Hi, we’re DuckDuckGo, the Internet privacy company for everyone who wants to take back their privacy now. For over a decade, we’ve been building our all-in-one product, developing new privacy technology, and working with policymakers to make online privacy simple and accessible for all.

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.

We’re looking for a Senior Creative Ad Producer to help shape our all-in-one privacy solution and join our mission to show the world that protecting your privacy online can be simple.

In this role, you will be a foundational member of an in-house ad creative team and help grow and shape the ad production discipline within the User Acquisition team. 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.

What You Will Bring to DuckDuckGo

• 7+ years of experience pioneering the development of ad campaigns and driving large-scale productions.
• Experience producing video content for TV and major digital video platforms (e.g., YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, etc.).
• Experience working with in-house legal and business development teams to negotiate favorable contract terms with external agencies, consultants, vendors, and third parties.
• Interpersonal skills to build and maintain relationships between internal and external stakeholders.
• A passion for hands-on, creative collaboration and experience in managing in-house ad creative development.
• Ability to lead and collaborate on high-impact and complex projects from proposal through postmortem.

You can seek additional leadership roles by being directly responsible for projects, taking ownership of areas of the company, developing and maintaining internal processes, or pursuing advisory roles.
• Work/Life Balance: Team members have the freedom and flexibility to organize their own work schedules. We want you to thrive both in and out of the office. We trust you to use good judgment and take the time off that you need to bring your best self to work.
