• Identify validated trends, memes, fandoms, and cultural moments where Duolingo can play a meaningful and unexpected role.

• Strong copywriting skills and a sharp eye for art direction, design and visual storytelling
• Strong taste, low ego, and the ability to make the work better through collaboration

• Expertise in short-form video, including concepting, directing and getting the work made
• A clear point of view on what great social creative looks like now and where it’s going next
• The ability to operate at both the strategic and hands-on level; you’re not too senior to make things
• The ability to work from or relocate to Pittsburgh, PA or New York, NY
• Experience giving direct, useful creative feedback that helps other creators improve their ideas and execution
• Experience turning cultural insights into ideas beyond social posts, such as experiential activations, earned-media stunts, OOH, products or partnerships

• A genuine obsession with Duolingo’s mission, product and characters
