Job Description

We’re looking for a Localisation Project Manager to join our growing Localisation team in Tallinn.

Our team manages localisation projects across varied content types and language sets, ensuring high-quality, scalable experiences for our global audience. You will run end-to-end localisation initiatives, working closely with cross-functional stakeholders, creative teams, and external vendors while driving automation and MT/AI workflows to keep our operations fast, fail-proof, and efficient.

Your Mission

In this role, your primary focus will be running end-to-end localisation projects within established time, cost, and quality frameworks. You will oversee requests across key channels – including our Help Centre, Notification Service, Product UI, and Marketing campaigns – while helping refine internal operations and methodologies for scale.

What You’ll Be Doing

• End-to-End Project Management: Plan, manage, and execute localisation projects across any content type and language set – from initial intake and scoping to QA, release, and post-delivery review.

• Stakeholder Management: Build trust and manage expectations across cross-functional teams. Communicate project status, risk logs, and quarterly pipelines, while identifying opportunities to refine workflows to optimise timelines, quality, or costs.

• Localisation Best Practices: Promote optimal workflows, CAT/TMS tooling, and industry best practices across stakeholders and project teams. Drive continuous process improvement to reduce manual intervention and build scalable operations.

• Budget & Cost Control: Help build quarterly spend forecasts, monitor outsource spend against actuals, and proactively predict and explain budget variances.

• Vendor Operations: Lead day-to-day management of external partners (LSPs and freelancers), regularly tracking quality standards, SLAs, timeliness, rate cards, and invoicing.

• Operational Collaboration: Partner with Localisation Managers to refine internal workflows, documentation, and operational standards.

• Mentorship: Optionally mentor junior Localisation Coordinators to level up their understanding of complex project workflows, stakeholder management, and vendor operations.

About You

• Localisation Experience:2+ years of project or program management experience delivering cross-functional, end-to-end client-side localisation initiatives (in tech, fintech, or digital product environments).

• Tooling & MT/AI Expertise: Solid hands-on experience using Translation Management Systems / CAT tools (e.g., Crowdin, Phrase, XTM, Smartling) and integrating MT/AI workflows with human review.

• Stakeholder & Vendor Ops: Proven track record managing external vendors (LSPs, freelancers) and collaborating with cross-functional internal stakeholders (Product, Marketing, Engineering, Legal).

• High-Pressure Execution: Ability to prioritize, flex, and adapt quickly in a fast-paced environment with competing deadlines, changing scopes, and varied content types (UI strings, emails, marketing copy, legal text).

• Autonomy & Ambiguity: Comfortable working with minimal supervision, dealing with ambiguity, and influencing decisions through clear communication and trust-building.

• Cultural Sensitivity: Deep appreciation of linguistic nuances, internationalisation requirements (variables, ICU plurals, RTL), and cultural sensitivities across markets.

• Right to Work in Estonia: You are currently based in Estonia and hold a valid work permit.

Some Extra Hints That Would Be Great (Nice-to-Haves)

• Experience managing localisation specifically for Product UI and Marketing content in a financial or tech company.

• Experience with CRM integrations, Git, Figma connectors, or continuous localisation setups.

• Industry certifications such as PMP, Prince2, or Agile/Scrum.

What We Offer

• Competitive Salary: €3,600 – €4,700 gross monthly (depending on your skills and experience)

• Equity: New Hire Stock Grant.

• Growth & Impact: High-impact role in a growing global team with opportunities to launch new languages, experiment with AI tools, and shape localisation operations.

• Workplace Flexibility: Hybrid work setup from our Tallinn office
