We are seeking a highly organized, detail-oriented Localization Project Coordinator to support an ongoing film and television localization initiative. This role focuses on coordinating transcription and translation of international content—typically into English—while managing teams of 10–20 linguists per language. You’ll facilitate communication through Slack and other tools, monitor deadlines, troubleshoot technical issues, and ensure projects meet the quality expectations of both USTC and the client.

Excellent communication and interpersonal abilities to collaborate with clients, linguists, and internal teams.
Attention to detail and time management to deliver high-quality results under tight deadlines.
Experience ensuring consistency, accuracy, and formatting compliance across multilingual deliverables.
Strong problem-solving skills to diagnose missing segments, timing issues, or file-format problems.
Experience with Slack-based workflows, Google Suite, Excel/Sheets, or similar workplace software.
Quick learner with the flexibility to adapt to client tools, workflows, and expectations.

Ideal Qualifications (Nice to Have)

Experience working with AI-assisted transcription or translation tools (e.g., Deepdub, ElevenLabs, Whisper, Subtitle Edit, or similar).
Comfortable acting as a bridge between AI workflows and human linguists.
Proficiency with technology, project management platforms, and/or video editing software.
