Executive Assistant
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 working on the topic of trustworthy AI. For us, this means especially two things: human agency is a core part of how AI is built and integrated, and corporate accountability is real and enforced.
The Executive Assistant supports Mozilla Foundation’s Vice Presidents (VP, Global Advocacy and VP, Global Programs) as they navigate the dynamic needs of the organization. The core responsibility of this role is to anticipate needs, prioritize demands, and triage requests for the VPs and their respective teams. Uniquely sitting across two teams, the Executive Assistant will also play a crucial role and see opportunities for efficiency, collaboration, and shared learning between Global Programs and Global Advocacy.
As an Executive Assistant, you will be an expert in daily planning, prioritization, and prioritising the demands of both internal and external parties. The role requires good judgment, excellent communication skills, and balance the varied and often challenging needs of multiple collaborators.
