Director of Product Management

What you will do: Product Strategy & Vision

• In coordination with the SVP Product Management, define and evolve product vision and multi ‑ horizon roadmaps aligned with Babel Street’s “North Star” corporate strategy.
• Conduct ongoing market, customer, and competitive analysis to identify growth opportunities and emerging threats.
• Translate strategic objectives into clear product outcomes, success metrics, and priorities.

Customer & Market Leadership

• Ensure product direction is grounded in real-world customer workflows, mission outcomes, and market needs/gaps.
• Represent the voice of the customer across Engineering, Sales, Marketing, and Leadership.

Roadmap Ownership & Execution

• Own and prioritize the product P&L and roadmap (defining the “What”, “Why”, and “When”) in partnership with Engineering (responsible for the “How”), balancing customer value, technical feasibility, and business impact.
