**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.
