Jobbeschreibung

Are you an experienced Product Manager who loves turning real user needs into devices that feel intuitive, innovative, and built to last? At Speech Processing Solutions, we build speech recognition and voice productivity hardware and software solutions that help professionals in law, healthcare, and beyond work smarter and more efficiently. We're looking for a Product Manager to own the strategy and roadmap for our hardware portfolio. You'll take end-to-end ownership of this portfolio, shape its long-term direction, and partner closely with Hardware Engineering, Software Development and Product Management as well as commercial stakeholders to bring devices to market that our customers trust and depend on.

What You’ll Do

• Own the product strategy and roadmap for the SPS hardware portfolio, aligned with SPS business goals, our software ecosystem, and market needs


• Drive innovation: challenge the status quo of our portfolio, identify where new form factors, technologies, and device categories can open up new revenue streams


• Get close to customers and partners - visit them, run discovery, attend trade fairs, and bring their reality back into the roadmap. Proactive, hands-on user centricity is the core of this role


• Define and prioritize hardware initiatives, balancing customer value, cost, manufacturability, certification and regulatory requirements, and technical feasibility


• Work with Hardware Engineering at eye level: translate market needs into clear requirements, and understand enough of the technology to have a real conversation about trade-offs


• Ensure hardware and software evolve as one product experience, in close alignment with the Software Product Managers


• Manage the full product lifecycle - from concept and business case through launch, ramp-up, optimization and structured phase-out - including pricing and portfolio performance (revenue, margin, adoption)


• Create roadmaps, business cases and product reports, and present them internally and externally


• Coordinate the roll-out of new products and features together with Sales, Marketing and Support, and ensure a successful market launch


• Act as internal product expert and ambassador for the hardware portfolio, building alignment across stakeholders

What You Bring

• At least 4 years of product management experience with physical products, ideally in medtech, healthtech, or voice productivity solutions. Experience with dictation hardware is the ideal case


• Alternatively: a strong startup or scale-up background with the can‑do energy to build things from scratch and move fast


• Enough technical understanding — or the demonstrated ability to grasp hardware quickly — to communicate at eye level with hardware developers


• A structured, analytical mindset combined with the drive to get out of the building and talk to users


• A proven track record of driving innovation and product discovery — someone who leads initiatives rather than waits for them, and energizes a team around a clear direction


• Ability to translate complex user needs into clear product decisions and priorities


• Strong stakeholder management across technical, commercial and operational partners


• Fluency in both German and English (written and spoken)

What We Offer

• In accordance with the collective agreement for the Electrical- and Electronics Industry, the minimum base salary for this role is € 65 650 gross per year. The actual compensation package will be tailored to your experience and qualifications


• Stability with innovation: be part of a recognized global leader in speech management and recognition solutions, sold under the renowned Philips brand


• A collaborative culture: Experience an inclusive, international team that values Ownership, Talent, and Transparency. We’re driven, supportive, and excited to welcome new ideas and people.


• Continuous learning: a dedicated framework for your development


• Comprehensive perks and benefits including:
  
  
  • Flexible working hours
  
  
  • Home-office Days
  
  
  • Possibility for Workation from abroad
  
  
  • Learning and Development Opportunities according to your needs
  
  
  • A company canteen and healthy snacks
  
  
  • Mavie.care employee assistance program
  
  
  • 24th and 31st of December as additional days off
