Are you a strategic leader with a passion for global communication? As our next Localization Manager, you won't just be translating content—you'll be at the forefront of our global expansion, ensuring our platform speaks to customers in their language, literally and culturally. You'll act as the crucial bridge between our product, marketing, and engineering teams, delivering localized experiences that resonate with our diverse, international user base across over 170 countries. This isn't just about managing projects; it's about shaping our international presence and seeing your contributions directly impact the company’s ambitious growth trajectory.
On a typical day, you might:
- Lead and mentor a team of professionals and external partners, guiding them on localization best practices and fostering a culture of quality and efficiency.
- Act as a strategic partner to product, marketing, and engineering teams to define and execute localization strategies that align with our international growth objectives.
- Collaborate cross-functionally to implement internationalization (i18n) best practices and optimize localization workflows, streamlining collaboration between teams.
- Drive continuous improvement initiatives to enhance quality and efficiency by establishing and maintaining linguistic assets (glossary, style guides, and translation memories) and optimizing quality assurance processes.
- Report to leadership on the execution of the localization program's roadmap, performance, and the localization ROI for international market penetration.
- Work closely with release management to ensure localized content is delivered in sync with product launches across all customer touchpoints, including the platform UI, marketing campaigns, and documentation.
The ideal candidate will bring:
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in localization project management, preferably in SaaS or technology companies, with a strong focus on driving global growth.
- Proven expertise with translation management systems like Lokalise, Crowdin, or Phrase, and a strong understanding of localization workflows and industry best practices.
- A proven ability to understand and proactively communicate the technical requirements of localization, including internationalization standards and file formats, while working effectively with engineering teams.
- Exceptional organizational and project management skills with a track record of managing complex, multi-stakeholder projects with competing priorities.
- Strong analytical skills with the ability to use data to drive decisions and communicate the impact of localization efforts to stakeholders.
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to build consensus across teams, demonstrating cultural sensitivity and a deep understanding of global market nuances.
- Prior experience with marketing automation platforms or email marketing is a plus, as is knowledge of accessibility standards in localization.
- Fluency in English plus proficiency in at least one additional language.
