  • Develop compelling, data‑driven business cases that quantify impact, align stakeholders, and secure resources for execution
  • Lead negotiations and structure balanced value exchanges; partner with Legal on term sheets and contracts to move efficiently while protecting Duolingo’s interests
  • Establish clear success metrics and reporting; monitor performance post‑launch, troubleshoot issues, and iterate to maximize ROI
  • Work closely with Product/Design/Engineering to influence product integrations vital to get strategic partnerships off the ground
  • Collaborate with global and local Marketing teams to amplify partnership launches through buzz-worthy activations

✅ You have...

  • Business development experience, having successfully developed partnerships to drive growth or monetization, in the digital consumer tech (B2C) space
  • Ambitious spirit with a track record of achieving great results by building long-lasting external relationships, collaborating effectively with multiple internal teams to drive ideas to execution, and taking a test and scale approach
  • Experience in conceiving, developing, and implementing partnerships throughout their full cycles, from deal sourcing, to building business cases, negotiating agreements, driving and tracking results
  • Work experience in consulting or investment banking
  • Critical thinking and structured thought process, with skills to build and communicate compelling, data-driven narratives
  • Ability to travel internationally frequently, specifically to Pittsburgh (HQ) and New York

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.
