A day in the life
You'll review production dashboards tracking asset delivery across multiple campaigns, funnel stages, and international locales. You'll check localization status, assets in translation or awaiting approvals and resolve bottlenecks by coordinating with translation agencies and stakeholders. You'll facilitate briefing sessions with agencies, ensuring they understand localization scope, which locales need adaptation, cultural sensitivities, and how to structure assets for efficient translation. You'll manage the localization review process, coordinating with stakeholders like Legal and PR, tracking assets through review cycles, consolidating feedback, communicating revision requests, and ensuring final sign-offs. You'll troubleshoot localization challenges, translations that don't capture brand voice, cultural adaptation questions, or timeline conflicts between locales. You'll manage localization vendor relationships, conducting check-ins to review performance and discuss process improvements. You'll maintain the creative asset library with meticulous organization by campaign, funnel stage, locale, and language version. You'll balance multiple campaigns simultaneously across funnel stages and locales - managing competing deadlines, coordinating across time zones, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. Your organizational skills, attention to detail, and localization expertise ensure Amazon Leo's localization runs smoothly from awareness through conversion across all geographies.
