We are seeking an experienced, integrated marketer to help us build awareness and accelerate our growth across MENA. As our resident expert on the market, you will use your skills across social media, influencer marketing, PR, advertising, and strategic partnerships to drive awareness, build a loved brand, and bring new users to Duolingo.

Reporting to the Regional Marketing Director, you will partner closely with Global Marketing, Business Development and Product teams in Pittsburgh, New York, London, and Country Marketing Managers around the world to uncover opportunities, shape localized positioning, and develop creative campaigns and partnership initiatives that resonate deeply with the Arab consumer, leading us to increased app adoption and brand love.
We want an integrated marketing leader with deep consumer understanding and proven experience driving buzz, growth, and earned media across Social, partnerships, PR, and acquisition. The ideal candidate blends creativity with commercial rigor — someone who can build culturally resonant campaigns, unlock strategic partnerships, and deliver measurable impact with an entrepreneurial mindset.
