Customer Experience Agent — LATAM / Americas (Contract)

About us

Our mission is to reinvent the way people learn, starting with language.

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.

About This Role

Speak's Global Customer Experience (CX) team delivers world-class support and experience for learners all around the world. We partner with effective tools and AI to ensure that no matter where our learners are based, they can receive the support they need and experience the full Speak method.

We're looking for a passionate, detail-oriented CX Agent to support our Spanish and English-speaking users in the Americas. You'll be the voice of Speak for LATAM and US users — resolving issues quickly, maintaining high quality standards, and sharing the user's perspective with our team. This role plays a key part in keeping our Americas users engaged, satisfied, and loyal.

This is a fully remote contractor role, and we're looking for candidates based in Argentina, Brazil, or Mexico. Hours are Eastern Time (9am–6pm ET, Monday–Friday).

What You'll Be Doing

• Handle inbound support requests in English and other ROW languages via in-app chat, email, and other channels

• Diagnose and resolve issues related to subscriptions, account access, billing, and app features

• Escalate technical bugs and complex cases to the related PoCs with clear reproduction steps

• Maintain consistent quality scores across all user interactions (CSAT, QPI)

• Identify patterns in user feedback and share insights with the CX lead and product team

• Contribute to the internal Knowledge Base in Spanish and English

• Participate in async syncs, QA reviews, and VoC reporting

What We're Looking For

Minimum requirements

• 1+ years of customer support or customer-facing experience

• Native-level English communication skills (reading, writing, speaking)

• Professional-level Spanish for user communication

• Familiarity with US user communication norms

• Strong empathy and a user-first mindset

• Self-starter with the ability to independently manage multiple cases and proactively flag issues

• Available to work Eastern Time hours (9am–6pm ET, Mon–Fri)

Nice to haves

• Experience with support tools such as Intercom or Zendesk

• Experience supporting a mobile app or SaaS product

• Familiarity with subscription billing or in-app purchase flows

• Comfortable using AI tools in day-to-day work

1. Join a fantastic, tight-knit team at the right time: we're growing very quickly, we've most recently raised our Series C from some of the top investors in the valley, and we've achieved product-market fit in our initial markets. You'd join at a magical time when a single person could significantly change the course of the company.

2. Do your life's work with people you’ll love working with: we care strongly about our craft and want every person at Speak to feel like they're growing every day. We believe in the idea that working with people you both enjoy and have respect for makes everything better. We hire thoughtfully and only work with people we admire deeply.

3. Global in nature: We're live in over 40 countries and launching in a number of new markets soon. We have dedicated offices in San Francisco, Ljubljana, Seoul, Tokyo, and Taipei, and you’ll have the opportunity to talk to users in each of these regions on a regular basis as well as travel.

4. Impact people's lives in a major way: Learning a language is one of the single most life-changing skills one can learn, and right now 99% of people never achieve their goal because the process is broken. We’re helping millions of people achieve their goals and improve their lives.

• Show multilingual fluency with measurable results: Include a brief table in your resume or cover letter listing the languages you speak, proficiency level (CEFR), and any quantifiable outcomes (e.g., “Handled 150+ Spanish‑language support tickets/week with 96 % CSAT”). Speak values language expertise; concrete metrics prove you can help learners succeed.
• Demonstrate experience with AI‑driven support tools: Highlight any work using chatbots, sentiment‑analysis APIs, or CRM platforms like Zendesk, Intercom, or Freshdesk that integrate AI. In your interview, walk through a specific case where you used AI suggestions to resolve a learner’s issue faster, emphasizing the impact on response time and satisfaction.
• Create a “Customer Journey Snapshot” portfolio piece: Build a one‑page PDF showing a typical learner issue (e.g., pronunciation feedback), the steps you’d take in Speak’s conversation‑first flow, the tools you’d use, and the desired outcome. Share this as a supplemental attachment or screen‑share during the interview to prove you understand Speak’s product pipeline.
• Prepare STAR stories around LATAM cultural nuances: Interviewers will probe how you adapt communication for diverse cultures. Prepare three concise STAR examples (Situation, Task, Action, Result) that illustrate handling regional idioms, time‑zone challenges, or accessibility concerns for Spanish‑ and Portuguese‑speaking users.
• Negotiate with market data for LATAM remote contracts: Research comparable remote CX salaries on Glassdoor, PayScale, and regional job boards (e.g., Computrabajo). When discussing compensation, reference a range (e.g., $22‑$28 USD / hour) backed by your experience level and the cost‑of‑living index for your city, positioning yourself as a well‑informed candidate.
