Mission

Speechify is the leading AI voice company in the world.  

  • Our AI text-to-speech app has over 30M users and ranks #1 in the App Store. 
  • We’ve built the largest AI reader web app and Chrome Extension in history. 
  • We have over 250,000 5-star reviews. 
  • Everyday, we get messages from users who tell us Speechify changed their lives.
  • Our senior engineering team is mostly ex-Amazon and ex-startup founders.
  • Our celebrity voice partners include Snoop Dogg, Mr. Beast, and Gwyneth Paltrow 
  • We have innovated in AI across all parts of our voice model – our latency, language selection, emotional controllability, voice quality, voice cloning ability, etc. are best-in-class and proven in our B2C applications at scale

Alongside our leading AI reader app, we have built two new businesses – our AI voice studio and dubbing SaaS offering, and our AI voice API, which allows third party developers to build AI voice into their products. 

Overview

We believe that every business in the future will use AI voice in some way, either to supercharge existing functions like customer support or sales, or provide new user experiences in AI voice-enabled coaching, therapy, healthcare, education, etc. 

Over the last eight years, we’ve built best-in-class AI voice models to power our own B2C and B2B applications. Now, we’re making out models available through an API for any developer or enterprise to build their own AI voice based experiences. Our existing AI voice partners include businesses across several industries, including healthcare, automotives and IoT, education, healthcare, consumer software, telecommunications, customer support and sales, etc. 

We’re looking for someone hungry to help us build out our GTM motion for our AI voice API. You’ll identify verticals for us to sell our voice API, help us build up our prospecting engine, develop a strategy for repeatable sales, and ultimately own revenue targets for our AI voice API. This is an amazing opportunity for any future founders who want to develop their entrepreneurial muscle and leadership ability in a high growth AI startup.

What You’ll Do
  • Talk to business and technical leaders across several industries to identify opportunities for our AI voice API 
  • Develop prospecting and go to market strategies for our AI voice API business 
  • Work with our API product team and AI research team to share feedback from early customers and develop additional API capabilities 
  • Learn to both prospect and sell a new AI offering across a diverse range of organizations from startups to established enterprises
  • Develop and execute marketing ideas to grow the new Speechify API among existing Speechify B2B customers and new API prospects 
  • Grow a skillset that will help you succeed in any future business role at a tech or AI company and that will also help you start your own future company
An Ideal Candidate Should Have
  • Prior consulting, banking, business development, or sales experience 
  • Strong interest in AI, technology, and willingness to learn about the deep technical needs of our customers 
  • We love anyone who has a prior history of winning at any competitive activity – whether it’s sports, academic competitions, etc. as this job requires tons of grit 
  • Entrepreneurial mindset, persistence, and willingness to hustle – you will be reaching out to several dozen – or even hundreds – of people per day and having dozens of conversations per week
  • Creativity – you will be tasked with finding new opportunities in the market for AI voice and then pursuing them

What We Offer

  • Rare chance to join an AI rocket ship that’s already a global brand
  • Become a founding member of a new business segment and build your career track record in AI
  • Unique cross-functional learning opportunity at intersection of business development, marketing, sales, AI research, and product 
  • Freedom to develop your own strategy around building out our GTM motion and learn from experimentation, while receiving regular support and guidance from leaders across our company
  • Work directly with C-Suite, AI researchers, and engineering leaders to get the Speechify AI voice API in the hands of businesses and developers

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
