• Ensure smooth and scalable localization handoffs and deliveries with the localization vendor and maintain regular communications with them to ensure that both sides are set up for success on an ongoing basis.
• Analyze current pain points in workflows, identify gaps or inefficiencies, actively provide recommendations for scalable solutions, and document localization workflows.
• Maintain website's linguistic QA program by partnering with vendors and creating translation-quality scorecards for reporting to stakeholders.
• Educate and guide engineers, product managers, and designers on internationalization and localization best practices.
• Work with one or more internal teams who own Pinterest websites and content verticals.
• Localize content, understand requirements, and craft scalable solutions for global markets and for the localization workflow.

What we’re looking for :
