Job description

Join the team building an AI-first company. Hostinger serves more than 5.5 million clients across 150 countries, but we're still excited about what we're creating next.

AI is changing how we build products, support customers, work together, and solve problems. It helps us move faster, spend less time on repetitive work, and focus on bigger ideas.

If you want your work to influence both what we build and how we build it, we'd like to meet you.

Our culture:

Guided by 10 company principles.

Your role at Hostinger

Hostinger reaches 5,5 million+ clients across 150 countries. Localization isn’t a translation pipeline anymore, but a growth lever. At this scale, every market requires precision, cultural depth and a team that can execute at speed - we need someone to own it.

As Senior Localization Team Lead, you’ll coach a big team of in-house specialists, manage an on-demand freelancer network and help shape how Hostinger communicates in every market it enters. That means being as comfortable navigating never-ending changes as you are running a performance conversation grounded in quality data and growth perspectives.

This is a people-first, strategy-forward role: high ownership, high autonomy, real impact on how millions of people experience Hostinger.

Your day-to-day

• Lead, coach and develop a team of Localization Specialists, creating an environment of psychological safety, ownership and continuous growth through regular feedback, performance conversations and data-driven quality improvements.


• Manage and scale our external freelancer network, owning the full lifecycle from sourcing and onboarding to quality standards, communication and offboarding.


• Translate business goals into localization execution plans, bringing market insights into planning and acting as the bridge between Localization Specialists and Localization Project Managers.


• Validate strategic priorities against real team capacity and market realities, ensuring plans are both ambitious and operationally feasible.


• Take ownership of complex localization challenges without established playbooks, including new market launches, AI-human review models and other strategic initiatives.


• Identify recurring quality and delivery issues, uncover root causes and implement sustainable process improvements together with cross-functional partners.


• Investigate performance anomalies, drive resolutions end-to-end and protect the team from unnecessary operational noise.


• Evaluate, pilot and implement AI and localization technologies, partnering with language owners to build feedback loops that improve quality, efficiency and localization outcomes across all markets.

What will help you succeed

• 5+ years in localization, with at least 3 in a leadership role managing in-house linguists.


• Hands-on background as a translator, editor or proofreader - you understand what you’re managing, not just how to manage it.


• Demonstrated experience coordinating freelancers or external contributors across multiple markets, including onboarding and offboarding.


• Strong analytical instincts: you read quality scores, OKR trends, and delivery data, not just volume reports.


• Business-first minded: you connect localization work to business outcomes and never present a finding without a “so what”


• Fluent in the language of cross-functional stakeholders: Marketing, Product, Engineering.


• Proficient with core localization tooling: CAT tools, project management systems and AI platforms (Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude).

Nice-to-have Skills

• Experience coordinating freelancers or external contributors across multiple markets, including onboarding and offboarding.


• Experience with AI search readiness: structured data, entity optimization, or AI crawler monitoring.


• Familiarity with SurferSEO, Accuranker or localization-adjacent SEO tools.


• Background working in or alongside high-growth, multi-locale product companies.
