Founded in 2016, Glocalize, Inc. (GloZ) was created to collaborate with media and entertainment enterprises, offering expert global content localization services encompassing translation and subtitles. As the company burgeoned, its service spectrum expanded to embrace gaming, content creators, book publishers, and educational institutions. In response to the dynamic evolution of the localization market, our mission is to transform narratives and experiences into a global network. Leveraging various platforms, we have successfully translated into 190 countries, utilizing a network of translators in 210 cities and providing localization in 53 languages. Our adept team possesses extensive specialized knowledge and employs industry-leading software to ensure the delivery of top-notch work. Noteworthy clients, including prominent media platforms like Netflix and BuzzFeed, attest to our commitment to excellence. Presently, we have established offices in the U.S., South Korea, Singapore, and Japan, strategically positioning ourselves to meet the diverse needs of our global clientele.


In today's globalized media landscape, the demand for translation and localization services has surged, emphasising the indispensable role of human translators and interpreters. Despite technological advancements, professionals are crucial in conveying original intent and messages effectively across diverse cultures. Reflecting this need, GloZ is seeking a Localization Project Manager to plan and execute translation and localization for media and entertainment companies. He or she will report to the Localization Operations Manager.


Specifically, the Localization Project Manager will perform the following duties:


  • Initiate communication with clients to determine the scope of the project and language translation, establish a time frame, collect documents, and establish a budget.
  • Analyze source material for actual subject matter, content, volume, target languages, matches and repetitions from the translation memory (linguistic database), formatting requirements, target audience, and anticipated turnaround time.
  • Determine project subject matter, content, language selection, formatting requirements, and platform choice
  • Generate a project quote for client approval that stays within budget, establish a project deadline, and plan the project schedule to meet said deadline.
  • Review and edit translations of the source text and content into the target language.
  • Ensure that phrases and terms are translated correctly keeping idioms and cultural bound concepts in mind to retain original ideas or meaning when localizing content.
  • Check that translations maintain the tone of the original language as well as cultural knowledge and references.
  • Review and edit the translation and localization work of other translators to ensure that translations and localizations best communicate the intended content or message of the source material.
  • Analyze source text for leveraged segments and glossary to create a client-specific (and sometimes project-specific) glossary of frequently translated acronyms & industry terminology.
  • Update terminology database for standardized use across the company, increase productivity, and reduce risk of error.
  • Identify the root causes of the translation and localization issues and solve the problems during the projects in order to determine the best course of action and relay resolution action plans to all involved parties.


Minimum Requirements:

    • Master’s degree in translation and interpretation, or another closely related field.
    • 2 years of work experience performing translation and localization project management at a translation company.
    • Native or bilingual proficiency in Chinese.
