Job Description: -
Product Manager, Language Technology & Localization Systems
Retail Technology

We are seeking an experienced Product Manager with deep expertise in modern localization and language technologies to drive the evolution of our content and translation ecosystem. This role is ideal for a specialist who can quickly assess current localization architecture, evaluate modern Machine Translation and AI-driven solutions, and guide Business and Engineering teams toward the right technology decisions at enterprise scale.
You will work hands-on with cross-functional teams to analyze existing workflows, identify modernization opportunities, and define how emerging language technologies (MT, LLMs, post-editing frameworks, quality evaluation methods) can integrate into orchestration platforms and content systems.

Key Qualifications

Deep knowledge of the localization technology landscape, including TMS platforms, CAT tools, and translation solutions.
Strong understanding of Neural Machine Translation (NMT), Large Language Models (LLMs) for translation/adaptation, post-editing practices, and quality evaluation tools (MQM, BLEU, human evaluation methods).
Experience comparing translation technology vendors and supporting buy vs. build vs. hybrid decisions in enterprise environments; experience with cloud-native localization platform migrations is highly preferred.
Experience with content management platforms (e.g., Adobe Experience Manager) and content production workflows, specifically related to translation and localization.
Hands-on experience connecting CMS platforms to translation/MT providers through APIs and orchestration layers.
Background in modernizing legacy localization workflows and migrating toward service-based architectures.
Proven ability to design automated content workflows that reduce manual work and increase translation leverage.
Demonstrated strengths in clarifying business problems, identifying process and UX gaps, and representing business needs in technical discussions.
Expertise in writing business requirements, epics, and user stories for engineering and UI/UX teams; experience shipping localization, TMS, CMS, or enterprise-grade tools.
Successful collaboration with engineering teams to reduce technical debt, introduce new technologies, and migrate to modern architectures.
Experience planning and leading complex technology projects, managing ambiguity, and driving issue resolution across the full lifecycle.
Excellent written, verbal, and presentation skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly.
Deep experience with Agile methodologies; skilled in using JIRA/Confluence to manage backlogs, epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria.
5+ years of experience in localization technology, language engineering, or product/technology management.

Responsibilities

Assess the current localization and content workflow architecture and identify opportunities for modernization.
Evaluate emerging MT, LLM, and localization tools/platforms and recommend how they should fit into the broader ecosystem.
Guide Business and Engineering teams through buy vs. build vs. hybrid technology decisions.
Architect end-to-end content management and localization solutions, driving toward a more efficient, automated future state for global content distribution.
Build, maintain, and evangelize the product roadmap for content management systems and localization tools; ensure alignment with business goals and user needs.
Lead exploration and validation of new language technologies, including tools for better orchestration, visual translation context, and seamless integration with upstream systems.
Oversee project delivery across the lifecycle—funding, release schedules, status tracking, risk mitigation, and quality assurance.
Collaborate with Business, Engineering, and UI/UX teams on design reviews, feature prioritization, scope planning, and release scheduling.
Write clear and detailed requirements, epics, and user stories that translate business needs into actionable engineering tasks.
Serve as a subject matter expert on localization and language technologies, understanding cross-platform dependencies and identifying areas to unlock new capabilities.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss this role in more detail, I’d be happy to connect.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
