Role & responsibilitiesSpeak'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- 8+ 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
