→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

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)
