What I'm looking for

I seek a project management/localization role that leverages translation and process-improvement skills in a collaborative, growth-oriented company with clear metrics and relocation openness.

I am a project manager and professional translator with eight years' experience leading localization and industrial projects, delivering measurable ROI and quality improvements. I have managed over 200 localization projects using XTRF and memoQ, improving company target ROI by 20% and building marketing initiatives that generated passive and event-driven sales.

I build cross-functional teams, implement document management aligned with ISO 9001:2015, and perform quality control on AI-assisted translations. I am fluent in Spanish (native), English (C1) and German (B2), and skilled with CAT tools, MS Office, SEO and basic SQL — ready to relocate and contribute to growth-focused teams.
