This role is based in London and candidates must have the existing right to work in the UK. Taskrabbit is a hybrid company, with employees working 2 days per week in our dedicated office space in Central London (Soho).
The Globalization team sits within the Product organization and ensures the Taskrabbit experience is fully localized and culturally resonant across all our international markets: Canada, the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, and Italy. We are growth partners and brand guardians for Marketing, Product, Partnerships, and Tasker Operations, among many other departments, elevating brand recognition and unlocking net revenue everywhere.
We are seeking an experienced Senior Localization Specialist to join the team, managing all localization needs with expertise on the Italian locale. In this role, you will balance global localization project management across all markets, including high-touch, complex requests outside our automated pipeline, with full ownership of your language. You will be a strategic architect of our international presence: serving as the cultural bridge between our global product and the Italian market, ensuring our mission to transform lives feels assolutamente autentica, and collaborating with the wider Italian team to bring a strategy to life. You will coordinate translation work with our dedicated external agencies and contractors, and you will also adapt, proofread, edit, or transcreate content. Ideally, you will also contribute creatively to content development by writing original copy.
You will own the evolution of our linguistic assets with the rest of the Globalization team, including glossaries, style guides, but also multilingual guidelines and resources used by all departments. As an internal consultant, you will support stakeholders with expert guidance on cultural nuances and globalization best practices across all territories.
As part of our small but mighty international team, you will enjoy the autonomy to truly shape your role while exploring and implementing innovative tech solutions. Taskrabbit is a data-driven and values-driven company; your work will have a direct impact on the progress of our business and the lives of the communities we serve across all our markets.
