Head of US Growth
Speak job in San Francisco, CA
About us
Our mission is to reinvent the way people learn, starting with language.
Learning a language can change a life by opening doors to new cultures, careers, and communities. Two billion people around the world are actively trying to learn a language, but the best way to learn (one-on-one tutoring) is hard to access at scale and hasn't been meaningfully improved in decades. Speak is building a human-level, AI-powered tutor in your pocket: a conversation-first experience that lets learners actually speak, get instant feedback, and progress through carefully designed lessons. The result is a complete path from beginner to confident speaker across multiple languages.
Speak first launched in South Korea in 2019, where Speak has now become the number one language learning app, and we now serve learners across many markets and 15+ languages. Speak is one of the world's leading AI companies, with over $150m raised in venture investment from OpenAI, Accel, Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures, and more, with a distributed team across San Francisco, Seoul, Tokyo, Taipei, and Ljubljana.

Communicate market-specific product needs, working closely with product/engineering to deliver on them
Build strong relationships with cross-functional global teams
Establish policies that promote company culture and vision locally
Coach, mentor, and develop team members to achieve business objectives and ensure team motivation
What we're looking for
Generalist marketer with strong enough technical skills to think about campaigns, channels, and priorities quantitatively
At least 7-10 years of experience in tech startups in a growth or marketing role, with a focus on growth in the US
Proficient in analytics and using insights to inform decision-making, especially in the context of marketing and attribution
Spent substantial time in target market, developing an understanding of local culture and needs, though not a hard requirement to be located there currently
Collaborative mindset and can partner effectively with other teams across markets and disciplines
Strong leadership qualities with the ability to build high-performance teams
Passionate about the problem and mission we're trying to solve

Why work at Speak
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.

About the role
Our team is growing and we're looking for a founding IT Operations Manager to join Speak. Our HQ is in SF, but we're globally distributed with offices in Korea, Japan, and Taiwan.

Who you are
Initiative and Resourcefulness. When you see an issue, you jump in and fix it. When you don't know where to start, you lean on your intuition and judgment and just start somewhere. You work independently to achieve your goals and pull in other members of the team when necessary. You are resourceful in finding answers and solutions on your own whenever possible because that is how you learn and grow.
Continuous improvement: You're always looking for ways to make things run smoother, faster, and with fewer manual steps. If something feels repetitive or inefficient, you don't just accept it - you look for a way to automate or improve it. You view every recurring ticket or process as a chance to level up how the team operates, and you take pride in building systems that scale.
Customer Service: You approach every interaction with empathy, reliability, and a deep desire to help. You understand that for many people, tech issues are frustrating and disruptive, and your reliability and clear communication turns those moments into positive experiences. You don't just fix the problem; you make the person feel supported throughout the process.

Auto-ApplyLead Learning Designer - Spanish Curriculum for English Speakers
Speak job in San Francisco, CA
About us
Our mission is to reinvent the way people learn, starting with language.
Learning a language can change a life by opening doors to new cultures, careers, and communities. Two billion people around the world are actively trying to learn a language, but the best way to learn (one-on-one tutoring) is hard to access at scale and hasn't been meaningfully improved in decades. Speak is building a human-level, AI-powered tutor in your pocket: a conversation-first experience that lets learners actually speak, get instant feedback, and progress through carefully designed lessons. The result is a complete path from beginner to confident speaker across multiple languages.
Speak first launched in South Korea in 2019, where Speak has now become the number one language learning app, and we now serve learners across many markets and 15+ languages. Speak is one of the world's leading AI companies, with over $150m raised in venture investment from OpenAI, Accel, Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures, and more, with a distributed team across San Francisco, Seoul, Tokyo, Taipei, and Ljubljana.
About This Role
We're looking for a Lead Learning Designer to strengthen and elevate one of Speak's largest markets: Spanish. You'll bring firepower to the team to enable us to move faster, try new things, and deliver best-in-class Spanish learning experiences at scale.
In this role, you will collaborate closely with your Learning Design team members, Product, Engineering, Analytics, Business Operations, and Marketing to help shape the future of our Spanish program. You will be expected to lead high priority Spanish curriculum projects with minimal guidance.
If you're a Spanish pedagogy expert with a solid track record at an ed tech company who can execute end-to-end independently and thrives in creative, cross-functional work, we'd love to meet you.
What You'll Be Doing
Own the Spanish curriculum and high-priority content projects end-to-end-delivering high-quality lessons and experiences on time through clear planning, proactive communication, and strong execution.
Lead cross-functional projects with EPD and Marketing as the Spanish content DRI; bring holistic content perspectives, operational rigor, and creativity to test new learning experiences.
Bring strong judgment to complex cross-language initiatives-understanding varying implications between languages, identifying risks early, and proactively asking the right questions to keep projects on track.
Create curriculum and prototype content for A/B tests to drive higher user engagement, conversion, and efficacy.
Partner with Learning & Curriculum, EPD, Marketing, Analytics, and Biz Ops to shape a cohesive, hypothesis-driven Spanish content strategy that drives measurable learner outcomes.
Work with AI: consistently experiment with AI tools, prototype new workflows, and partner with internal AI teams to improve AI-assisted content generation-driving major efficiency and quality gains across Spanish content.
Mentor and coach junior team members and contractors.
What We're Looking For
Native-level proficiency in English
4+ years of Spanish curriculum design at an ed tech company
Deep expertise in Spanish pedagogy and spoken fluency development
Exceptional user empathy and strong creative instincts - able to craft content that balances engagement, pedagogy, and what resonates with learners
Strong content analytics intuition: able to identify which engagement and learning metrics matter and translate insights into curriculum improvements
Strong writing, editing, and content creation skills, with the ability to ship high-quality lessons independently and make sound decisions with minimal oversight
Strong technical fluency with modern tools and ability to ramp quickly on new systems
Operationally strong: excellent project management, ability to juggle multiple work streams, and comfort working in fast-paced environments
Track record of collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams (e.g., Product, Engineering, Business Operations/Analytics, Marketing)
Creative and resourceful problem solver: enjoys prototyping new content approaches and thinking outside the box to solve learner problems even under constraints
Effective communicator and collaborator who builds trust across teams and with leadership
Bonus points for:
People management experience
Experience with LMS tools
Willingness to be based in San Francisco
Why work at Speak
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.
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.

About this role
We are seeking actors to appear in our app-based video lessons as language teachers (watch the sample video below under each role for reference). In these video lessons, you'll be seated behind a table facing a camera and deliver pre-written scripts explaining language concepts and phrases for learners.
