  • Monitor timelines, budgets, and quality, ensuring smooth delivery across all languages.
  • Oversee internal and external linguist assignments, maintaining consistency in tone, terminology, and style.
  • Drive kick-off, status, and retrospective meetings to keep things sharp and evolving.
Client & Cross-Team Collaboration 
  • Act as the main point of contact for our clients, communicating updates, handling feedback, and managing expectations with clarity and confidence.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Language Specialists, Audio, Engineering, and Lead Testers to align efforts and elevate outcomes.
  • Represent Altagram in meetings and contribute to growing client relationships.
Process & Quality 
  • Optimize workflows and localization processes as we grow our portfolio of projects.
  • Monitor output quality and implement strategies to maintain and exceed standards.

  • At least 4 years of experience managing localization projects, preferably in games, ideally with AAA clients.
  • Strong grasp of full-cycle localization: from text and audio to QA and delivery.
  • Confidence in handling client calls, managing feedback, and keeping many plates spinning.
  • A proactive problem-solver with strong organizational and communication skills.
  • Experience with localization tools (e.g., memoQ) and an understanding of file formats and workflows.
  • Familiarity with internationalization and globalization principles.
