Responsibilities

Design, document, and continuously improve the end-to-end localization workflow: content extraction → vendor hand-off → review → integration → launch.
Own vendor relationships: select, onboard, brief, and performance-manage multiple localization partners across multiple languages.
Build and maintain a centralized localization kit system (source copy, glossaries, style guides, reference assets, screenshots, context videos) so vendors never guess.
Create and drive detailed localization schedules that sync with product roadmaps, content release calendars, and marketing campaigns.
Act as the “traffic controller”, proactively chase internal teams to deliver final copy and assets on the exact dates promised so vendors can start on time.
Manage buffers, critical paths, and risk mitigation so we never miss a launch window.
Extract, prepare, and package all source materials (UI strings, course lessons, quizzes, videos, illustrations, audio, PDFs, marketing copy) in the exact formats vendors need.
Implement automated or semi-automated pipelines (using tools like Crowdin, Phrase, GitHub Actions, Figma plugins, etc.) to reduce manual work.
Perform thorough linguistic, functional, and cultural QA on every localized deliverable.
Test in-context: app UI in right-to-left languages, subtitle timing, voice-over sync, quiz functionality, image text replacement, etc.
Own the bug triage and re-work process with vendors until 100% sign-off.
Maintain and evolve language-specific QA checklists and style guides tailored to educational content.
Partner daily with Content, Product, Engineering, Design, and Marketing to forecast localization needs and remove blockers.
Provide clear localization feasibility feedback during planning (word count estimates, asset requirements, timeline impact).
Track budgets, report KPIs (on-time delivery, quality scores, cost per word), and present monthly localization health updates.
