Our Product Managers (PMs) have ownership over product optimizations and features, from independently run experiments to major product decisions. Backed by strong analytical skills and business acumen, and inspired by access to senior leadership and transparency into how they make product decisions, our PMs develop insights that lead to new product ideas and Duolingo’s next beloved feature. Join our life-changing mission to develop education for our half a billion (and growing!) learners around the world. About the role... Come and be a product lead within our Growth Pillar.

You’ll own product strategy and execution across a broad set of opportunities to improve our user retention, with an eye towards DAUs as our north star.
