What the job involves
- We’re hiring a Product Manager for Speak for Business (S4B) — our fast-growing B2B offering that enables global companies to deliver world-class AI-powered English training to their teams
- You’ll own the product vision and roadmap for our enterprise platform, working across onboarding, engagement and efficacy features to personalized curriculum solutions tailored to real workplace needs
- With surging inbound demand from international employers and a deeply engaged learner base, this role is pivotal in turning a promising sales channel into a scaled, standalone product
- It’s a unique opportunity to shape how leading global brands upskill their workforce — combining the polish of consumer UX with the power of enterprise-grade infrastructure
- Own the S4B product strategy and roadmap end-to-end — from long-term vision to quarterly priorities to weekly execution, aligning with company-wide goals
- Partner cross-functionally with Sales, Success, Engineering, Design, and Marketing to define priorities, unblock execution, and deliver value to enterprise customers
- Drive strategic initiatives end-to-end, including product discovery, roadmap development, cross-functional alignment, and post-launch iteration
- Embed deeply in customer feedback loops, becoming a trusted voice of the enterprise buyer and their teams, and translating needs into scalable product solutions
- Shape how global enterprises teach English at scale, leveraging Speak’s AI infrastructure to pioneer dynamic, company-specific curriculum experiences
Our take
As the international language of business, there are many incentives for global entrepreneurs to learn English. With over 1.5 billion people actively learning the language to better their chances in the job market, the customer base for Speak, an AI tutor in the English language is potentially massive.
Investors believe so too, with tens of millions of dollars raised to fund the company from a range of international firms including Korean investors and the Silicon Valley-based OpenAI Fund. This surge of capital will help Speak develop its software and open new markets, especially in the US.
Speak is attempting to break into a human-saturated education market and the success of learning English fluently through its platform is yet to be proven. That being said, it has the potential to become a leading tool specifically in the mobile app sector if it can prove itself as efficient and accessible as the language learning platform DuoLingo.
