Required qualifications: 4+ years in localization management, translation project management, or related global content/marketing roles; proven experience managing translation vendors and multi-language programs at scale; hands-on expertise with Translation Management Systems (Smartling, Lokalise, Phrase, Crowdin); strong project management skills for concurrent language releases; excellent cross-functional communication with Product, Engineering, Design, Marketing, and Sales; deep understanding of i18n and l10n best practices; quality-first mindset with attention to linguistic and cultural detail; continuous-improvement mentality; experience with AI-assisted translation and quality workflows; fluency in English plus proficiency in another language (Korean or Japanese preferred); Bachelor's degree in Business, Linguistics, International Studies, Marketing, or related field (or equivalent). B2B SaaS, hardware/IoT, or security industry experience is a plus.
