About
London-based project manager with 10 years of experience within the translation and localisation industry.
My main achievements over the years within the industry include, but are not limited to the following:
- The successful management of recurring and time-sensitive translation projects for a wide range of materials and file formats including instruction manuals, software help files, websites, InDesign marketing materials and other into 30 target languages or more, for a high-profile client specialised in the hearing aid industry.
- Extensive involvement in the improvement of in-house processes for the update and incorporation of reviewer-approved translations into the client's linguistic reference materials, specifically related to the use of an internal InDesign server used as an online reviewing platform for our clients. My input on these improvements related to providing valuable information to our IT experts on how the configuration of this platform affected the linguistic and project managing aspects of our work, and how it affected the use of our specialised computer-assisted translation software.
- Successfully teaching junior members of my team on the use of tools such as SDL Trados Studio, SDL Passolo or Notepad++, with the aim of familiarising them with specialised software, enabling independent work and speeding up the internal project management process and turnaround times.
I have a keen eye for detail, problem-solving, and I am confident in my ability to independently handle the full life cycle of a translation project, from initial project assessment, through communication with all stakeholders up to final quality checks.
As indicated above, in addition to my linguistic and project management skills, I also provide technical and quality assurance assistance to our in-house development, IT, and DTP departments, specifically with regards to the debugging of our in-house tools such as an in-house InDesign server as well as Sitecore and PIM connectors.
