About the role
We're looking for a Lead Business Analyst to be a strategic analytics partner to the entire company. You'll work across product, growth, marketing, finance, and leadership to answer the ambiguous, high-stakes questions that shape our direction — where to invest, what's really driving the business, and how our consumer and enterprise businesses fit together.
What they're looking for
- 4+ years in analytics, strategy, or business/finance analytics, with a track record of insight that changed material business decisions
- Advanced SQL, strong experience with modern analytics tools, and familiarity with dbt or semantic layers
- Hands-on experience applying AI/LLM tools to analytical tasks such as data synthesis, hypothesis generation, and productivity acceleration
- Strong business and financial acumen — you're comfortable owning the logic behind LTV, CAC, payback, NRR, and revenue recognition, and connecting it to strategy
- The ability to frame ambiguous questions, form a point of view, and communicate it persuasively to both technical and non-technical audiences, including leadership
- A bias for turning insight into decisions, and the ownership to follow through on impact
More about this role
Learning a language can change a life by opening doors to new cultures, careers, and communities. Two billion people around the world are actively trying to learn a language, but the best way to learn (one-on-one tutoring) is hard to access at scale and hasn’t been meaningfully improved in decades. Speak is building a human-level, AI-powered tutor in your pocket: a conversation-first experience that lets learners actually speak, get instant feedback, and progress through carefully designed lessons. The result is a complete path from beginner to confident speaker across multiple languages.
Speak first launched in South Korea in 2019, where Speak has now become the number one language learning app, and we now serve learners across many markets and 15+ languages. Speak is one of the world’s leading AI companies, with over $150m raised in venture investment from OpenAI, Accel, Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures, and more, with a distributed team across San Francisco, Seoul, Tokyo, Taipei, and Ljubljana.
