About the role

  • Mozilla Corporation is the non-profit-backed technology company that has shaped the internet for the better over the last 25 years.
  • We make groundbreaking brands like Firefox, the privacy-minded web browser.
  • Now, with more than 200 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.

Responsibilities

  • Own the analytical strategy for a product area: identifying the highest-leverage questions, defining the measurement framework, and ensuring data-driven decisions
  • Serve as a strategic partner to product and engineering leadership, translating ambiguous business problems into analytical approaches and clear, actionable recommendations
  • Design and oversee experiments and causal analyses, ensuring methodological rigor and that results drive real product decisions
  • Develop and maintain a deep understanding of user growth dynamics: how acquisition, activation, and retention interact to drive growth, and use that understanding to diagnose metric movements, explain trends to leadership, and anticipate emerging risks or opportunities
  • Contribute and own areas of the team's forecasting and growth modeling efforts, helping translate statistical models into actionable growth strategies
  • Drive alignment across data science, data engineering, and product on shared priorities like data quality, metric definitions, and instrumentation
  • Demonstrated ability to lead complex, cross-functional analytical initiatives from problem framing through stakeholder alignment to decision
  • Deep expertise in experimentation (A/B testing) and causal inference, with strong judgment about when each method applies and what conclusions they support
  • Mozilla exists to build the Internet as a public resource accessible to all because we believe that open and free is better than closed and controlled.
  • Join us to work on the Web as the platform and help create more opportunity and innovation for everyone online.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of experience in data science, analytics, or applied quantitative analysis, with a track record of shaping product strategy through data
  • Advanced proficiency in SQL and Python for analysis, modeling, and validation

Skills

  • Define north-star metrics and measurement strategies to set goals, evaluate progress, and make trade-offs
  • Mentor and elevate other data scientists through code review, methodology guidance, and establishing reusable analytical frameworks
  • Represent data science in cross-functional forums, making the case for what the data shows even when it challenges prevailing assumptions
