The opportunity

You’ll partner closely with two technical program managers based in the U.S., one of whom provides global alignment and load balancing across the team.

You’ll also collaborate regularly with two senior linguists—based in Seoul and Tokyo—who develop and maintain style guides, term dictionaries, and review content from external vendors. In addition, you will work alongside localization engineers who manage machine translation workflows and automation tools, ensuring scalability and technical precision.

• Coordinate closely with linguists, localization engineers, and APAC-based vendors to ensure quality, consistency, and technical reliability across workflows; occasional travel (10–25%) may be required to support team and vendor alignment
• Identify opportunities to improve localization processes and contribute to scaling our global operations

What we're looking for

• 5–10 years of professional experience, including technical project/program management in localization, content, or global operations
