About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Engage confidently with localization program managers, language operations leads, IT architects, and procurement stakeholders.
Create the before-and-after. Map a customer's current manual-heavy processes and fragmented localization state against a DeepL-centric future.
Design and run high-impact POCs and architecture reviews that prove translation quality, integration feasibility, and operational efficiency.
Establish and refine playbooks - discovery frameworks, architecture templates, ROI models, and automation recipes.

Requirements

What you’ll need

7-10+ years in Solution Architecture, Solution Consulting, or Technical Pre-Sales - ideally within language technology, or localization or enterprise SaaS or system integrator environment.
Strong familiarity with the modern AI and localization stacks - MCP, CLI, Claude code, TMS, Machine translation API integration patterns, Translation Memory and Glossary workflows, CMS integrations, and REST/webhook API architecture.
A workflow transformation mindset - you think in before-and-after states, can map a complex enterprise content pipeline, and know how to make the case for changing something an organization has relied on for years.
Solid understanding of the LSP model - how language service providers operate, buy, and resell MT technology.
Security and compliance fluency - comfortable discussing data residency, security posture, and governance frameworks with IT and legal audiences in regulated industries.
Strong enterprise instincts - you've navigated localization program managers, IT architects, and C-level buyers in the same deal.
Fluency in English mandatory; additional language proficiency (German, French, Spanish, Italian, or Japanese) strongly preferred given our customer base.
