spaceOS is the most advanced operating system for the next generation of safe, flexible, and human-centric workspaces. The future of work is the future of worker choice and well-being.

We are looking for a Localization Manager who will help develop a great user experience for our customers in all our 10 languages. You will work with internal teams such as Product, Development and Customer Experience and external vendors.

Your primary goal will be to scale and automate our localization processes to accommodate the growth of spaceOS, through optimising our tooling, enabling quality tracking, clearly communicating progress to stakeholders and creating all round efficiency.

You should have a passion for localization technology and content management solutions, be adaptable and resilient to change, eager to grapple with technical challenges and willing to help define the next era of work.
