## Job description

We’re looking for a Localisation Project Manager to join our growing Localisation team in Tallinn. Our team manages localisation projects across varied content types and language sets, ensuring high-quality, scalable experiences for our global audience. You will run end-to-end localisation initiatives, working closely with cross-functional stakeholders, creative teams, and external vendors while driving automation and MT/AI workflows to keep our operations fast, fail-proof, and efficient.

Your Mission In this role, your primary focus will be running end-to-end localisation projects within established time, cost, and quality frameworks. You will oversee requests across key channels - including our Help Centre, Notification Service, Product UI, and Marketing campaigns - while helping refine internal operations and methodologies for scale.

### What You’ll Be Doing

End-to-End Project Management: Plan, manage, and execute localisation projects across any content type and language set - from initial intake and scoping to QA, release, and post-delivery review.

### Stakeholder Management

Build trust and manage expectations across cross-functional teams. Communicate project status, risk logs, and quarterly pipelines, while identifying opportunities to refine workflows to optimise timelines, quality, or costs.

### Localisation Best Practices

Promote optimal workflows, CAT/TMS tooling, and industry best practices across stakeholders and project teams. Drive continuous process improvement to reduce manual intervention and build scalable operations.

### Budget & Cost Control

Help build quarterly spend forecasts, monitor outsource spend against actuals, and proactively predict and explain budget variances.

### Vendor Operations

Lead day-to-day management of external partners (LSPs and freelancers), regularly tracking quality standards, SLAs, timeliness, rate cards, and invoicing.

### Operational Collaboration

Partner with Localisation Managers to refine internal workflows, documentation, and operational standards.

### Mentorship

Optionally mentor junior Localisation Coordinators to level up their understanding of complex project workflows, stakeholder management, and vendor operations.

## Qualifications

### About You

Localisation Experience: 2+ years of project or program management experience delivering cross-functional, end-to-end client-side localisation initiatives (in tech, fintech, or digital product environments).

### Tooling & MT/AI Expertise

Solid hands-on experience using Translation Management Systems / CAT tools (e.g., Crowdin, Phrase, XTM, Smartling) and integrating MT/AI workflows with human review.

### Stakeholder & Vendor Ops

Proven track record managing external vendors (LSPs, freelancers) and collaborating with cross-functional internal stakeholders (Product, Marketing, Engineering, Legal).

### High-Pressure Execution

Ability to prioritize, flex, and adapt quickly in a fast-paced environment with competing deadlines, changing scopes, and varied content types (UI strings, emails, marketing copy, legal text).

### Autonomy & Ambiguity

Comfortable working with minimal supervision, dealing with ambiguity, and influencing decisions through clear communication and trust-building.

### Cultural Sensitivity

Deep appreciation of linguistic nuances, internationalisation requirements (variables, ICU plurals, RTL), and cultural sensitivities across markets.

### Right to Work in Estonia

You are currently based in Estonia and hold a valid work permit. Some Extra Hints That Would Be Great (Nice-to-Haves) Experience managing localisation specifically for Product UI and Marketing content in a financial or tech company. Experience with CRM integrations, Git, Figma connectors, or continuous localisation setups. Industry certifications such as PMP, Prince2, or Agile/Scrum.
