What you'll do
- Review every style guide and glossary update, assess which quality categories and content types it affects, and record the changes
- Track what the client's Language Manager actually corrects and says in calibration and quality calls, not only what is written down
- Run regular alignment roundtables with the language community and publish a structured monthly quality digest covering performance, priority improvement areas, style guide updates, and notable errors and arbitration outcomes
- Coach Reviewers one-to-one using specific examples, run shadowing sessions, and deliver training built from real alignment data
- Turn recurring justification patterns into well-reasoned style guide proposals, and share cross-locale patterns with the Welocalize Quality Manager
- Treat Language Manager decisions as the standard, raise concerns with evidence at the right forum, and aim for fewer surprises over time
- Own the locale's review service score, including RQE audit and alignment performance
- Own the community's shared understanding of quality
- Own the integrity of the arbitration record, ensuring that every arbitration sent to the client is valid and well-evidenced
- Own the working relationship with the client's Language Manager, including clarifications, escalations, and expectation tracking
What we're looking for
- 3 to 5+ years in Localization Quality Assurance (LQA), Senior Language Lead, or Quality Governance roles
- Direct experience as the primary point of contact for client Language Managers, managing formal arbitration or escalation processes, and facilitating conflict resolution
- Deep, practical experience with localization evaluation frameworks, including RQE, LQE, error rubrics, and severity mapping
- Ability to analyse style guide changes, identify implicit client expectations, and map tolerance by content type (for example, Marketing vs. Legal vs. UI)
- Hands-on experience with one-to-one coaching, shadowing sessions, alignment roundtables, and structured monthly quality reporting
- Skill in tracking error concentrations, severity drift, and alignment scores, and in converting justification patterns into style guide improvements
- Native-level Estonian and professional-level English
