About the role...

India is one of Duolingo's most important growth markets. We've operated there for a while, but believe it has much more potential than we've realized so far. We're looking for a seasoned leader to own Duolingo's trajectory in India and build our business in the market. In addition to being a strategic, resourceful, high-influence generalist, we want someone with excellent product sense, built through leading or partnering closely with product teams at global consumer tech companies. You'll set the strategy, build and rally our team on the ground, and serve as India's bridge to our global teams and leaders.

Your success will be measured on Duolingo's core metrics: user growth and monetization. Like most leaders at Duolingo, you'll work in a matrix. Team members report into their functions, and you'll lead them as one cross-functional team focused on India. Instead of managing a market P&L, you'll spend your time on things that move these core metrics.

This role is based in our Bangalore office and reports to the Asia Business Lead. We welcome candidates already in India as well as those willing to relocate.

🧠 You will...

  • Be responsible for India's strategy and priorities, and accountable for results
  • Build and lead an India-based cross-functional team, as well as the culture and operating cadence that hold it together
  • Be the voice of India: bridge what's actually true in market and what our global leadership and teams understand about it, and translate company priorities into work that makes sense locally
  • Work closely with product teams to shape India-specific product and course improvements
  • Influence and align global, cross-functional teams to support the needs of India

✅ You have...

  • 15+ years of experience in product, growth, or market leadership roles at global, high-growth technology companies
  • A track record across both the US and India, credible with leadership abroad and effective on the ground
  • Excellent product sense, particularly for how global products get adapted for markets like India
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to influence without authority, and an understanding of how different stakeholders think
  • Experience working effectively with colleagues across different time zones and locations
  • A bias toward acting on what you see rather than waiting for someone else to prioritize it
  • Analytical and strategic, but also scrappy and willing to roll up your sleeves
  • Passion for language education, for building Duolingo's business in India, and appetite for a multi-year bet

⭐ Exceptional candidates will have…

  • Built a country team from near zero, including its culture and its credibility inside the company
  • Adapted an international product for users in developing markets, especially India
  • Fluency in one or more Indian languages beyond English

The offered salary is dependent upon several factors, including work experience, skills, and internal peer comparisons. The posted range is subject to change in the future. For this role, base salary is supplemented by equity compensation. We encourage you to talk with your recruiter for more information related to compensation for this role!

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
