Community Manager (Open-Source AI)

About the Role

The successful candidate will work closely with senior Mozilla leaders and cross-functional collaborators to design and run a program of in-person events, online engagement, and partnership development. This is a fixed-term, project-based engagement that requires a deep understanding of the open-source AI ecosystem and the ability to identify and cultivate relationships with key stakeholders.

What You Will Do

• Own the builder pipeline: identifying and engaging with developers, tinkerers, and AI engineers who want to build on open AI infrastructure
• Help design and run a program of in-person events in cities where open AI builders are already gathering
• Work with ecosystem partners to co-produce events that feel native to the communities they're in
• Own the logistics, the run-of-show, and the follow-through that turns a one-time event into a recurring thing
• Identify the right culminating moments — venues and formats that give the community a chance to show what it's built
• Develop and pitch partnership and sponsorship opportunities that are genuine fits: technical collaborators, ecosystem investors, and organizations with shared values
• Structure partnerships that create real value for builders — access to tools, compute, datasets, mentorship, or distribution — not just funding
• Help Mozilla become the kind of partner that other organizations want to work with: trusted, well-networked, and worth the relationship
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to inform Mozilla’s broader efforts in the open-source AI space

What We Are Looking For

• 3+ years of experience in community management, events, or a related field
• Strong understanding of the open-source AI ecosystem and its key stakeholders
• Excellent communication and project management skills
• Ability to work independently and as part of a remote team
• Strong networking skills and ability to build relationships with ecosystem partners
• Experience with event planning and execution
• Familiarity with digital skills and tools relevant to the open-source AI community

Nice to Have

• Experience working with open-source AI technologies
• Familiarity with Mozilla's products and mission
• Knowledge of the current trends and developments in the AI landscape

Benefits and Perks

• Opportunity to work with a mission-driven organization
• Collaborative and dynamic work environment
• Professional development opportunities
• Flexible working hours and remote work arrangements
• Access to a global community of developers and AI experts
• Competitive compensation package

• To stand out as a candidate, highlight your experience in community building and event management in the tech space.
• Make sure to showcase your understanding of the open-source AI ecosystem and its key stakeholders.
• Prepare to discuss your approach to partnership development and how you would structure partnerships that create real value for builders.
• Be ready to provide examples of your excellent communication and project management skills.
• Research Mozilla's products and mission to demonstrate your passion for the organization's goals.
• Consider creating a portfolio that showcases your community management and event planning skills.
