You'll work across product, growth, marketing, finance, and leadership to answer the ambiguous, high-stakes questions that shape our direction — where to invest, what's really driving the business, and how our consumer and enterprise businesses fit together. You'll bring a point of view (not just an answer), you'll be a trusted voice in board and business-review prep, and you'll make sure the whole company runs on numbers it can trust. This is a high-leverage role for someone who loves turning data into decisions and wants their fingerprints on the strategy of a fast-growing company. **What you'll be doing** - Partner with leaders across every function to frame ambiguous business questions and bring rigorous, opinionated analysis to the decisions that matter most. - Act as the bridge between Finance and Marketing: connecting budget pacing, spend efficiency, and channel-level outputs to revenue forecasts and broader planning conversations - Own the high-leverage company questions like unit economics, growth drivers, the B2C↔B2B picture, and where to place the next bet — and turn them into recommendations leadership acts on. - Drive board- and business-review-level analysis, synthesizing what's happening across the business into a clear, trustworthy story. - Own our core metric definitions as a single source of truth: define them, govern how they change, and drive org-wide adoption so the company stops debating which number is right. - Partner with Finance on the metrics behind planning — LTV, CAC, payback, and NRR — including more sophisticated, segmented LTV across our consumer and enterprise businesses. - Champion self-serve and modern, AI-assisted analytics so the organization can answer routine questions on its own.

We build consumer experiences used by millions, alongside B2B products that help organizations bring Speak to their teams. The design work is genuinely novel — inventing how someone talks to an AI tutor, what feedback feels like when you're learning out loud, how a roleplay session should land emotionally, and how you measure a true proficiency score. Our work shapes the future of how people learn with AI and we partner closely with Engineering, Learning Design, Product, and Analytics to do it. We stay close to our users and to how our experiences actually feel by prototyping with AI, testing conversation design and voice interaction, and getting comfortable with ambiguity. Our team takes craft seriously and has a lot of fun doing it — we developed our design principles in a multi-week offsite and iterate on them on a living board in our office. We take language classes together to ground our work in first principles. We stay close to our learners through team trips to Seoul, Tokyo, and Taipei, as well as lighter-touch interviews, surveys, betas, and AB tests. We believe in a critique and build culture with high trust, and also get a bit competitive over ping pong. We have something to prove: that learning products can be both deeply effective and beautifully crafted. If you want to do the most interesting design work of your career, let's talk. ### Role & responsibilities As a Product Designer focused on consumer experiences, you’ll design the core moments that help learners build real-world speaking confidence: finding the right path, practicing with AI, getting feedback, staying motivated, and building a lasting learning habit. Speak is inventing new interaction patterns for language learning — from AI tutoring and voice-first practice to roleplay, proficiency measurement, and personalized curriculum. You’ll work across ambiguous, high-impact product areas where interaction design, learning science, AI behavior, and emotional craft all matter. - Shape strategy and end-to-end product experiences for Speak’s consumer learning surfaces, bringing deep empathy for learners across cultures, motivations, and proficiency levels - Design across key growth moments — onboarding, activation, habit formation, retention, and subscription experiences — while protecting learner trust and long-term learning outcomes - Prototype quickly in AI tools, code, or interactive design tools to make new learning experiences feel real before they are fully built - Partner with Product, Data, Research, and Engineering to define opportunities, evaluate impact, and raise the quality bar for learner-facing product work - Use qualitative and quantitative signals to understand learner behavior, synthesize insights, and make strong product judgments - Invent novel interaction patterns for AI-powered learning that go beyond generic AI templates - Thrive in an ambiguous, fast-moving startup environment where the best answer often has to be discovered through making The exact product area you will work on will depend on team needs and your strengths, but likely areas include onboarding, activation, personalized learning, speaking practice, subscriptions, and learner motivation. This role is primarily anchored in our consumer experience, with opportunities to collaborate across adjacent surfaces as Speak grows. ### What we’re looking for - **6+ years of product design experience.** You have experience designing high-quality consumer products. - **You stay close to users.** You think about real people learning real languages in real contexts. You actively seek out the humans using the product, not just data about them and are able to synthesize valuable insights about them that inform strategy and direction. You seek ways to put your work in front of people, before you feel it’s perfect just to learn something valuable. - **Product thinking and structured judgment.** You frame the problem before solving it and always know why you’re doing something. You can distill what you’re working on into simple narrative framings and key beats without being lost in the details. - **AI-native workflow.** You already use AI creatively in your process to unlock speed and quality and are eager to continue learning how to apply it in novel ways. - **Taste and craft while moving fast.** You can spot a great idea in a sea of okay ones and understand what’s worth investing in building. You do this while moving quickly and know when to stay scrappy vs invest deeply in final polish. - **Communication and stakeholder collaboration.** You can own a room, build trust, and push back when something isn't right. You bring people into your work along the way knowing that multiple perspectives produce the strongest work. ### We also love to see - Experience in language learning, education, or another domain with deep cross-cultural product surface area - A bias toward prototypes to communicate ideas, test assumptions, and make your thinking tangible - A strong portfolio that demonstrates user-centric thinking, high craft, and innovative interaction patterns - Contributions to design systems that scale beyond a single team - A point of view about agentic workflows you'd be excited to share with our team and ability to tinker directly in code ### **Why work at Speak** 1. **Join a fantastic, tight-knit team at the right time:** we're growing very quickly, we've most recently raised our Series C from some of the top investors in the valley, and we've achieved product-market fit in our initial markets. You'd join at a magical time when a single person could significantly change the course of the company. 2. **Do your life's work with people you’ll love working with:** we care strongly about our craft and want eve

We build consumer and B2B experiences used by millions across 150+ markets — and a lot of the work is genuinely novel: inventing how someone talks to an AI tutor, what feedback feels like when you’re learning out loud, and how progress should be measured and celebrated. We stay close to learners through prototyping, interviews, betas, and experiments. We take craft seriously, iterate fast, and value a high-trust critique-and-build culture. We have something to prove — and we care about doing work that is both useful and genuinely excellent. ### About this role We’re hiring a seasoned Designer to improve how design and engineering work together, starting with a world-class, agent-first design system. By agent-first, we mean the system is structured so humans and AI agents can make the same good decisions: choosing the right components, applying the right patterns, using consistent names, and reviewing UI against shared rules. This is a systems thinker, high-craft, high-collaboration role. You’ll work closely with dedicated engineers who will be your collaborators in bringing this to life across our product surfaces. You’ll own the design quality, semantics, and product usefulness of the system; engineering will own the technical architecture and implementation, with close collaboration on component APIs, constraints, and adoption. **Scope** - You’ll work across iOS, Android, and web. - We’re mobile-first in the near term, with an expectation that components and patterns translate cleanly to web as those surfaces expand. - This role focuses on product surfaces (not the marketing site). ### What you’ll own - **Design ↔ Engineering workflow improvements.** Treat the seams between functions as a design problem: shared language, fewer re-made decisions, clearer handoffs, and faster shipping. - **Component craft and system coherence.** Set the quality bar for components and patterns, and pressure-test them by building and feeling the real thing (ideally prototyping with agents), not only speccing. - **The semantic layer that scales.** Component naming, usage rules, and decision guidance so the right choice is the easy choice for any designer, engineer, or agent. - **Adoption across the design org.** Create the standards and workflows that make using the design system the default, not something teams and agents have to seek out. - **Documentation + QA workflows.** Own usage documentation and quality check workflows that make quality as hands-off and reliable as possible, including AI-assisted checks for consistency, accessibility, and component usage. ### What you’ll build first In your first months, you’ll likely: - **Build and evolve the components we actually need** — prioritizing the highest-leverage gaps, pressure-testing them in real product work, and turning repeated decisions into durable patterns. - **Establish agent-first systems and workflows** — rules + semantics that help humans and agents use the system correctly without depending on tribal knowledge. Set them up to show up in the right moments to create efficiency and consistency across teams. - **Set the operating cadence with design and engineering** — a contribution/review rhythm that keeps the system coherent and adopted. ### What we’re looking for - **6+ years in product design,** with real depth in design systems built on tokens, component APIs, and a single source of truth in code (not only a Figma library). - **You’ve helped build a design system before.** You’ve contributed meaningfully to components/patterns/tokens, governance, adoption, and the messy realities of getting it used. - **A systems thinker.** You’d rather build the thing ten people use than ship one feature yourself. - **Taste you can defend.** You can pinpoint what’s off (spacing, motion, interaction states) and explain what’s right for Speak and why. - **Clear communication + cross-functional drive.** You can write the rule, not just draw the component, and work across teams to drive adoption. - **Autonomy and end-to-end ownership.** You thrive with little scaffolding and drive from problem → roadmap → shipped → adopted. - **Fluency with AI in your craft.** You’ve built repeatable ways of working with AI/agents and can explain what changed and why. - **Accessibility and scale mindset.** You think about how the system holds up as it grows across mobile and web. ### Nice to have - Comfort building or changing components in code (Swift/SwiftUI, Kotlin/Jetpack Compose, or web). - Shipped consumer-scale mobile products across many markets/locales. - Built a design system engineers actually used — and that outlasted your time on the team. - A point of view on where design-to-code and agent workflows are heading, and what’s still broken. - Experience in language learning, education, or another domain where cross-cultural nuance shapes the product. ### **Why work at Speak** 1. **Join a fantastic, tight-knit team at the right time:** we're growing very quickly, we've most recently raised our Series C from some of the top investors in the valley, and we've achieved product-market fit in our initial markets. You'd join at a magical time when a single person could significantly change the course of the company. 2. **Do your life's work with people you’ll love working with:** we care strongly about our craft and want every person at Speak to feel like they're growing every day. We believe in the idea that working with people you both enjoy and have respect for makes everything better. We hire thoughtfully and only work with people we admire deeply. 3. **Global in nature:** We're live in over 40 countries and launching in a number of new markets soon. We have dedicated offices in San Francisco, Ljubljana, Seoul, Tokyo, and Taipei, and y

We build consumer and B2B experiences used by millions across 150+ markets — and a lot of the work is genuinely novel: inventing how someone talks to an AI tutor, what feedback feels like when you’re learning out loud, and how progress should be measured and celebrated. We stay close to learners through prototyping, interviews, betas, and experiments. We take craft seriously, iterate fast, and value a high-trust critique-and-build culture. We have something to prove — and design awards to win. ### Role & responsibilities Speak’s enterprise product is still early, but the problem is big: companies need to know whether their teams are actually building language proficiency, where learners are getting stuck, and what interventions will help. You’ll help define the tools they use to launch programs, understand progress, spot risks, and prove that language learning is working. - Shape the strategy and design of our company-facing product — the admin, reporting, and account experiences the L&D managers who buy Speak rely on to launch, run, and prove their programs - Turn complex learner progress, proficiency, and risk signals into reporting that L&D leaders can trust, understand, and act on - Set the design foundation for a surface that's still early — closer to 0-to-1 than operating a mature product - Quickly set up prototypes in AI tools or code to communicate concepts, build alignment, and pressure-test real experiences - Collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, GTM, and Customer Success — translating what customers need to buy, launch, renew, and expand into product experiences that actually work - Feel comfortable and creative in a fast-paced, ambiguous startup environment What you’d actually work on depends on staffing — we’ll figure that out together once we’ve seen your work and understand where you’d have the most fun and impact. We’re excited about proving outcomes leaders trust, making complex workflows feel easy, and making Speak the most effective solution on the market. ### What we’re looking for - **6+ years of product design experience.** You have experience designing in both consumer and B2B contexts. - **B2B / enterprise SaaS craft.** You've designed admin consoles, dashboards, reporting, and complex multi-user workflows — not just consumer surfaces — and you're comfortable with roles, permissions, and account models. - **Systems and platform thinking.** You treat the enterprise surface as a platform, designing so the product carries work that's done by hand today, rather than one-off screens. - **You stay close to users.** You think about real people learning real languages in real contexts. You actively seek out the people using the product — not just the data about them — and turn what you learn into clear product direction. - **Product thinking and structured judgment.** You frame the problem before solving it and know why you’re doing something. You can turn messy problems into a clear story: what matters, what tradeoffs we’re making, and why. - **AI-native workflow.** You use AI as part of your design process to move faster, explore more directions, prototype, or sharpen your thinking. You’re excited to keep pushing what that can look like and bring the best parts to the rest of the team. - **Communication and stakeholder collaboration.** You can own a room, build trust, and push back when something isn't right. You bring people into your work along the way knowing that multiple perspectives produce the strongest work. ### We also love to see - Experience in language learning, education, or another domain with deep cross-cultural product surface area - Background in L&D, edtech, HR-tech, or enterprise analytics — you've lived in the buyer's world - Global or multilingual enterprise experience — our priority accounts are Korea-led with multilingual cohorts - A bias toward prototyping first, whether in code, AI tools, Figma, or whatever helps make the idea feel real - A strong portfolio that demonstrates user-centric thinking, high craft, and innovative interaction patterns - Contributions to design systems that scale beyond a single team - A point of view on how agentic workflows can improve the design process, and comfort tinkering in code or AI tools to make ideas tangible ### **Why work at Speak** 1. **Join a fantastic, tight-knit team at the right time:** we're growing very quickly, we've most recently raised our Series C from some of the top investors in the valley, and we've achieved product-market fit in our initial markets.
