Your mission

As the Localization Operations Specialist, you will own the day-to-day localization run that keeps BlaBlaCar's product speaking 40+ locales across Android, iOS, and web. Your mission is to take full ownership of the recurring translation loop, from request intake to delivery, so that content reaches travelers in every market quickly, accurately, and on schedule.

You will run an AI-assisted localization pipeline end to end: triaging incoming requests, producing translations through our AI tooling, staging them for linguist review, and delivering them to the live product. You will be the operational backbone of the function during a period of automation and growth, holding the run reliably while the longer-term AI and strategy work moves forward in parallel.

You will work hand-in-hand with the Senior Localization Project Manager, who owns the assets, pipelines, and strategy, and partner closely with developers, Product Managers, content designers, and external linguists to keep the localization machine running smoothly.

Your responsibilities

Own the daily/weekly localization run: Take full ownership of the recurring loop — intake and triage of requests (Jira tickets and ad-hoc spreadsheets), AI translation through our tooling, staging for linguist review, and delivery to the product.

Run linguist review and job management: Handle the weekly review cycle — creating and grouping translation jobs, overseeing the automated publish, and answering linguist questions by tracing each string back to its source and closing the loop with the right person.

Run the monthly product content review: Coordinate the recurring review of live product strings — routing them to the per-locale reviewers, collecting their changes, and applying them back.

Keep quality high: Run the QA pass on each batch, act on validation flags (placeholders, plurals, do-not-translate terms), and fix reported localization bugs, both functional (truncation, layout, broken placeholders) and linguistic.

Support developers and product teams: Handle everyday content requests in the translation management system and answer string-context questions. Monitor the localization and content channels for incoming issues.

Track the work: Keep the content and word-count trackers up to date so every request is accounted for through delivery, and support the related reporting.

Your qualifications

Experience: Prior experience in localization, translation operations, or a content / project-coordination role in a tech or scale-up environment. Comfortable owning a recurring operational process end to end.

Tools & process: Hands-on with a TMS (Phrase a strong plus) and comfortable working inside ticketing and tracking tools (Jira, spreadsheets). Quick to learn new operator tooling.

AI fluency: Comfortable working with AI tools day to day and confident reviewing their output critically rather than taking it at face value. General AI fluency matters more here than a specific tool.

Rigor & autonomy: Highly organized and reliable under a fixed weekly cadence. Able to run the loop solo and flag issues early.
Languages: Full fluency in English is mandatory. French is a plus.

The team

The Localization function: A lean, heavily AI-assisted localization operation covering 40+ locales across all platforms, sitting within Product & Experience.

Your role in it: You own the run. The Senior Localization Project Manager owns the linguistic assets, the AI pipelines and tooling, vendor and budget strategy, and the localization roadmap — with a handover gradient where some judgment-heavy items shift to you as you ramp.

External stakeholders: The external linguist roster and translation vendors.

Internal stakeholders: Developers, Product Managers, content designers, and the wider Product organization.
