Role Description Hostinger reaches 4 million+ clients across 150 countries. Localization isn’t a translation pipeline anymore, but a growth lever. At this scale, every market requires precision, cultural depth and a team that can execute at speed - we need someone to own it. As Senior Localization Team Lead, you’ll: - Lead, coach and develop a team of Localization Specialists, creating an environment of psychological safety, ownership and continuous growth through regular feedback, performance conversations and data-driven quality improvements. - Manage and scale our external freelancer network, owning the full lifecycle from sourcing and onboarding to quality standards, communication and offboarding. - Translate business goals into localization execution plans, bringing market insights into planning and acting as the bridge between Localization Specialists and Localization Project Managers. - Validate strategic priorities against real team capacity and market realities, ensuring plans are both ambitious and operationally feasible. - Take ownership of complex localization challenges without established playbooks, including new market launches, AI-human review models and other strategic initiatives. - Identify recurring quality and delivery issues, uncover root causes and implement sustainable process improvements together with cross-functional partners. - Investigate performance anomalies, drive resolutions end-to-end and protect the team from unnecessary operational noise. - Evaluate, pilot and implement AI and localization technologies, partnering with language owners to build feedback loops that improve quality, efficiency and localization outcomes across all markets. Qualifications - 5+ years in localization, with at least 3 in a leadership role managing in-house linguists. - Hands-on background as a translator, editor or proofreader - you understand what you’re managing, not just how to manage it. - Demonstrated experience coordinating freelancers or external contributors across multiple markets, including onboarding and offboarding. - Strong analytical instincts: you read quality scores, OKR trends, and delivery data, not just volume reports. - Business-first minded: you connect localization work to business outcomes and never present a finding without a “so what”. - Fluent in the language of cross-functional stakeholders: Marketing, Product, Engineering. - Proficient with core localization tooling: CAT tools, project management systems and AI platforms (Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude). Nice-to-have skills - Experience coordinating freelancers or external contributors across multiple markets, including onboarding and offboarding. - Experience with AI search readiness: structured data, entity optimization, or AI crawler monitoring. - Familiarity with SurferSEO, Accuranker or localization-adjacent SEO tools. - Background working in or alongside high-growth, multi-locale product companies.

Advance your career with internal mobility, and grow with a team eager to share knowledge and support your success. - 🎯 Freedom & responsibility: Work on your terms, whether from the comfort of home or anywhere in the world. With a home office budget, you can elevate your workspace. Enjoy the flexibility to manage your schedule while bringing your ideas to life in a fast-paced, dynamic environment. - 💪 Wellness simplified: Your health comes first with company-provided sick days, 20 paid suspension days, Headspace subscriptions, and recharge leave. Participate in wellbeing-dedicated events and simply enjoy the balance of a lifestyle that prioritizes wellness. - 🎉 Work hard - play hard: Celebrate your achievements with company events like Town Hall, Meet the Client initiatives, team-building experiences, and workations. Celebrate life’s big moments with milestone gifts for weddings, new parenthood, and graduations.
