Job Description

SoundHound AI believes every person should be able to interact naturally with the products around them–by simply talking. With a global reach spanning more than two dozen languages, we build Voice AI products with conversational intelligence for cars, restaurant ordering, and more, allowing our customers to extend their brand in new and meaningful ways.

This role is part of our Automotive & IoT division and is ideally based in Berlin, Germany, where we have our German office.

The main scope of this role is to work on the core of our voice AI product, enhancing the experience and continuing our path as an industry trailblazer with a best-in-class user experience. We lead with a product- and user-centric mindset.

In this role, you will:

• Define and continuously iterate product requirements for how to leverage AI to maximize the user experience for our voice AI users
• Define and implement customization options for users at our partners' companies (e.g., Automotive OEMs), as well as end users' needs regarding onboarding and a personalized experience (e.g., drivers)
• Drive product-led growth by leveraging a free entry point and building a consistent journey with a freemium package and meaningful paid tiers
• Conduct market research and work closely with the Business Development department to ensure pursuing user-relevant offerings
• Be frequently in touch with our partners and other third parties to identify opportunities and drive collaboration agreements where needed
• Collaborate with the Engineering department to identify the best scalable architecture & solutions that fulfill product requirements while considering an optimized effort-/benefit-ratio
• Consider and coordinate both frontend and backend implications
• Prioritize feature roadmap and organize backlog for this team
• Work closely with Product Management leadership to ensure alignment of this endeavor with the broader Product Strategy

We would love to hear from you if:

• You have a minimum of 5 years of experience in Product Management and understand the concept of product-centricity/product-led growth
• You have successfully shipped software products at scale in fast-paced environments
• You are used to working with cross-functional teams spread across timezones
• You are comfortable working in a remote-first/hybrid setup
• You know how to deal with the pain of trade-offs in the context of product decisions
• You enjoy working with a high degree of autonomy and self-motivation
• You are a team player and pleasant to work with
• You have an advanced degree in a technical or business field

We’d be especially excited if you know about the specific context of Generative AI or Large Language Models, or if you are familiar with voice/audio space. Also, ideally, you are a strategic thinker who doesn’t shy away from rolling up their sleeves and working very hands-on.

We are dedicated to promoting diversity and inclusion within our team and warmly welcome applications from female candidates. We value the unique perspectives and experiences that women bring to our workplace, believing they are essential to driving innovation and success. We encourage women to apply and look forward to the diverse contributions they can bring to our organization.

This role is available in Germany, with a preference for Berlin-based candidates. Employees within a 100-kilometer radius of our Berlin office are expected to work from the office at least on three pre-scheduled “core days” each month to encourage cross-team connection and in-person collaboration. Aside from these office-specific “core days,” this job allows for virtual/remote, hybrid, and in-office workplace setting options. Total compensation for this role includes a competitive salary, equity (SOUN shares), paid time off, and other benefits.
