Translation Coordinators – Italian (TEMP)

About the role:
We are looking to bring on a few different Growth Marketing Translation Coordinators to help us with a few key functions in managing the Product, UX, and Growth Marketing translation queue. The primary goal will be to assist us in turning "first pass” automated translations into Client branded copy that conveys our tone and voice across various marketing communications (blog posts, sale emails, website banners, zings, CTAs, etc.). This role will not be about just translating copy but instead will be about taking already translated copy and helping us ensure it strongly matches the branded voice we believe presents the best version of Client to our customers. The languages we're currently looking to support in this first batch are Japanese, Portuguese (Brazilian and Portuguese dialects), and Latin American Spanish (Spain dialect predominantly but also Central and South American dialects).

Additional responsibilities will include program management of our queue, coordinating with contracted translation specialists, updating existing repositories with approved translations, and helping us build an employee facing wiki. Initially, we'll look to ensure SLAs are met and then expand operations toward supporting these additional responsibilities.

To excel in this position, we would look for someone who is comfortable working quickly to help manage our backlogs with an eye toward how we can improve. This team would serve as our local knowledge experts and partner with various business functions (UX, Product, Tech, Creative) in order to improve the experience for our end users while ensuring we meet our high bar for customer messaging. If you are comfortable working in a fast-paced, yet methodical environment where you can look to identify and implement improvements this role may be the right fit for you.

RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDE:

• Translate, localize, and edit copy for various campaigns and products that help us maintain Client's branded voice across various markets
• Identify process opportunities and gaps and coordinate with stakeholders on solutions
• Review ticket statuses and help us ensure critical tickets are handled with speed and care
• Provide health checks on your portion of the pipeline and ensure appropriate coverage is available at all times
