ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

You will:

• Drive nomenclature standardization across various regions and Lines of Business (LOBs) to ensure operational consistency while respecting local nuances and regulatory requirements.
• Project manage the end-to-end translation and localization lifecycle for hundreds of technical artifacts, acting as the primary point of person for content parity between training materials and Internal Knowledge Base (IKB).
• Set the roadmap for global expansion by ensuring all documentation is "market-ready," enabling new regions to achieve successful launches with high learning proficiency and safety outcomes.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product, legal, and regional ops teams to ensure that localized content meets the specific safety-critical and regulatory needs of each unique market.
• Own the quality and integrity of translated technical content, ensuring that "translation" never comes at the expense of technical accuracy or safety compliance.

You have:

• Successful track record of leading large-scale projects in high-pace environments where business-critical deadlines and high volumes of change are the norm.
• Strong expertise in managing global vendors and extended workforces to deliver high-quality localized content within budget and on schedule.
