• Oversee the cultural review, transcreation, and quality control processes to guarantee accurate, high‑volume asset completion.

• Liaise with local and global teams, alongside media agencies, to agree on media formats and finalise comprehensive deliverable lists.

• Guarantee accurate, approved, and timely delivery (trafficking) of all creative assets directly to media owners.

• Maintain an expert, up‑to‑date understanding of technical specifications and media formats across both existing and emerging channels.

• Collaborate with external agencies, producers, campaign managers, and creative leads to schedule resources and keep projects moving seamlessly.

• Refine and continuously improve project management tools and workflows with a specific focus on localisation efficiency.

• 8+ years of experience in transcreation project management, localisation, and integrated production within a post‑production agency or an in‑house localisation team.

• Deep, hands‑on experience managing localisation workflows across diverse channels like TV, Radio, Online Video, Digital, Print, and Social.

• Comfortable reading, analysing, and executing delivery against complex media plans.

• Strong experience working alongside global and local stakeholders, setting clear roles and responsibilities.

• Excellent prioritisation skills with the ability to manage multiple end‑to‑end creative workflows simultaneously under tight timelines.

• Native‑level proficiency in at least one European language outside of English.

• A degree in Languages, International Studies, or a related field (though relevant hands‑on experience is just as valuable).

• Comfort with new technologies, automation tools, and an eagerness to learn and master new platforms.

We are an equal‑opportunity employer committed to building a respectful and empowering work environment for all people to freely express themselves amongst colleagues who embrace diversity in all respects. Including fresh voices and unique points of view in all aspects of our business not only creates an environment where we can all grow and thrive but also increases our potential to produce work that better represents—and resonates with—the world around us.
