Job Description

Content & Localization Manager overseeing global content operations for a leading travel and lifestyle benefits company. Driving strategy and execution for localisation and content management across markets.

Responsibilities:

  • Set the strategic vision for localisation and content management, defining best practices that balance quality, speed, and scalability.
  • Act as the key communication bridge between internal teams (product, marketing, operations, engineering) and external vendors, ensuring alignment, transparency, and stakeholder buy-in.
  • Manage and optimise localisation workflows — from project scoping to delivery — across all content types and languages.
  • Oversee translation management systems (we use XTM) and related tools (Rigi) to streamline and improve the localisation process.
  • Handle large volumes of data from internal multilingual content systems, reporting on performance, efficiency, and quality metrics.
  • Develop and maintain linguistic assets, including glossaries, tone of voice, and style guides across markets.
  • Lead and mentor internal and external localisation contributors, ensuring consistent standards and performance.
  • Champion process improvement and automation, exploring opportunities for platform integrations and future system enhancements.
  • Report regularly on localisation progress, tracking budgets, spend, and quality — providing actionable insights to leadership and stakeholders.
  • Drive alignment and advocacy, promoting the value of localisation and content excellence across the organisation.
  • Vendor management: oversee relationships with multiple localisation vendors and freelancers, ensuring quality, consistency, and efficiency; you’ll also have the opportunity to influence vendor selection, performance evaluation, and strategic partnerships as the localisation function evolves.

Requirements:

  • 10+ years in experience in a localisation management, program, or project leadership role.
  • Strong understanding of translation management systems (TMS) — XTM experience highly desirable — and familiarity with Rigi or similar visual localisation tools.
  • Demonstrated ability to set strategy and execute — comfortable both leading at the operational level and influencing at the strategic level.
  • Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills; capable of aligning diverse teams around shared goals.
  • Experience handling large-scale multilingual data and maintaining financial oversight (budgets, POs, invoices).
  • Deep understanding of localisation best practices, language quality management, and global content workflows.
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and autonomy, self-driven, and proactive in defining new approaches.
  • Experience with platform integrations and system-level thinking is a plus.
  • Fluency in English required; Chinese language skills a strong bonus but not mandatory. ▪ Knowledge and fluency in other languages are always a plus.

Benefits:

  • You’ll be joining at a pivotal moment with the opportunity to shape the future of global content at Our Company.
  • This role combines strategic influence with hands-on execution, giving you the space to innovate, build new frameworks, and leave a tangible mark on how we communicate across the world.
