Role
Who you are

What the job involves
- We're looking for a marketing designer to join our US-based marketing team
- The ideal candidate will be a strong generalist designer who has extensive experience collaborating with marketing teams on ads, emails, landing pages and more, is deeply user-centric, and loves to iterate, test, and learn
- You’ll work not only with marketers on our US-based team, but also share and consolidate best practices with our marketing designers in our international markets to drive cohesion across markets
- Partner with marketers to design our creative roadmap, synthesizing audience insights and current trends to concept winning ads, converting landing pages, and emails worth reading

- Work with contract designers and agencies to help scale our design efforts not only in the US but in our emerging markets, and create templates and brand guidelines to ensure the quality of our design

- Synthesize performance data with customer insights and surveys to improve the communication of our marketing messaging and our ads performance in partnership with our marketers, iterating on assets to improve performance
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.
