Product Manager - Amsterdam, London, Cologne or remote

DeepL...

is Germany's best-known AI company. We develop neural networks to help people work with language. With DeepL Translator, we have created the world's best machine translation system and made it available free of charge to everyone online. Over the next few years, we aim to make DeepL the world's leading language technology company.

Our goal is to overcome language barriers and bring cultures closer together.

What distinguishes us from other companies?

DeepL (formerly Linguee) was founded by developers and researchers. We focus on the development of new, exciting products, which is why we spend a lot of time actively researching the latest topics. We understand the challenges of developing new products and try to meet them with an agile and dynamic way of working. Our work culture is very open because we want our employees to feel comfortable. In our daily work we use modern technologies - not only to translate texts, but also to create the world's best dictionaries, and solve other language problems.

When we tell people about DeepL as an employer, reactions are overwhelmingly positive. Maybe it's because they have enjoyed our services, or maybe they just want to get on board with our quest to break down language barriers and facilitate communication.

Your choice We are constantly looking for outstanding employees! Currently we offer remote work in Germany, the Netherlands, the UK and Poland. Whether you would like to work from home in one of these countries or from one of our offices in Amsterdam, Berlin, London, Cologne or Paderborn: the choice is yours. No matter where you choose to work from, our way of working is designed to make you an essential part of the team.

What will you be doing at DeepL?

Own a key part of the customer journey by defining and delivering a roadmap on an impactful product. You are analytical, customer focused, dive into the detail and love working with highly technical teams on complex problems. You will lead a cross functional team through the whole product lifecycle to deliver impact at scale.

We are looking for 2 Product Managers to join our different squads:

- Product Manager B2B:

The core B2B team focuses on fundamental translation-related needs, ranging from small businesses to multinational corporations. The team is organised around customer type and is empowered to explore all kinds of customer needs in order to identify and realise the greatest potential to increase business customer retention. It's a diverse team of professionals who value having their opinions heard. They work as a unit from discovery and customer interviews, through design and development, to experimentation and iteration.

- Product Manager Subscription Platform:

The Subscription Platform are integrating Chargebee as a replacement for our inhouse subscription platform that is responsible for all subscription management, invoice, billing, payments, etc. As we move toward improving DeepL's offerings by increasing the flexibility of the plans we offer, the markets we operate in and improving the overall customer experience in the commercial space, we are looking for a technically oriented product manager that will be the domain expert around the subscriptions space and be responsible for the platform and the many adjacent systems and work with other product teams and internal stakeholders to understand and create solutions for the various opportunities.
