Job Description

We are looking for a Localisation Specialist with proficiency in Simplified Chinese to join our global localisation team.

  • Collaborate with the other localisation team members to promote synergies between markets or refine the tools, workflows or processes in use in the team

  • Evaluate and report on vendor quality for a continuous improvement cycle 

  • Perform QA and liaise with marketers, product owners, engineers and other stakeholders to investigate, fix or overcome issues and challenges

  • Define and ensure a consistent tone of voice —everywhere from web pages to customer support emails

  • Identify and address growth opportunities with Simplified Chinese audiences

  • Establish and maintain language glossary, guidelines and terminology for other language stakeholders and teams, and keep it accessible
