Project Manager, Gaming Localization Production

About This Opportunity

Our talent team is representing a confidential client in the gaming localization space. We're seeking a Project Manager to own the operational delivery of a large-scale, multi-language localization program for a global gaming publisher. This role coordinates in-game text, marketing content, cinematics, trailers, and supporting collateral across dozens of titles and platforms.

You'll serve as the primary point of contact for day-to-day account operations, managing linguists, desktop publishing specialists, video vendors, and internal stakeholders to meet release-critical deadlines. This is a hands-on delivery position for someone with proven experience managing localization programs in the gaming industry.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end delivery of localization projects from quoting and scoping through scheduling, resourcing, budget tracking, delivery, and invoicing across multiple concurrent titles and languages
• Manage transcreation and marketing localization workstreams, preserving tone, intent, and cultural nuance for user acquisition, marketing, and in-game copy
• Coordinate subtitling, voiceover (AI and human), and video localization for trailers and cinematics, including timing, rendering, editing, and final QC of localized video files
• Oversee desktop publishing workflows for localized packaging, manuals, and marketing materials, maintaining layout fidelity across languages
• Run thorough linguistic and functional QC on every project, tracking issues to resolution and feeding insights back into style guides, glossaries, and vendor onboarding
• Act as day-to-day customer contact for delivery matters, managing workflows from quoting through local market review, surfacing risks early and running status and retrospective calls
• Build and maintain project schedules and resourcing plans using work management platforms and spreadsheets
• Manage content intake, review cycles, and publishing workflows in coordination with customer content and web teams
• Use AI localization tools and maintain translation memories and termbases to ensure consistency and leverage across projects
• Support vendor management, including onboarding and evaluating linguists and specialist vendors
• Collaborate with other project managers on the account, sharing best practices on production workflows and quality standards

What We're Looking For

Required:

• Proven experience as a project manager in the localization industry with direct experience delivering programs for a game publisher or gaming client
• Hands-on experience managing transcreation, subtitling, desktop publishing, video rendering/editing, and linguistic/mechanical QC workflows concurrently across multiple languages
• Strong working knowledge of content management systems, work management platforms, and issue-tracking tools (experience with systems like AEM, Workfront, and Jira is highly valued)
• Practical experience with AI localization tools and translation memory/terminology management
• Confident user of cloud-based productivity suites for reporting, tracking, and customer-facing documentation
• Experience managing high-volume, high-stakes customer accounts with excellent stakeholder management across internal teams, linguists, and customer contacts
• Comfort with budget tracking and vendor/linguist management as part of day-to-day delivery
• Strong organizational skills and comfort managing multiple concurrent, deadline-driven workstreams
• Clear, confident written and verbal communication in English

Preferred:

• Experience with additional localization or workflow platforms
• Familiarity with quality frameworks such as ISO 17100 or ISO 9001
• Experience working with global, multi-time-zone teams
