Our app is now downloaded more than 75M times a year, and our private search engine packaged with it has become the #2 search engine on mobile in over 21 countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, and the Netherlands. Oh, and we’ve been profitable since 2014 with revenue currently exceeding $100 million a year! Now, we’re rolling out a suite of new privacy solutions, including Email Protection, App Tracking Protection and our first-ever Desktop Apps for Mac and Windows.

You’ll apply your creativity and leadership skills to manage the development and production of DuckDuckGo ads across our multi-channel portfolio, including TV, online video, radio, billboard, and more.
Partnering closely with internal and external creatives, you’ll distill campaign ideas into ads that speak to specific audiences and serve as the single point of contact for production companies, directors, business affairs consultants, and contractors.
