## Description

We're looking for a Senior Creative Director to set the creative vision for Duolingo's brand building and marketing efforts.

You will join a team that cares about educating users, experimenting with big ideas, making fact-based decisions, and finding innovative solutions to complex problems.

**Responsibilities:**

- Drive all creative work in the Marketing function, ensuring it consistently ladders up to the company strategy and moves key brand and business metrics.

- Lead, mentor, and grow a team of creatives; set a high bar for craft, narrative, and taste while creating space for diverse voices and experimentation.

- Turn great ideas into end-to-end campaign concepts; guide direction across channels (social, video, experiential, partnerships), from insight to execution.

- Partner with Brand Marketing to shape briefs, make strategic trade-offs, and deliver work that's part of culture and drives brand love and growth.

- Partner with Growth Marketing to build a performance marketing creative studio enabling our user acquisition efforts across the globe.

- Partner with our Country Marketing team to lead and evolve our global agency roster; ensure scopes, standards, and handoffs produce A+ creative worldwide.

- Oversee creative feedback and quality across all project stages; provide clear, timely decisions that keep momentum without sacrificing excellence.

- Inspire the organization with industry trends, creative references, and new platforms; codify what's 'on-brand' and how we measure brand success.

**Requirements:**

- 12+ years in brand/creative roles with significant time leading other creative leaders; proven success shipping integrated campaigns across a wide range of budgets at a high bar.

- Demonstrated ability to set vision, influence senior stakeholders, and connect creative decisions to strategy, KPIs, and ROI.

- A track record of turning insights into iconic, culture-driving ideas and guiding multi-disciplinary teams from concept to launch.

- Excellent communication and feedback skills; you simplify complex topics, make fast, sound calls, and bring others along.

- Experience managing agencies and external partners across markets, with a reputation for raising quality and speed.

- The ability to work from or relocate to New York City or London, UK.

**Exceptional candidates will have:**

- Experience working with IP-led brands.

- Global brand experience, including creative leadership across multiple regions and cultures.

- A portfolio demonstrating world-class craft and storytelling, work that drives buzz and earned media attention instead of relying on paid channels for distribution.
