Descripción de la vacante

Welocalize is seeking an On-Site Testing Project Manager for its Barcelona office to oversee the day-to-day execution of AI evaluation and functional testing projects. You will coordinate a local team of linguistic testers, manage client devices, and ensure testing readiness, quality, and secure operations on site.

The role requires hands-on testing experience, strong coordination skills, and a proactive approach to risk and issue management, with collaboration across globally distributed teams.

Formación

• Two years of experience in linguistic testing, linguistic review, software or product testing, editing, quality control, or quality engineering.
• Experience with AI evaluation is a plus; understanding of the concept matters more than detailed tool knowledge.
• Comfortable working with iOS and Android devices (pairing, companion apps, updates, resets) and learning new hardware such as smart glasses; training on client platforms will be provided.
• Fluent English (writing, speaking, reading, listening) for communication with all stakeholders and testers, including active participation in live and virtual meetings.
• Local language (Spanish) fluency is a benefit but not required.
• Availability for occasional check-ins across time zones with US based team and the client; extensive overlap is not expected.
• Willing to sign an NDA and complete a background check (required for device issuance).

Responsabilidades

• Schedule local testers and room usage within the scope and timeline provided for each project.
• Proactively identify and escalation resourcing or capacity risks.
• Serve as the on-site point of contact for the client and coordinate device handling, including receiving, inventorying, issuing, and retrieving client devices.
• Maintain accurate device assignment records, ensure secure storage and cleaning in accordance with established standards and complete basic device setup following documented procedures.
• Ensure the testing environment and processes are ready before work begins, including an enclosed, audio-isolated space for voice-based evaluation.
• Onboard and train local testers on project-specific instructions and client tools in advance of the start date and as scope changes.
• Update and maintain tester work instructions, developing new instructions as needed for new tasks.
• Flag gaps or ambiguities rather than leaving them unresolved.
• Provide escalation support to testers, including device and tool troubleshooting.
• Perform bug triage: review defect reports and evaluation output, confirm testers are working to requirements, and take immediate corrective action on nonconformances.
• Perform smoke testing and pre-testing before full test cycles begin.
• Maintain trackers and dashboards to manage production.
• Provide regular status updates and prepare end-of-testing reports as required by each project.
• Escalate production issues and blockers directly to client contacts.
• Escalates any resource-related issues to the Testing Leader.
• Act as the local security representative, ensuring adherence to NDA requirements, device custody procedures, and confidentiality standards in a shared office environment.
