About the role...

Join us to build Duolingo Ads, Duolingo’s direct ad business. Most learners use our free, ad‑supported app-so great ads are core to our mission. We’re hiring a Head of West Coast Sales to open and scale our West Coast region. You will set regional strategy, build and lead a high‑performing team, and own revenue outcomes across priority verticals and agency holding companies. As a player/coach, you’ll cultivate senior‑level relationships, shape pricing and packaging with leadership, and close high‑impact deals that both delight learners and drive revenue while leading a team of sellers. This is a high‑ownership, early‑stage opportunity to help define how ads show up for hundreds of millions of learners while building a repeatable, data‑driven go‑to‑market.

  You will...

* Own West Coast revenue targets and forecasting; build a healthy, predictable pipeline across named accounts and agency groups, and deliver against quarterly goals.

* Develop and execute the regional go‑to‑market strategy, including territory design, vertical focus, pricing/packaging inputs, and coverage plans as we scale.

* Hire, coach, and lead a small team of sellers over time; establish operating rhythms, deal reviews, and CRM hygiene standards that improve forecast accuracy and execution.

* Build and deepen senior relationships at brands and agencies; open new logos and expand strategic accounts with clear commercial narratives that map Duolingo’s unique strengths (design, IP, native formats) to client objectives.

* Lead complex deals end‑to‑end-from prospecting and positioning through negotiation, close, renewal, and expansion-partnering tightly with Account Management and Ad Ops for flawless delivery.

* Share actionable market feedback with sales and product leadership to inform pricing, packaging, measurement, and ad experiences while protecting the learner experience.

* Operate with speed and rigor in a startup‑like environment, building repeatable sales motions, outreach cadences, and team practices that scale from 0→1 and 1→N.

 

  You have...

* 8+ years of direct digital ad sales experience with a consistent track record of hunting, closing, and renewing in premium mobile or consumer app environments.

* Success selling video and native/custom formats and structuring innovative agreements with top‑tier advertisers and agencies.

* Proven ability to engage senior decision makers while rolling up your sleeves to build collateral, troubleshoot issues, and drive revenue personally.

* Strong understanding of ad tech and mobile app ecosystems, with skill using data to assess performance and inform pricing and packaging.

* Excellent communication and presentation skills, and comfort operating with ambiguity at high velocity.

 

⭐  Exceptional candidates will have...

* Established relationships across West Coast brand and agency decision makers.

* Experience introducing or scaling a new ads product from 0→1 within a publisher or platform environment.

* Experience shaping regional GTM, sales process, or coverage models beyond an individual book of business.

* Familiarity partnering with Account Management and Ad Ops on native/custom programs and live‑campaign storytelling to drive renewals.

* Vertical expertise in Entertainment, Gaming, Streaming, or Tech that accelerates early traction.
