About the role
Product Designer focused on consumer experiences at Speak, designing core moments that help learners build real-world speaking confidence across onboarding, practice with AI, feedback, motivation, and long-term learning habits.
Responsibilities
- Shape strategy and end-to-end product experiences for Speak’s consumer learning surfaces, bringing deep empathy for learners across cultures, motivations, and proficiency levels
- Design across key growth moments — onboarding, activation, habit formation, retention, and subscription experiences — while protecting learner trust and long-term learning outcomes
- Prototype quickly in AI tools, code, or interactive design tools to make new learning experiences feel real before they are fully built
- Partner with Product, Data, Research, and Engineering to define opportunities, evaluate impact, and raise the quality bar for learner-facing product work
- Use qualitative and quantitative signals to understand learner behavior, synthesize insights, and make strong product judgments
- Invent novel interaction patterns for AI-powered learning that go beyond generic AI templates
- Thrive in an ambiguous, fast-moving startup environment where the best answer often has to be discovered through making
- The exact product area you will work on will depend on team needs and your strengths, but likely areas include onboarding, activation, personalized learning, speaking practice, subscriptions, and learner motivation.
Qualifications
- 6+ years of product design experience. You have experience designing high-quality consumer products.
- You stay close to users. You think about real people learning real languages in real contexts. You actively seek out the humans using the product, not just data about them and are able to synthesize valuable insights about them that inform strategy and direction.
- Product thinking and structured judgment. You frame the problem before solving it and always know why you’re doing something. You can distill what you’re working on into simple narrative framings and key beats without being lost in the details.
- AI-native workflow. You already use AI creatively in your process to unlock speed and quality and are eager to continue learning how to apply it in novel ways.
- Taste and craft while moving fast. You can spot a great idea in a sea of okay ones and understand what’s worth investing in building. You do this while moving quickly and know when to stay scrappy vs invest deeply in final polish.
- 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.
