This role is designed for a specialist who can quickly assess our current localization
architecture, evaluate modern Machine Translation and AI-driven solutions, and guide our
Business and Engineering teams toward the right technology decisions and
implementation approach for Client's scale.
You will work hands-on with cross-functional partners to analyze existing workflows,
identify opportunities for automation and modernization, and help define how emerging
language technologies (MT, LLMs, post-editing frameworks, quality evaluation methods)
can be eOectively integrated into orchestration platforms and Client Retail content
systems.

during the design and development of technology solutions.
• Expertise writing detailed business requirements and user stories intended for
software engineering and UI/UX design, with a proven track record of shipping localization
translation management, content management or enterprise-grade tools.
• Success collaborating with software engineering partners to reduce technical debt,
introduce new technologies, and migrate to new architectures within a complex enterprise
landscape.
• Experience planning, managing, and leading sophisticated technology projects,
guiding teams through ambiguity and issue resolution throughout the entire development
lifecycle.

management systems and localization tools. Align this roadmap with business goals, user
needs, and engineering priorities to reduce time-to-market for global content.
• Lead the exploration and validation of new language translation technologies.
Assess tools that oOer better orchestration, visual context for translators, and seamless
integration with our upstream content repositories.
• Lead project execution through the entire lifecycle, ensuring coordination of
