We are looking for a Senior Product Manager, NLP & Speech Recognition (all genders) to join our team in the heart of buzzing Berlin!

You will:
- Focus on the outcome by translating company OKRs into more specific team KPIs and analyzing feature-level metrics to derive targets for the next areas of improvement. Communicate decisions and relevant business results to the rest of the company

- Empathize with Babbel learners through qualitative and quantitative research
- Work closely with the other members of the product trio (Product Designer and Engineering Manager) to prioritize opportunities and define experiments to de-risk the four big product risks: value, usability, feasibility, business viability, build hypotheses, prototype, and scope solutions to implement
- Leverage data collection to build data flywheels and set the market standard for AI-powered language learning
- Build strong partnerships and collaboration with key product functions beyond the product trio (Product Analytics, Data, Engineering, User Research, Learning Content) to discover, test, and release each feature
- With the Engineering Manager, maintain a product backlog to facilitate a constant stream of valuable work for the team; continuously improve the team’s ways of working (agile ceremonies, best practices, team agreement) and ensure that data collection and processing standards are followed
You are:
- A lifelong learner, someone who can unlearn and learn quickly and wants to create an impact for our learners, ready to embrace the Babbel Product Culture
- Comfortable with giving and receiving feedback for continuous improvement
- Ready to take on responsibilities and accountability
- Motivated to achieve business goals
- Data-informed and business-oriented
- Eager to innovate, prototype, and learn continuously through rapid testing
- A compelling storyteller who can communicate in concise and inspiring ways to a variety of audience types
You have:
- 5+ years experience working as a Product Manager in a cross-functional team
- Experience in Speech Recognition and AI / NLP-related research
- Pragmatic approach and bias to action: you prefer to improve iteratively rather than working on long-term bets
- Demonstrated capability and hands-on experience in developing data products with an interest in data science

- A track record of delivering business value
- Excellent communication skills in written and spoken English
Plus at least one of these:
