Responsibilities

• Engage confidently with localization program managers, language operations leads, IT architects, and procurement stakeholders.
• Understand their content volumes, language pairs, translation management system setup, language service provider relationships, and where their current stack is failing them.
• Translate that into a clear picture of where DeepL creates the most impact.
• Create the before-and-after. Map a customer's current manual-heavy processes and fragmented localization state against a DeepL-centric future - demonstrating how processes gets streamlined and deliver efficiency and productivity gains to the business overall.
• Design and run high-impact POCs and architecture reviews that prove translation quality, integration feasibility, and operational efficiency.
• Speak authoritatively on security posture, compliance architecture, and governance to risk-averse IT and procurement audiences.

• Feed structured field insight back to Product and Engineering and turn customer challenges into roadmap influence.

Qualities we look for

• 7-10+ years in Solution Architecture, Solution Consulting, or Technical Pre-Sales - ideally within language technology, or localization or enterprise SaaS or system integrator environment.
• MC Strong familiarity with the modern AI and localization stacks - MCP, CLI, Claude code, TMS, Machine translation API integration patterns, Translation Memory and Glossary workflows, CMS integrations, and REST/webhook API architecture.
• A workflow transformation mindset - you think in before-and-after states, can map a complex enterprise content pipeline, and know how to make the case for changing something an organization has relied on for years.
• Solid understanding of the LSP model - how language service providers operate, buy, and resell MT technology.
• Security and compliance fluency - comfortable discussing data residency, security posture, and governance frameworks with IT and legal audiences in regulated industries.
• Strong enterprise instincts - you've navigated localization program managers, IT architects, and C-level buyers in the same deal. You can simplify complexity and make a platform transformation feel achievable.
