• Plan and execute localization roadmap through communication and collaboration with stakeholders.
• Provide glossaries, training, reference materials, and support for our localizers.
• Manage and resolve questions between multiple localization stakeholders (translators, designers, developers, product managers, local organizations etc).
• Manage, develop, and refine our localization tools and workflows.
• Be the champion for internationalization, culturalization, and localization. to ensure any cultural and technical localization issues are caught early.
• Engage and build relationships across the organization and evangelize localization and internationalization best practices
• Plan and manage localization schedules, collaborating cross-functionally to manage timelines
• Drive initiatives to foster innovation within strategic areas of focus such as internationalization, data, quality, tools and process optimization

• Fluent English, both written and spoken
• Solid understanding of app and web development processes

• Patience and ability to continuously move things forwards, inch by inch
• Previous experience working with a Translation Management System (TMS) and other tools like, JIRA, Figma, and Confluence

We expect you to share a portfolio of your favorite projects, so we can see how you work and your track record of shipping excellent products across markets and languages.
