The job in a nutshell

Localization at TestGorilla (or, as we like to call it, international expansion) is centered around linguistic excellence, a great team environment, and cutting-edge technology. We are responsible for the translation and cultural adaptation of everything TestGorilla creates, from our scientifically designed skills tests (ranging from coding to personality and cognitive ability tests) to beautiful user interfaces and marketing campaigns that attract customers worldwide. Our work is not just about translation, it’s about providing our customers and candidates with an experience that feels local.
TestGorilla is a global SaaS product, so our International Expansion team needs to scale to support our goals.
As the Localization Project Manager, you will work directly with the International Expansion Team Lead, develop key relationships with our third-party linguists and become a localization champion in our cross-functional internationalization team.
You are responsible for all elements of the localization workflow of our content, from request creation to job completion.
You are a highly motivated individual who works comfortably and autonomously in a fast-paced and sometimes ambiguous environment. You have a proven ability to manage priorities and projects and the right mix of organizational and communication skills. Are you ready to embark on this exciting journey with us? 
You’ll spend time on the following:

Manage localization projects and requirements across stakeholders
Oversee end-to-end localization workflow using our translation management tools and systems
Drive high-quality output from localization vendors and freelancers
Manage independent projects within the program
Work cross-functionally with TestGorilla stakeholders to identify critical business blockers and collaborate to solve and optimize these
Identify and manage project risk through prioritization, bug management, and any other means necessary
Oversee the localization budget for your projects by gathering data on the cost, timeliness, and quality of your projects
Contribute to project kick-offs and meetings with cross-functional groups for planning
Promote international expansion to stakeholders
Here’s what we are looking for:

You are inspired by our mission to put 1 billion of people in dream jobs
You are fully aligned with our values
You have a strong knowledge of industry-standard localization tools
You have excellent written and verbal communication skills
You have strong analytical problem-solving skills
You are proactive and innovative by nature
You have strong attention to detail
You are comfortable with the ambiguity and pace of iteration of an early-stage startup
We typically expect candidates with at least 3 y. of experience in localization projects that involve language launches, software, and/or creative content localization to have the skills mentioned above. 
Bonus points if…

You have experience working in a SaaS company and a fast-growing startup
You are multilingual
