LEVEL UP AND START A NEW ADVENTURE!

Do you speak the language of games? We’re on the hunt for a talented Localization Project Lead to join our in-house team in Berlin, someone who loves games as much as they love leading teams, shaping processes, and delivering top-tier localization for some of the most exciting AAA titles in the industry.

In this role, you’ll own the localization process from A to Z, lead a small team, and collaborate closely with clients and internal departments to ensure each project hits the mark in every language. If you're proactive, detail-loving, and eager to make an impact, we’d love to hear from you.

• Monitor timelines, budgets, and quality, ensuring smooth delivery across all languages.
• Oversee internal and external linguist assignments, maintaining consistency in tone, terminology, and style.
• Drive kick-off, status, and retrospective meetings to keep things sharp and evolving.

Client & Cross-Team Collaboration

• Act as the main point of contact for our clients, communicating updates, handling feedback, and managing expectations with clarity and confidence.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Language Specialists, Audio, Engineering, and Lead Testers to align efforts and elevate outcomes.
• Represent Altagram in meetings and contribute to growing client relationships.

Process & Quality

• At least 4 years of experience managing localization projects, preferably in games, ideally with AAA clients.
• Strong grasp of full-cycle localization: from text and audio to QA and delivery.
• Confidence in handling client calls, managing feedback, and keeping many plates spinning.
