[Hiring] Project Manager @LILT (Production)

Role Description

We're looking for a Project Manager to own the day-to-day delivery of a large-scale localization program for a multinational gaming publisher. This customer ships localized content across dozens of titles, platforms and languages, and the program spans in-game text, marketing and UA content, cinematics and trailers, and supporting print and digital collateral.

You'll act as a key operational point of contact for the account, coordinating linguists, DTP and video specialists, and internal stakeholders to hit release-critical deadlines. This is a hands-on delivery role for someone who has managed localization programs for a game publisher before and is comfortable owning complex, multi-workstream schedules under tight deadlines.

Qualifications

• Proven experience as a project manager in the localization industry, with direct experience delivering programs for a game publisher or games customer.
• Hands-on experience managing transcreation, subtitling, DTP, video rendering/editing and linguistic/mechanical QC workflows concurrently across multiple languages.
• Strong working knowledge of AEM, Workfront and Jira (or directly comparable content, work-management and issue-tracking tools).
• Practical experience with AI localization tools and translation memory / terminology management.
• Confident user of Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Slides) for reporting, tracking and customer-facing documentation.
• Experience managing high-volume, high-stakes customer accounts, with excellent stakeholder management across internal teams, linguists and customer contacts.
• Comfort with budget tracking and vendor/linguist management as part of day-to-day delivery.
• Strong organizational skills and comfort managing multiple concurrent, deadline-driven workstreams.
• Clear, confident written and verbal communication in English.

Requirements

• Own end-to-end delivery of localization projects for the account, from initial quoting and scoping through scheduling, resourcing and budget tracking, to final delivery and invoicing, across multiple concurrent titles and languages.
• Manage transcreation and marketing localization workstreams, ensuring tone, intent and cultural nuance are preserved for user acquisition, marketing and in-game copy.
• Coordinate subtitling, voiceover (AI and human) and video localization for trailers, cinematics and other video assets, including timing, rendering, editing and final QC of localized video files.
• Oversee desktop publishing (DTP) workflows for localized packaging, manuals and marketing collateral, working with DTP specialists to maintain layout fidelity across languages.
• Run thorough linguistic and mechanical/functional QC on every project, tracking issues to resolution and feeding recurring themes back into style guides, glossaries and linguist onboarding.
• Act as the day-to-day customer contact for delivery matters, managing a smooth workflow from quoting through local market review to completion, surfacing risks early and running status/retrospective calls.
• Manage high-volume, high-stakes workstreams within the account, building strong customer relationships and driving overall customer satisfaction.
• Build and maintain project schedules and resourcing plans across Workfront, Google sheets, and JIRA.
• Manage content intake, review cycles and publishing workflows in coordination with the customer's content and web teams.
• Use LILT-proprietary AI localization tools and build/maintain customer-specific translation memories and termbases to maintain consistency and leverage across projects.
• Support vendor management, including onboarding and evaluating linguists and other specialist vendors for the account.
• Support other project managers on the account, sharing best practice on production workflows and quality standards.

Benefits

• The opportunity to work on high-profile, high-visibility programs for a global brand.
• A remote-first, collaborative team culture spanning EMEA and beyond.
• Exposure to cutting-edge AI-powered localization technology.
• AI is changing how the world communicates — and LILT is leading that transformation.
• LILT's mission is to make the world's information available to everyone, no matter the language they speak.
• Join our global community who thrive on innovation and excellence.
• Earn money. Have fun. Advance human knowledge. Work on diverse projects from anywhere, any time you want.
