**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
