiosity for emerging technologies and sound judgment about when to apply them.

What you’ll get:
