This role serves as a primary liaison between internal stakeholders (Technical Communication, Marketing, Quality/Regulatory, R&D, regional business units, and others) and external localization vendors. The Localization Project Manager III ensures localized deliverables meet linguistic quality, cultural, regulatory, and brand requirements while managing scope, schedule, cost, and risk across medium-to-large projects and programs.

Responsibilities:

• Plan, scope, schedule, and manage medium-to-large translation and localization projects and programs across multiple products, media, and languages, from intake through delivery and post-release review.
• Serve as the main point of contact for assigned localization projects, coordinating requirements, priorities, and status with project sponsors and stakeholders.
• Coordinate work with third-party localization service providers (LSPs), including project setup, handoffs, queries, deliverable review, and acceptance.
• Support cost estimation, resource planning, and scheduling for upcoming localization work; provide data-driven input into budget and vendor capacity planning.
• Track progress against scope, schedule, and quality targets; prepare and deliver project status and summary reports to stakeholders and management.
• Identify, assess, document, and mitigate risks related to localization quality, timelines, and budgets for assigned projects; escalate issues and recommend options based on analysis of limited or incomplete information.
• Coordinate linguistic review, functional/UI checks, and defect resolution; monitor quality metrics and drive corrective and preventive actions with vendors and internal partners.
• Work with Regulatory Affairs and regional teams to execute against current market-specific language requirements for labeling, IFUs/eIFUs, GUIs, and supporting content.
• Execute localization activities under approved QMS procedures (ISO 13485-aligned), ensuring document control, revision history, and traceability for localized labeling, IFUs/eIFUs, and related records are retrievable for audits and inspections.
• Create, maintain, and govern product-specific terminology glossaries.
