Marketing Associate - Taiwan
Speak
About us
Our mission is to reinvent the way people learn, starting with language. We begin by teaching the next billion people English, Spanish, and French.
English is the global language of business, culture, and communication, and over 1.5 billion people around the world are actively trying to learn right now. Others dream of communicating with the half-billion native Spanish speakers across the globe. The problem is that it's nearly impossible to learn to speak a language without constant access to a speaking partner. Grammar and vocab apps don't really help – you need to actually converse with someone.
Speak is on a journey to fix this. We're creating an AI-powered experience that replicates the flow of a conversation, without needing a human on the other end. The goal is to make it radically more accessible to be able to have conversations in a foreign language and eventually help hundreds of millions of people gain fluency who otherwise wouldn't be able to.
We started on this journey over five years ago and we've still got a long ways to go. We're thoughtfully adding new team members only when we think they can truly play a big role in our mission.
Speak launched first in South Korea where we have quickly grown to become the top grossing education app in the country. We have now delivered this winning product to more than 40 countries globally and are continuing to expand to more markets in the coming months. The company is well funded, and as of December 2024, we've reached a $1B valuation with our Series C round, through key partners like Accel, OpenAI, Founders Fund, Y Combinator, Khosla Ventures, Lachy Groom, Josh Buckley, and more. We’re a team of more than 90 based throughout San Francisco, Seoul, Tokyo, Taipei, and Ljubljana.
The Speak Taiwan team is on the lookout for a Marketing Intern/Contractor to help us scale our influencer and paid media efforts as we grow into the #1 language learning solution. You’ll be working alongside a talented team of local and global marketers to keep our creative engine running—turning ideas into campaigns and creators into brand partners.
We’re looking for someone detail-oriented, creative, and excited to take ownership of the behind-the-scenes magic that brings great marketing to life. If you thrive in a fast-paced, startup environment and love the idea of helping a product that people truly love reach even more learners, this might be for you.
This is a 6 month internship and hybrid in Taipei City. The majority of working hours are remote, but with weekly team gatherings for stronger collaboration.

Collaborate with the marketing team to execute influencer marketing campaigns and paid advertising initiatives
Research, identify, and pitch creators for campaigns, and manage communications, timelines, and deliverables
Draft and review influencer scripts to ensure clarity, brand alignment, and engagement
Track campaign performance and share key insights with the team
Help adapt influencer content into high-performing ad creatives
Refresh paid ad creatives and copy daily, ensuring proper setup at the ad set level (excluding campaign/budget)

Manage UGC creators, including timeline tracking and content review for quality and brand standards
What we’re looking for
A recent graduate or junior marketer with relevant experience in marketing, influencer management, or similar roles
Native-level proficiency in Mandarin + business-level proficiency in English
Strong sense of ownership and execution—able to efficiently manage daily marketing tasks with precision
Strong sense of responsibility to maintain productivity in a remote work setting, with the flexibility to meet in-person at least once a week
A great communicator and collaborator, across both local and global teams
Creative instincts with strong copywriting or content editing skills, particularly for paid ads
Bonus points if you have:
