Job description

This role runs translation programs for drug, biotech, device and research clients, covering quoting, workflow design, quality checks and audit readiness. A strong candidate has years of hands on localization program management in regulated life sciences settings and can handle several stakeholders and deadlines at once. Careful documentation, clear communication and steady problem solving matter more than flash.

How it fits the AI era

Machine translation and automated workflows now handle much of the routine volume, so the program manager spends more time on exceptions, quality checks and compliance. Judgement about regulated content, audit trails and client expectations stays human. The role sits where automation meets strict life sciences rules, and the person keeps both in balance.

How it builds AI experience

Working here means seeing how brand aware machine translation and automated workflows behave on clinical and patient materials, and where human review is still required. That builds practical skill in judging machine output, designing review steps and keeping records that pass audits. Someone new to this can prepare by learning how translation quality is measured and how regulated content is reviewed.

Worth showing

• GxP risk and CAPA
• Linguistic validation workflows
• Audit ready documentation
• Client and SLA communication
