Staff Program Manager, Trust & Safety

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 Mozilla Trust & Safety team helps Mozilla build and operate products that prioritize people’s safety, privacy, and agency.

• Apply data-driven frameworks to assess program effectiveness and identify areas for improvement, in alignment with broader company goals and business objectives.
• Stay informed about industry best practices and emergent risks associated with new technology products and contexts.

What you’ll bring: 

• 5+ years of experience in Trust & Safety operations or a related role.
• Familiarity with content moderation ecosystems, including policy implementation standards and scaled review systems.
• Experience using metrics, dashboards, or reporting to identify trends and improve outcomes.
• Ability to analyze and improve end-to-end Trust & Safety systems, including policies, review processes, and tooling.
• Strong understanding of online safety issues, such as data privacy, misinformation, and fraud. 
• Strong understanding of AI safety issues, such as fairness, accountability, and transparency. 
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.   
• Experience collaborating with diverse stakeholder groups.
• Experience working in a fast-paced and dynamic environment.
• Demonstrated ability to operate across a wide range of Trust & Safety projects, quickly adapting to new problem spaces, policy areas, and operational needs.

What you’ll get:

• Generous performance-based bonus plans to all eligible employees - we share in our success as one team
• Rich medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Generous retirement contributions with 100% immediate vesting (regardless of whether you contribute)
• Quarterly all-company wellness days where everyone takes a pause together
