This role is all about influence! As a shared service to our customer success teams, the Welocalize community must trust that the talent programs you draft and employ will lead to consistent refinement on an account, and endlessly improve Welocalize’s brand in the eyes of our customers. If either the client or customer success teams don’t believe in our solutions, they’ll look elsewhere for help.

What you will do…

· You can look past what the client is asking for to see and understand the business drivers behind why they’re asking for it

· You will own the drafting of execution plans for new and existing clients, including financial models, resource allocation, time-zone differences, and failover options, refining them as you gather feedback from clients and internal account teams.

· You have worked with quality systems

· You have led presentations in front of important clients and senior management teams

· You have worked with teams across time-zones, and people from cultures very different from your own.

Odds and Ends…

· We offer a full suite of benefits

· We compensate well, commensurate with experience

· We offer a flexible working location with offices worldwide.

Who we are

Hey, Hindi bilingual genius, yeah, you - want to work on a super exciting creative project in London town? Welocalize London is a fun, young, hip, cool and groovy company (if we do say so ourselves) and we’re looking for awesome creative people like you!

We’re the multilingual digital marketing division based in bustling London. We’re experts in translation, transcreation, and we’re growing, so now we’re ready to adopt you into the family. We’re looking for fun people to join our transcreation team. ‘Wait,’ we hear you say, ‘what’s transcreation?’ Good question, we like you already.

Basically, we take words, phrases and documents and translate them into numerous languages – but wait, there’s more. Transcreation isn’t about straight-up translation done word-for-word and probably wrong (you’ve seen some hilarious translation fails on LadBible or BuzzFeed, right?) it’s about letting you put a spin on things. So your mad skills and unrivalled knowledge of the language and culture of your target audience can all be put proudly on show. Pretty cool, huh?

What it’s like to work here

Like we said, we are a young but global company that is growing. Our office is based in the heart of London, literally right off Oxford Street! We’re a fun, quirky, incredibly attractive, endlessly talented and fantastically modest bunch who enjoy food, BBQ’s on our office rooftop, socialising and occasional drinks! What’s not to love?!

We thrive in a fast-paced busy environment and the way we work doesn’t suit everyone – strictly no breathing down the back of necks here. But if freedom, autonomy, and life-affirming, head-scratching professional challenges rock your world, we could be a match made in heaven. (We also have a snooker table, win.)

A bit about the job…

We are looking for bi-lingual unicorns to work on a fun AI application for a global client. If you are a Hindi native level speaker with experience in translation and localization, then we are searching for you.

A day in the life:

· Wake up, can’t wait to get to work, help yourself to our cereal cupboard, fresh fruit and coffee pots

· See your vision, create your vision – don’t let your dreams be dreams

· Write, write, write - demonstrate the skill and talent we know you have

· We like quality, so should you, everything you do should be the best work you’ve ever done

· Deliver awesome work, but also help the client come up with ideas for creative new plans

· Collaborate (and listen) we’re a friendly bunch, and our clients are too, you’ll need to be a great communicator to do this job well

· Understanding what the client wants, and making sure you make it happen

· Receiving feedback and using it to grow and improve as a lead linguist

What you’ll need

· Ability to think creatively and translate ideas into copy

· Outstanding communication skills in English, both written and verbal – we love a good chat!

· Native speaker of one of the languages listed above
