Title: Program Manager – Translation & Program Execution
Location: Remote
Duration: 05 Months
Employment Type: Contract

Job Description:
  • We’re looking for a hands-on Program Manager to drive execution across a complex, cross-functional product environment, with a strong focus on translation and localization readiness. 
  • This is not a traditional coordination role. This role is about owning execution end-to-end, eliminating bottlenecks, and driving outcomes across multiple teams. 
  • You will be responsible for ensuring that translation deliverables—from application content to user-facing artifacts—are fully integrated, validated, and ready for release, while also supporting broader program execution across a high-impact product program. 
 
What You’ll Do:
  • Own Translation & Localization Execution (PCO Readiness) 
  • Own the end-to-end flow across: Content readiness → development (strings/artifacts) → translation → review → defect closure 
  • Ensure all deliverables are fully translated, validated, and defect-free at release readiness 
  • Drive alignment across Engineering, UX, Localization, Regulatory, and external vendors 
  • Identify and remove bottlenecks caused by handoffs, misaligned timelines, and rework loops 
  • Define and enforce execution discipline: “Ready for translation” criteria 
  • Structured handoffs and clear ownership 
  • Manage evolving changes via controlled updates (not full-cycle rework) 
  • Own the loop from translation → issues → fixes → validation → readiness 
 
Drive Program Execution Across Workstreams:
  • Support execution across key program areas as needed 
  • Drive: Milestone tracking and delivery alignment 
  • Cross-functional coordination 
  • Dependency management 
  • Identify, track, and mitigate risks and issues 
  • Contribute to program-level reporting and leadership updates 
  • Step in to own and stabilize execution where ownership or coordination gaps exist 
 
Tools & Operating Environment:
  • You will operate in a data-driven execution environment, leveraging tools such as: 
  • Jira – for managing work tracking, dependencies, and workflow visibility 
  • Confluence – for documentation, process definition, and knowledge management 
  • Smartsheet – for program tracking, cross-functional alignment, and reporting 
  • You should be comfortable setting up structure in these tools—not just consuming reports 
  • Experience creating clarity and visibility across messy, multi-team workflows is critical 
 
Must Have:
  • 7–10+ years in program/project management in complex, cross-functional environments 
  • Proven ability to drive execution across multiple teams with heavy dependencies 
  • Strong track record of delivering outcomes—not just tracking status 
  • Experience working with engineering, content, and/or documentation workflows 
  • Strong working proficiency in Jira, Confluence, and Smartsheet 
  • Ability to influence teams and drive alignment without direct authority 
 
Nice to Have:
  • Experience in localization, translation workflows, or global product delivery 
  • Background in regulated industries (medical device, healthcare, pharma) 
  • Familiarity with:  
  • Mobile / cloud software development 
  • Vendor-based execution models 
  • Agile / SAFe environments
