About the Role

Twitch is a globally renowned brand with a dedicated following across the world. Localization is at the heart of our mission to connect creators with their communities on a global scale.

We're looking for a Localization Program Manager to own the operational core of our localization program - vendor coordination, content workflows, quality processes, and launch execution across 29 languages. You'll join a lean team of senior professionals who operate as strategic partners to Product and Engineering and focus on bringing global users a native experience. Strong performers can take on increasing scope over time.

You can work from San Francisco, CA; Irvine, CA; Seattle, WA.

You Will:
  • Manage end-to-end localization into 29 languages, including launches that require creative asset localization, terminology building and testing
  • Monitor continuous localization operations while identifying and implementing opportunities for improvement. 
  • Run and evolve localization quality processes: coordinate testing, build LQA workflows and propose improvements based on data. 
  • Monitor and improve translation quality output by developing and maintaining linguistic assets
  • Influence upstream content operations for seamless, context-rich translations. 
  • Build localization metrics reports (turnaround, quality scores, cost per word) 
You Have:
  • 5+ years of localization project/program management experience
  • Experience managing stakeholders and cross-organizational dependencies
  • Experience with enterprise localization tools, translation management platforms  (Smartling, memoQ, Phrase or similar), and developing and maintaining linguistic assets and workflows
  • Excellent verbal, written, and interpersonal communication
  • Native speaker of one additional language
Bonus Points
  • An analytical mindset, with the ability to visualize data, connect the dots, and turn localization insights into decisions that drive business and tooling outcomes.
  • Native French, German, Chinese or Japanese preferred
  • Experience designing and implementing scalable localization processes and technical automation
  • Track record of building localization programs from scratch or through transformation
  • Experience evaluating MT/LLM quality in production workflows
  • Solid understanding of localization metrics and data manipulation
Perks
  • Medical, Dental, Vision & Disability Insurance
  • 401(k)
  • Maternity & Parental Leave
  • Flexible PTO
  • Amazon Employee Discount
