The posting

Overview

Smartling is an AI-native translation platform that's redefining how the world's biggest brands go global — ranked #3 on Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies list. We're growing rapidly at scale and are backed by Battery Ventures, a global technology-focused investment firm. While most companies are still figuring out how to use AI, we've spent years building it into the core of our platform — and we're just getting started.

We're looking for a Localisation Project Manager (Localisation Operations Specialist) based in Ireland to join our Managed Services team. In this role, you'll own the end-to-end localisation lifecycle for a portfolio of enterprise clients, serving as both their operational point of contact and a key contributor to how our team delivers value. This is a role for someone who brings real localisation experience, thrives in a fast-paced, remote-first environment, and is energized by the challenge of balancing operational precision with strong client relationships.

You Will

  • Act as your clients' embedded localisation operations expert, serving as the primary operational point of contact and trusted advisor for assigned accounts.
  • Foster strong stakeholder relationships, navigate competing priorities, and coordinate cross-functional teams to ensure the successful execution and continuous improvement of clients' localization programs.
  • Design and optimize localisation processes within Smartling’s platform and client-preferred project management and content management tools, overseeing the end-to-end job lifecycle and tailoring configurations to each client’s unique requirements, including effective use of AI tooling where applicable.
  • Solve problems both independently and collaboratively, bringing a solutions-first mindset to client challenges and internal roadblocks.
  • Proactively drive operational excellence by identifying and implementing process improvements, documenting best practices, and leveraging automation and AI-enabled solutions to streamline workflows, enhance scalability, and improve team efficiency

You Have

  • At least 2-3 years of experience in localisation or translation project management, ideally within a managed services or agency environment
  • Solid understanding of localisation file formats, content types, and CAT/TMS tooling
  • Strong client management skills: comfortable leading calls, navigating difficult conversations, and representing the team externally
  • Proficiency with project management and reporting tools (e.g., Jira, Asana, Google Sheets, Looker, or equivalent)
  • Experience coordinating with cross-functional teams across engineering, QA, and vendor management
  • Excellent organizational and time management skills, with sharp attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities across time zones
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills

Preferred but not required

  • Hands-on experience with Smartling or other TMS platforms (such as Phrase, XTM, or MemoQ)
  • Experience supporting enterprise or SaaS clients in an operational or customer-facing role.
  • Fluency or working proficiency in a second language
  • Interest in language, technology, or global content strategy

You Are

  • Accountable. You take full ownership of your accounts, addressing issues promptly and documenting root causes and preventative actions for future improvement.
  • Customer-Focused. You understand that client deadlines and requirements are real business commitments and consistently approach them with urgency, accountability, and care.
  • Adaptable. You adjust effectively to changing scope, priorities, and unexpected client inputs without losing focus or execution quality.
  • Communicative. You proactively stay ahead of client needs by sharing status updates, surfacing risks early, and contributing insights, guidance, and best practices.
  • Process-Driven. You adhere to established processes while actively identifying opportunities to improve efficiency and consistency.

You Will Enjoy

  • Freedom 🏡- we are remote-first
  • Growth - an opportunity to learn and advance your career
  • Wealth 💰 - we offer a competitive salary
  • Wellness - company-sponsored Health insurance plan & pension plan with company matching
  • Balance - flexible PTO + 10 bank holidays! Generous parental leave
  • Culture 🤝- an energetic, value-driven, and fun culture and team spirit
  • Bonus - employee referral programs and Apple equipment

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
