Senior Product Manager (MT)

At Phrase, we help open the door to global business by providing the world’s most comprehensive localization platform.

We’re transforming language technology with our AI platform to give people the content they need, in the language they speak. Whether it’s for digital products like an app or website, marketing comms, legal literature, internal comms or customer service messaging, Phrase ensures that content always hits its mark by being on brand, consistent, and culturally resonant.

With a global team working from our offices in Hamburg and Prague—or from home across Europe, the UK, the US, and the APAC region—we help organizations like Uber, Shopify, Puma, Snowflake, Volkswagen and thousands of others engage their customers at scale to accelerate growth.

We are seeking an experienced Senior Product Manager to lead innovation, strategy and execution for managing content repositories – from glossaries over translation memories to styleguides, and making them available to improve localization quality of machine translation.

• Product Strategy: Develop and execute a comprehensive product strategy for managing linguistic assets and content repositories for translation needs, aligned with Phrase’s overall goals.
• Value Analysis: In partnership with Marketing and Design, conduct research to identify customer needs, emerging trends, and competitive landscape to identify high impact product opportunities.
• Product Development: Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including engineering, data science, and linguistics, to design, develop, and launch innovative MT products.
• Stakeholder Management: Engage with internal and external industry experts and stakeholders to gather insights, provide updates, and ensure alignment on product vision and goals.
• Product Roadmap: Define and manage the product roadmap, with a focus on balancing tactical needs with strategic advancements, as well as coordinating implementation across different teams.
• Performance Monitoring: Identify what success looks like, defining early and late success metrics, and work with the data team to set up monitoring and dashboards.

The ideal candidate has strong product management skills, bringing an extensive toolbox to create and align on a vision, collaborate on strategy, and manage day-to-day work and challenges. Understanding the localisation industry and machine translation technologies and trends is a plus, but can be compensated for with the eagerness and ability to get up to speed quickly.
