Duolingo is seeking a Director of Growth Marketing Strategy to lead the company's global growth agenda across acquisition and reactivation. This role sits at the intersection of strategy, analytics, and execution, partnering across Growth, Performance Marketing, Product Marketing, Analytics, and international teams.
Key responsibilities include: shaping Duolingo's global growth strategy and making investment allocation decisions; developing and stewarding frameworks for sizing, measuring, and reviewing growth initiatives (including budget allocation, KPI methodology, and go/no-go criteria); partnering with country marketing managers to pressure-test growth proposals and align on goals and measurement before investment; building entry strategies for new markets and supporting launches; running forums where growth cases are pressure-tested and results are reviewed; managing and developing a small team as the function scales; synthesizing cross-market results into learnings and patterns; serving as a senior translator between data and marketing leadership; and mentoring the team toward sharper problem framing and more credible forecasts.
The ideal candidate brings 8+ years in strategic consulting, consumer strategy, growth marketing, or related functions, with demonstrated experience shaping growth strategy for consumer brands at scale. You should have a track record of driving measurable growth outcomes (not just executing projects), experience managing or developing people, deep analytical judgment (fluent in experimentation, KPI design, incrementality, and structured problem-solving), and proven ability to collaborate with and influence senior cross-functional and international partners. Exceptional candidates will have team management experience, background from a top-tier consulting firm, SQL proficiency, experience driving growth across multiple international markets, and passion for Duolingo's education mission.
