About the role

We're looking for a Program Manager (Contract) to operationalize how Product Marketing runs at Duolingo. You'll help build the company-wide product marketing calendar, the source of truth for every product launch, feature activation, and major campaign moment across our pillars, and build the systems that get features from product roadmaps to launch-ready marketing on schedule. You'll partner closely with Product Marketing Managers across Language Learning, Chess, Math, Growth, and Monetization, and coordinate with Brand, Creative, Product, Legal, and Analytics to keep campaigns on track and stakeholders aligned.

You will...

• Set up the company-wide product marketing calendar: the surface, structure, fields, and access model.
• Build and document the intake process: how PMMs and product teams submit launches, activations, and campaign moments to the calendar, what fields are required, and how items are reviewed.
• Manage day-to-day calendar operations: log incoming submissions, update entries, validate against product timelines, and flag gaps or conflicts to the relevant PMM.
• Produce weekly calendar reports for the Product Marketing team, including coverage, on-time submissions, and upcoming launches.
• Proactively flag risks and escalation paths; manage change with clear communication to stakeholders.
• Support PMMs by tracking cross-functional dependencies (Brand, Creative, Product, Legal) for their campaigns as needed.

You Have...

• 6-8 years experience as a program/project manager in marketing, media, or consumer tech, leading complex cross-functional programs end-to-end with clear business impact.
• Demonstrated experience building cross company processes, intake processes, or other operational systems from the ground up, and getting cross-functional teams to adopt them.
• Strong organization and documentation skills; calendars, trackers, briefs, and status updates that keep teams and stakeholders aligned.
