Our team

We're an international group of makers, builders and doers who still believe in the original promise of the internet — a place to find purpose and joy and freedom. The Creative Studio partners with marketing to test and learn our way to compelling, needle-moving campaigns, content and creative assets for our core brands: Mozilla, Firefox and Pocket. We're the stewards of these well-loved, well-established product brands — and all of them are on the precipice of big change.

Our Studio team has insight into all of the business strategies and initiatives at Mozilla and its different products. It’s a dynamic and exciting team that helps to shape public perception of issues like online privacy and responsible tech and make those topics relevant and accessible to our audiences.

You will work closely with our Head of Creative in Europe and the global Design Lead to refine, expand, systemize, and bring to life our brand expression across all touchpoints. Your design work will help establish and evolve a connected, compelling experience for our European audiences from getting their attention out in the world to bringing them into our brand and products. You will conceptualize, develop, and implement our brand identity, including work on a variety of guidelines and narratives across social, digital, print, blog, and web. You will co-own the near-term vision for our brand design systems to help scale our team's work and contribute to the healthy operations of the Studio Team. And of course, you'll design loads of consumer content and brainstorm creative ideas with the Studio team and the wider marketing team.
