About the role
- Own and lead the localisation strategy and execution across the full content spectrum — including product UI, marketing, and video-based content (e.g., workout videos, audio meditations/walks)
- Build and refine scalable localisation workflows — including tools, QA processes, content prep, and post-production performance
- Guide localisation for video content, including subtitling, dubbing/voiceover, cultural adaptation of scripts, and in-video graphics/text using AI
- Collaborate closely with producers, editors, and motion designers to ensure localisation is considered early in video planning and production
- Manage a small but growing team of localisers, freelancers, or vendors — mentoring them, reviewing work, and ensuring alignment on tone, brand, and execution
- Select and manage localisation platforms and oversee vendor relationships across translation, voiceover, and post-production
- Develop and maintain core assets such as tone of voice guides, glossaries, style guides, and localisation toolkits
- Use data to measure localisation quality and performance — demonstrating impact on user engagement, retention, and satisfaction across markets
- Act as an internal advocate for localisation — educating teams on best practices and encouraging early integration in product and content workflows
Requirements
- 7+ years of localisation or internationalisation experience, ideally within a consumer-facing app, media company, or content-heavy digital product
- Deep experience localising video content at scale
- Strong leadership skills with experience guiding small teams and collaborating across disciplines (product, design, video, growth)
- Familiarity with localisation platforms and workflows (e.g., Lokalise, Phrase, Smartling) and video localisation tools or partners
- A user-centric mindset with a sharp editorial eye — you understand the importance of nuance, tone, and cultural sensitivity
- Data-literate: comfortable setting KPIs, interpreting metrics, and using insights to improve content effectiveness
- Excellent communication and project management skills: highly organised, clear, and collaborative
- Fluency in English required; fluency in one or more additional languages is a strong plus.
