Ai In Localization Recruiting Jobs in Virginia (NOW HIRING)

While our company operates exclusively on a remote basis, you must reside and have the legal right to work in the United States.

• This is a full-time, remote position. Please note that we do not engage on a B2B or contractor basis.
• We do not partner with search firms.

Partnerships are central to Lokalise's commercial strategy and represent a significant opportunity for the next stage of our growth. As Head of Partnerships, you will own the global partnerships function, reporting directly to the Chief Revenue Officer. This is a senior commercial role for someone who can shape the strategy, build the operating model, develop our most important partner relationships and turn partnerships into measurable pipeline and revenue.

Lokalise's partner ecosystem spans strategic technology platforms, cloud providers, agencies, solutions partners, and referral partners. A major opportunity lies in helping those partners see localization as a broader growth and customer experience lever, not just a translation workflow, and in helping them build services around Lokalise that create new commercial opportunities for both sides. As AI continues to reshape how customers create, manage, and scale content, we need someone who understands that shift and can help Lokalise turn it into competitive advantage through the right partner strategy.
