Director of Product, Gaming (New Products)
WFA Digital Insight
Mozilla’s New Products team is an internal incubator that turns bold concepts into market‑ready offerings. The Director of Product, Gaming sits at the crossroads of open‑web values and the fast‑moving PC gaming ecosystem, meaning the role isn’t just about feature lists but about defining how Mozilla can compete where privacy, distribution and monetisation intersect. Candidates will own the entire product lifecycle—from market research and audience segmentation to business‑model design and go‑to‑market execution—while steering a small design‑engineering squad. Because Mozilla operates without shareholder pressure, the position rewards long‑term thinking and alignment with the mission of an internet that serves people, not corporations. Understanding both gaming culture and open‑source principles is essential before you hit apply.

How to Stand Out
- Showcase any gaming‑related projects or products you’ve launched, emphasizing how you balanced user experience with business goals.
- Highlight experience with remote team leadership; include tools and processes you used to keep distributed squads aligned.
- Prepare a short case study that walks through your approach to market research, product‑roadmap creation, and metric‑driven iteration.
- Demonstrate familiarity with open‑source ecosystems or privacy‑first design by referencing contributions or community engagement.
- During interviews, be ready to discuss how you would reconcile Mozilla’s mission with monetisation strategies in the gaming space.
- If salary isn’t disclosed, research typical compensation for senior product roles in Canada and be prepared to negotiate based on total rewards, not just base pay.
- Watch for red flags such as vague expectations around decision‑making authority or unclear reporting lines; ask clarifying questions early.
