About us

Our mission is to reinvent the way people learn, starting with language. We begin by teaching the next billion people English, Spanish, and French.

English is the global language of business, culture, and communication, and over 1.5 billion people around the world are actively trying to learn right now. Others dream of communicating with the half-billion native Spanish speakers across the globe. The problem is that it's nearly impossible to learn to speak a language without constant access to a speaking partner. Grammar and vocab apps don't really help – you need to actually converse with someone.

Speak is on a journey to fix this. We're creating an AI-powered experience that replicates the flow of a conversation, without needing a human on the other end. The goal is to make it radically more accessible to be able to have conversations in a foreign language and eventually help hundreds of millions of people gain fluency who otherwise wouldn't be able to.

We started on this journey over five years ago and we've still got a long ways to go. We're thoughtfully adding new team members only when we think they can truly play a big role in our mission.

Speak launched first in South Korea where we have quickly grown to become the top grossing education app in the country. We have now delivered this winning product to more than 40 countries globally and are continuing to expand to more markets in the coming months. The company is well funded, and as of December 2024, we've reached a $1B valuation with our Series C round, through key partners like Accel, OpenAI, Founders Fund, Y Combinator, Khosla Ventures, Lachy Groom, Josh Buckley, and more. We’re a team of more than 90 based throughout San Francisco, Seoul, Tokyo, Taipei, and Ljubljana.

동료의 코멘트
스픽의 브랜드 마케터 두현입니다. 스픽은 지난 5년 간 빠르게 성장했고, 한국에서 가장 높은 브랜드 인지도를 가지고 있고, 팬덤도 보유하고 있습니다. 또한 그로스 전략과 측정 등에 있어, 세계에서 가장 앞서가는 솔루션을 도입하고 있으며, C레벨부터 실무진까지 그로스에 대한 이해도가 정말 높은 팀입니다.   눈부시게 성장해온 스픽, 현재는 그로스 마케팅의 변곡점에 와 있습니다. 지금까지 스픽은 시장의 문법을 그대로 따라오지 않았습니다. 때로는 완전히 새로운 시도를 하며 새로운 성장을 도모해왔죠. 스픽의 마케팅이 돋보이는 이유이고요. 저는 스픽이 계속해서 스픽만의 방식으로 성장하기를 바랍니다. 탁월한 그로스 마케팅팀을 리드해 계속해서 이전에 없던 성장을 만들어낼 리더를 찾고 있습니다.

About This Role

We’re looking for a Head of Growth (Korea) to lead Speak’s next stage of growth in its most important market. Based in Seoul, this person will be fully responsible for driving sustainable user acquisition, revenue expansion, and long-term retention in Korea—setting the vision, building the systems, and leading a high-performing team to deliver bold business outcomes.

As a key member of both the Korea leadership team and Speak’s global Growth team, you’ll oversee all aspects of our local growth strategy—including paid media, lifecycle marketing, funnel optimization, and new growth experiments. You’ll also act as a key advisor to brand and product teams to ensure our broader consumer business in Korea is set up for long-term success.

What you’ll be doing

What we’re looking for

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, and Tokyo, and you’ll have the opportunity to talk to users in each of these regions on a regular basis as well as travel.

  4. Impact people's lives in a major way: Learning a language is one of the single most life-changing skills one can learn, and right now 99% of people never achieve their goal because the process is broken. We’re helping millions of people achieve their goals and improve their lives.
