Product Designer (Consumer)

Join Speak, a fast-moving startup focused on revolutionizing language learning. As a Product Designer, you'll design core moments that help learners build real-world speaking confidence. You'll work across ambiguous, high-impact product areas and shape strategy and end-to-end product experiences. You'll also prototype quickly, partner with various teams, and use qualitative and quantitative signals to understand learner behavior. This role offers standard tech startup benefits, stipends for commuting, fitness, and learning, and opportunities for travel and collaboration.

• Concevoir des expériences utilisateur engageantes et efficaces pour les apprenants, en mettant l'accent sur les moments clés du parcours d'apprentissage.
• Collaborer avec des équipes interfonctionnelles pour définir des opportunités, évaluer l'impact et améliorer la qualité des produits destinés aux apprenants.
• Utiliser des signaux qualitatifs et quantitatifs pour comprendre le comportement des apprenants, synthétiser des insights et prendre des décisions éclairées en matière de produit.
• 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
• 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
• 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
• 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. You seek ways to put your work in front of people, before you feel it’s perfect just to learn something valuable
• 6+ years of product design experience. You have experience designing high-quality consumer products
• Experience in language learning, education, or another domain with deep cross-cultural product surface area
• A bias toward prototypes to communicate ideas, test assumptions, and make your thinking tangible
• A strong portfolio that demonstrates user-centric thinking, high craft, and innovative interaction patterns
• A point of view about agentic workflows you'd be excited to share with our team and ability to tinker directly in code
• Contributions to design systems that scale beyond a single team
