Alconost helps digital products speak the language of their users. We localize software, games, apps, and websites into 120+ languages, and we're looking for a Localization Manager to join our growing team. This is a remote, full-time role on a contractor basis for someone who wants to learn fast, grow hard, and make a global impact.
Who We're Looking For
You're probably early in your career - maybe a freelance translator, linguist, or language tutor who's also a tech enthusiast. You love languages, but you also have a technical mind and great communication skills. You're good with spreadsheets, maybe familiar with Python or JavaScript, but chose not to become a full-time software developer. You're curious about AI tools, and you believe localization is more than translation - it's a bridge between cultures.
We'd love to meet you if you:
- Have some experience in translation or game localization
- Are fluent in English, with a second foreign language
- Have international work/study experience
- Are organized, responsible, and meet deadlines
- Know how to work with spreadsheets (Excel/Google Sheets)
- Have some technical background (basic scripting, CAT tools, TMS, etc.)
- Use or are curious about AI tools and LLMs
- Want to grow into a professional Localization Project Manager in 3-6 months
What You'll Do
- Manage localization projects for global clients - apps, games, websites, software
- Work with translators and editors from all over the world
- Communicate with clients in different time zones
- Monitor deadlines, quality, and budgets
- Master and implement localization tools (TMS, AI workflows)
- Support continuous improvement of our AI-enhanced localization process
What You'll Get
- Training and mentorship to grow from junior to pro in localization project management
- Flexible remote work - you manage your time (as long as deadlines are met)
- The chance to make a real impact: your work will bring apps and games to millions worldwide
- A supportive, smart, no-BS, inclusive team culture
- No time tracking, no micromanagement - just ownership and results
- A future in one of the most meaningful jobs in tech (~10,000 professionals worldwide)
Why This Role Matters
Localization managers are the hidden heroes behind global launches. Sometimes, your mom will open an app and you'll say: "I was behind its translation." If you stay with us, you'll grow into a senior role or operations lead. If you move on, you'll be in demand at any product company with global ambitions.
