About the role:

Our client is 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 a 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 to our customers.

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.

Job Responsibilities:

Translate, localize, and edit copy for various campaigns and products that help us maintain the branded voice across various markets
