SPOTLIGHT
Mozilla
Senior Manager, Accounting & Finance
🌐 Remote · $165K-190K
Mozilla has run rolling layoffs since early 2025, cutting staff across both its nonprofit arm and Mozilla Corporation as it restructures around a narrower product focus. Hiring a Senior Manager of Accounting and Finance during an active cost-reduction period means whoever fills this role will have real visibility into the books.

Director Accounts Receivable
🌐 Remote - Nationwide · $92.4K-138.6K
