Social Media Intern - China

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.

We're looking for a Social Media Intern to help build Speak's presence on Xiaohongshu, Douyin, WeChat and other channels as we launch in a new market. You'll create localized content around English learning, AI and local trends, track what resonates, and help shape our content direction from the ground up. This is a hands-on role on a small, fast-moving team; you'll see your ideas go live quickly and learn what works with real users.

This is a hybrid role based in Shanghai, with onsite presence preferred.
