We make pioneering brands like Firefox, the privacy-minded web browser. Now, with more than 225 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.

About This Team And Role
Search is the most essential functionality in any browser, and it’s evolving daily with new interaction paradigms, AI-powered answers, and agentic browsing.

• Partner with Business Development to support search partnerships and ensure product execution aligns with contractual and strategic commitments.
• Collaborate with Engineering, Research, and Design to prototype and ship innovative search experiences.
• Navigate complex trade-offs between user experience, privacy principles, technical constraints, and revenue outcomes in a rapidly shifting search landscape.
• Contribute to quarterly and annual planning, identifying risks, opportunities, and long-term strategic initiatives.

What You’ll Bring

• 5+ years of product management experience, including ownership of revenue-impacting and user-facing product areas.
• Experience working on search, discovery, AI/ML-powered products, or adjacent domains.
• Strong understanding of modern AI capabilities and their product implications.
• Proven experience leading experimentation programs and driving measurable business outcomes.
• Strong analytical skills and fluency with product analytics tools and SQL.
• Experience leading cross-functional teams and influencing without direct authority.
• Demonstrated ability to balance user needs, privacy considerations, and business objectives.
• Excellent communication skills and comfort engaging with senior stakeholders.

What You’ll Get

• Generous performance-based bonus plans to all eligible employees - we share in our success as one team
• Rich medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Generous retirement contributions with 100% immediate vesting (regardless of whether you contribute)
• Quarterly all-company wellness days where everyone takes a pause together
• Country specific holidays plus a day off for your birthday
• One-time home office stipend
