Localization Program Manager, CreatorGlobal

About the role

The Localization Program Manager is responsible for owning the full project localization lifecycle from initial scoping and vendor engagement to production coordination, delivery, and quality sign-off. This role serves as the primary bridge between internal production teams and the studio ecosystem, ensuring projects are scoped accurately, approached from a global lens, and executed on time without sacrificing quality.

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end lifecycle of localized asset production across multiple simultaneous workstreams — keeping timelines tight, stakeholders informed, and blockers resolved.
• Act as the connective tissue between CreatorGlobal’s internal production teams and our localization partners, overseeing handoffs, revision cycles, and final deliverables to ensure every output meets required specifications.
• Build and steward CreatorGlobal’s network of external localization vendors and studio partners — managing onboarding, developing long-term strategic relationships, and securing the terms and capacity we need to scale.
• Work cross-functionally with production, strategy, and operational leadership to keep programs aligned with business priorities, while continuously improving the SOPs and workflows.

Requirements

• 4–6 years in program or project management, localization operations, or a closely related production management role.
• Demonstrated experience of end-to-end production workflow ownership in a fast-paced and high-volume media/content environment.
• Proven track record of external vendor relationship management, including scoping, quotation, negotiation, and performance management.
• Strong cross-functional communication skills — comfortable working across production, strategy, and creative teams in a fully remote, asynchronous environment.
• Experience using Monday.com (or similar project management tools) to manage timelines, workflows, and cross-functional coordination.
• Experience building and maintaining operational systems and documentation (project management tools, SOPs, rate cards, etc.).

Qualifications

• Experience in media localization, international content production, or post-production workflows (especially for YouTube, Amazon, or other streaming platforms).
• Familiarity with localization asset types including dubbing, subtitling, and adapted creative assets — even if not hands-on.
• Experience managing and coordinating with post-production agencies or distributed freelance teams.
• Proficiency in DaVinci Resolve and/or Adobe Premiere Pro for post-production workflows.

Skills

• Strong organizational and project management skills.
• Excellent communication and collaboration abilities.
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Knowledge of localization processes and asset types.
• Experience with project management tools such as Monday.com.

Benefits

• Competitive salary.
• Generous medical, dental, vision, and company-paid life insurance.
• Company contributions to employee Health Savings Accounts (HSA).
• 401(k) plan with safe harbor company-matching.
• Flexible vacation policy and paid company holidays.
• Company-provided technology package.
• Relocation assistance where applicable, including travel and company-provided housing for the first 90 days.
