What I'm looking for

I am seeking project management roles in localization where I can improve workflows, train teams, and deliver high-quality, on-budget translations within collaborative, process-driven environments.

I am a dedicated Translation Project Manager with strong experience managing projects from request and quote through to delivery, primarily in the Life Sciences vertical. I combine project setup, budget oversight and vendor selection to meet client expectations for quality and timeliness.

I have hands-on knowledge of memoQ and practical experience with CAT tools, Plunet, Asana, Front and GlobalLink, and I integrate AI workflows to streamline translation processes. I routinely manage diverse file types including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, InDesign, MP4 video, images, Figma, and e-learning formats such as RISE and Storyline.

My responsibilities have included training coordinators and interns, maintaining project templates, conducting weekly and quarterly audits, creating client quotes, and investigating quality issues to implement corrective measures. I have supported ISO 17100–aligned procedures and overseen linguists, DTP and multimedia vendors, quality reviewers and localisation engineers.

I bring transferable skills from production and coordination roles, solid attention to detail from proofreading and quality control, and a collaborative communication style demonstrated through kick-off calls and regular client updates. I am motivated to improve workflows and training materials to drive consistent delivery and client satisfaction.
