Role
Who you are
- 3+ years of experience as a Product Manager working with engineers (and preferably also design and user research) in an agile environment
- Strong technical background: the ideal candidate has both studied computer science (or a related subject) and worked as a developer
- Understanding of how to lead an impactful product team – analysis, hypothesis formation, ideation, prioritisation and execution
- Data focus. You base your decisions on facts, not opinion, and always seek to validate any hypothesis both before and after implementation. SQL knowledge is a plus
- Strong communication and presentation skills with the help of insight and data
- Ideally: experience working on a product at scale, with an international footprint
- Great command of the English language. Other languages would be an advantage
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Technical Product Manager to join our Document Translation team
- The team is part of the Core Platform track at DeepL and has the mission to enable workflows extending beyond one-off text translation, by providing user facing teams with a scalable and easy-to-use platform
- With this team you have a chance to build the foundation for DeepL’s advanced AI capabilities
- You will be working in close cooperation with customers, other product teams, and the Research team
- You will own a key part of the customer journey, by defining and delivering a roadmap on a product with more than 100 million users
- Technical Product Managers at DeepL are regular members of the Product team, but with an additional level of software development expertise that makes it easier to excel while working with platform teams
- Define the mission, strategy and roadmap for one of DeepL’s critical platform teams involved in a number of initiatives that move us beyond just text translations
- Cooperate with internal and external stakeholders to maximise the value offered by our platform
- Lead a collaborative team process to translate user and business needs into development requirements that drive impact
- Own the product lifecycle from discovery to launch and drive measurable business impact
- Define metrics and KPIs to measure and report progress
- Ensure the maximum Return on Investment for your team’s efforts
- Communicate strategy, ideas and concepts clearly, aimed at the right audience, with the help of insight and data
- Identify opportunities for new features and products that leverage the global scale of our user base and data
Our take
DeepL is a deep tech company developing neural networks that help people work with languages. Committed to advancing precision and idiomatic comprehension in business translation.
Founded in 2017, DeepL quickly became a leader in language translation with its advanced generative AI model, setting new standards for accuracy and sophistication. Serving over 100,000 customers across media, education, transportation, and more, the company enhances communication efficiency across multinational teams and customer interactions via web apps, and integrated platforms, solidifying its industry position.
With funding, the launch of its new Write product, and the recent announcement of three additional languages to its platform, the company plans to expand globally, focusing on the US, Asia, and LATAM. As businesses prioritize accuracy, privacy, and security in translations, DeepL is well-positioned to meet the growing demand for specialised AI solutions in the enterprise sector.
