Whatnot

• Build a strong understanding of Whatnot's buyer and seller experience, marketplace terminology, and live shopping ecosystem. • Review the Japanese app and web experience across agreed-upon user journeys and product flows. • Evaluate whether language feels natural, intuitive, and culturally appropriate for Japanese users. • Assess whether key flows are clear, trustworthy, and easy to understand for both buyers and sellers. • Identify terminology, messaging, and UX patterns that may create confusion or feel unnatural in a Japanese context. • Update translations directly in our translation management system where issues can be resolved at the string level. • Document issues that cannot be solved through translation alone, including source copy, UX, design, technical, or product-related concerns. • Provide clear recommendations and rationale for proposed improvements. • Help improve consistency across Japanese terminology, product language, and user-facing messaging. • Share findings and collaborate with the Localization team on prioritization and follow-up actions.

Job Requirements

  • Native-level Japanese speaker based in Japan.
  • Professionally fluent in English.
  • Experienced in localization QA, linguistic review, product localization, UX writing, content design, or related fields.
  • Able to evaluate language within real product experiences, not just as standalone translations.
  • Comfortable identifying both linguistic issues and broader usability or cultural adaptation opportunities.
  • Familiar with translation management systems such as Smartling or similar platforms.
  • Detail-oriented, analytical, and able to clearly explain recommendations.
  • Experience with ecommerce, marketplaces, live commerce, mobile apps, or consumer products is a plus.
