LIEU : Montreal

ENTREPRISE : 2K (Take-Two Interactive)

TYPE : Full Time Employee/Onsite

At 2K, we create some of the most iconic and culture-shaping video games in entertainment, including NBA® 2K, one of the top-selling franchises in the world, and legendary titles like BioShock®, Borderlands®, Mafia, Sid Meier’s Civilization®, and XCOM®, as well as fan favorites WWE® 2K, TopSpin®, and PGA TOUR® 2K. We build unforgettable experiences by pushing the boundaries of creativity, authenticity and innovation across every genre.

Our portfolio is brought to life by some of the most influential game development studios in the world. Visual Concepts, Firaxis Games, Hangar 13, Cat Daddy Games, 31st Union, Cloud Chamber, Gearbox, HB Studios, and 2K SportsLab create world-class experiences across platforms.

But what truly powers 2K is our people.

We believe the best ideas come from teams that feel empowered, supported, and inspired. As an equal opportunity employer, we are committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive workplace where people are encouraged to come as they are and do their best work.

What We Need

As part of its evolving localization strategy, the Localization Coordination function serves as the operational bridge between Embedded Localization Production, Content Localization (CLOC), and Linguistic QA (LQA). We are looking for a seasoned professional to join the team as a Localization Coordinator. In this role, you will drive the connection between developers, publishing teams, and localization stakeholders by owning the implementation of localization solutions and representing the localization effort to North American game teams for your native language.

This is a unique opportunity to champion your native language at an upstream intersection of content, tools, culture, and growth, ensuring localized experiences are delivered with mastery and technical accuracy, while driving the evolution of the Global Localization department.

What You'll Do

• Drive logistical and operational support for local and regional localization stakeholders, ensuring high-level alignment across production, QA, and development partners.
• Manage and optimize asset flow tracking and coordination across multiple tools, serving as the primary point of contact for these activities to development teams during their standard working hours.
• Own language-related internationalization efforts by proactively identifying linguistic risks, recommending culturally appropriate content, and collaborating with developers to ensure a localization-friendly foundation.
• Direct tooling and pipeline support, including the creation of process documentation, oversight of feature testing, and synthesized feedback collection.
• Ensure certification and compliance readiness by verifying that localization deliverables, specifically for Simplified Chinese, consistently meet platform requirements and regional standards.
• Lead coordination between internal teams and external vendors to maintain high-quality delivery standards.
• Leverage expert-level native language knowledge to resolve complex linguistic questions, pre-emptively flagging culturally sensitive issues to support LQA teams.
• Initiate and lead internal projects to enhance localization consistency, automation, and scalability across the organization.

What Will Make You A Great Fit

• 4–6+ years of experience in localization, production coordination, QA, or related fields in gaming or media.
• Expert organizational and communication skills; able to independently manage complex tasks across diverse stakeholders and platforms.
• Mastery of localization tools and workflows (e.g., TMS, CAT tools, Jira, CMS, Confluence, etc.) with the ability to optimize these systems.
• Advanced understanding of internationalization principles and/or platform certification processes.
• Native or near-native fluency in Simplified Chinese with strong English communication skills.
• A proactive approach to problem-solving with a focus on identifying potential issues before they impact the pipeline.

Why Join Us?

As a Localization Coordinator, you’ll operate at the intersection of language, production, and technology, ensuring your supported language is represented with precision and care. This is a chance to apply your growing expertise to real-world content while contributing to scalable, global localization success under the Global Loc 2.0 framework.
