Jefry Makumbe

With over a decade of experience in content strategy and digital media, I bring a proven track record of curating impactful, audience-focused content across various platforms. At the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission, I led the launch of the ZEC Ballot Bulletin Channel on the WhatsApp platform. This first-of-its-kind voter education initiative expanded access to trustworthy electoral information.

This experience sharpened my ability to identify high-quality content and deliver it through emerging channels, skills directly aligned with Firefox’s mission to guide users toward meaningful web experiences.

In my current role as Communications and Content Development Officer at the Harare Institute of Technology, I have developed and executed strategic multimedia campaigns that increased both website traffic and social media engagement. Collaborating with cross-functional teams, I’ve produced podcasts, infographics, and video content that reflect a high editorial standard and a commitment to clarity and accessibility. These efforts mirror Mozilla’s emphasis on editorial integrity and cross-disciplinary collaboration.

Earlier in my career, I produced national television programmes that grew viewership by 20%, demonstrating my ability to shape content that resonates at scale. While I have not worked directly with machine learning teams, I’ve partnered with developers and designers to build digital tools and campaigns, and I adapt quickly to new technologies and workflows.

I’m excited by the opportunity to contribute to Mozilla’s editorial vision and help shape how millions discover content that informs, inspires, and respects their attention.
