Job description

The Translation People specialises in providing business to business translation and language services for its international client base through a global network of strategic partners. We are renowned for excellent customer service and our use of cutting edge technology to streamline processes, improve efficiency and lower costs. We have recently secured private equity investment which allows us to accelerate the growth of the company through strong organic growth and a buy-and-build strategy. The Translation People operates from our head office in Manchester, with additional offices in the UK, Germany and France.

We now have a new opportunity for a Project Manager with good customer service and sales skills to join our Project Management team. You’ll be assisting our Account Managers in managing a portfolio of international key clients, maintaining client relationships and further developing business with our clients. The management of translation and localisation projects from quotation stage to final invoicing is also required. The Project Manager is responsible for liaising with linguists and the production team on the client’s requirements and for providing the best and innovative solutions to the client.

We are looking for a Project Manager with English to native standard. The successful candidate should be a graduate in translation studies, modern languages or similar. Proven experience in a project manager role in the translation industry is essential. You should share our passion for language and delivering a high-quality service.

Key attributes for this post are:

• experience as project manager in the translation industry,
• organisational skills,
• a desire to exceed client expectations,
• a high level of memoQ knowledge (other CAT tools are an advantage),

You should have a professional attitude, be self motivated and able to work equally well unsupervised or as part of a team. Whilst your administrative and organisational skills are of paramount importance, your attitude and approach are of equal value. We are looking for a hardworking and conscientious individual with a positive outlook and cheerful personality; someone who is calm under pressure and who strives to deliver the best possible service to their clients.

As this role is remote, you are required to have a suitable workspace at home.
