  • Own localization requests from internal partners, coordinating intake, scoping, and execution with LSPs and external platforms to deliver localized content on time and at quality.
  • Make and communicate informed trade-offs to optimize time-to-delivery, quality, and resource allocation, using data and experience to guide decisions.
  • Partner with engineers and other localization program managers to design localization-ready features, improve tooling and workflows, and reduce risks.
