As a Technical Product Manager, you’ll be defining our product direction in close collaboration with our talented Engineering
teams. You’ll own product areas end-to-end and ensuring we ship the right things at pace. You’ll bring technical credibility to
every conversation and into product decisions that matter.
You’ll work alongside the VP, Product in a product function that punches well above its size, complementing our engineering and ML
teams with product leadership, aligning our roadmap across sales, research and GTM.
This is a role for someone with genuine technical depth who wants to grow into more, using their hands-on background to drive
product impact in one of the most technically interesting areas in AI today.
What will you be doing:
- Shipping Voice AI products end-to-end: From discovery and definition through to delivery and iteration. Focusing on shipping
value to customers, not just features. That means owning the success definition for key product areas: choosing the
right metrics and using data to drive iteration.
- Speaking directly to customers: Running your own interviews with users building with our Speech APIs for use cases such as
voice agents, medical scribes and more. Understanding their needs and communicating them to the business.
- Evolving the product roadmap for your area: Bringing customer and market insight as well as technical context to build
defendable prioritisation decisions.
- Partnering closely with ML researchers and engineers: To translate technical requirements and realities into product decisions.
Understanding what trade-offs need to be agreed and how to deliver efficiently.
- Working with sales and GTM: Defining how we package and position what we build, so that what we ship stands out in a
competitive market.
- Helping define what great product looks like at Speechmatics: Being part of a product culture built
on rigour, speed and deep curiosity.
Who we’re looking for:
- Product experience: You've taken a product from problem definition to delivery multiple times and measured the impact.
- Technical depth: You’ve worked in software engineering, ML, data science or a related technical field. You're comfortable
building scripts and quick prototypes, using the latest AI tools to move fast and validate ideas before committing engineering
resource.
- APIs and deployment: Familiarity with API-based products and SaaS or on-premise deployments would certainly help.
- ML Product fluency: You understand that shipping an ML model isn't like shipping a software feature. The definition of "ready
to ship" is not black and white, evaluation isn’t pass or fail.
- Experience working directly with teams that train, evaluate and ship models is a real advantage. If your background is outside
ML, we'll want to understand how you build technical fluency quickly and any relevant experience.
- Data instinct: You are comfortable digging into model evaluation results, asking whether the test data reflects real-world
conditions, and understanding what a benchmark result does and doesn't tell you.
- Engineering credibility: You can engage with ML engineers, researchers and developers from day one, earning trust by listening
and learning, rather than title.
- Comfortable with ambiguity: AI is moving quickly and so are we. You bring enough market and technical awareness to have a point
of view on where things are heading, and you use that to shape roadmap decisions rather than just react to them.
We encourage you to apply even if you do not feel you match all of the requirements exactly. The list of requirements is intended
to show the kinds of experience and qualities we’re looking for, but it is not exhaustive. If you are interested in the role, the
team, and our mission, we would love to consider your application. We are always open to conversations and look forward to hearing
from you.
Who we are:
Speechmatics is the leading expert in Speech Intelligence, and uses AI and Machine Learning to unlock business value in human
speech worldwide. We work with an amazing mix of global companies, and our technology can integrate into our customers stack
irrespective of their industry or use case – making it the go-to solution to harness useful information from speech.
Joining us means working with some of the smartest minds around the world, focused on cutting-edge projects and deploying the
latest techniques to disrupt the market. We believe in putting people first; we’ll do all we can to help you develop your skills
and give you the tools you need to thrive. Our Focus Fridays give you an undisturbed day of focus, offset with Together Tuesdays
when we have our team meetings, so you've always got the right balance.
We have structured a hybrid approach that includes 2-3 designated office days each week. This arrangement ensures that while we
embrace the advantages of remote work, we also maintain the vital connection and synergy that only in-person interactions can
foster.
This is only the beginning; we’re looking for amazing people like you to continue our journey…
What we can offer you:
No matter what stage of your career you’re at - from paid internships and first-job opportunities through to management and senior
positions - we’ll support you with the training and development needed to reach your career aspirations with us. There really is
no shortage of opportunities here for you to get involved and collaborate with those around you to deliver your best work.
We offer incredibly flexible working, regular company lunches, and birthday celebrations. But that’s not all. We’ve spoken to our
teams to find out what they want. From Private Medical, and Dental for you and your family, through to global working
opportunities, a generous holiday allowance and pension/401K matching, we want to make sure our employees and their families are
looked after. Every employee will receive a working from home allowance for tech or home office equipment (on top of your choice
of laptop and accessories of course). Our approach to parental leave is designed to support employees globally. While this varies
by geo, we have support in place for parents (including adoption assistance and reproductive health services) to ensure they have
the time and financial resources needed to care for their growing families.
At Speechmatics, our mission is simple: Understand Every Voice out there.
That's not just about our tech – it's the heart and soul of who we are. We welcome different experiences, viewpoints, and
identities. For us, it’s not just the right thing to do; it’s our catalyst for sparking innovation and creativity. Our teams
thrive in an environment that celebrates and supports everyone – no matter their gender, identity or expression, race, disability,
age, sexual orientation, religion, belief, marital status, national origin, veteran status, pregnancy, or maternity status.
But we don’t just open the door to diversity – we actively welcome it. Why? Because we believe every unique voice adds something
special to our team, leading us to smarter solutions and a better workplace.
So, come as you are and join our Speechling community. We’re building a place where every voice not only gets heard but is also
respected and valued.
