• Serve as a unifying force among decentralized social leads within the Mozilla family, collaborating to establish a cohesive strategy for Mozilla’s social platforms with an emphasis on reach, engagement, and relevance.

• Create and manage an editorial calendar that aligns with significant moments (e.g., reports, launches, global events).
